The Rules

Before Sir Luke and I began out life together we came up with a couple house rules to keep the love alive for the rest of our lives. Sir Luke’s rule was no computers in the bedroom and mine was no television in the bedroom. The goal here is to have a calm and no-media room we can both escape to.

There will be exceptions. Mostly computers when a person is ill and needs some semblance of entertainment while holding up in bed. Sir Luke was the first to break his own rule, but with good reason. Poor little sickie.

The point is Luke shared this post from Lifehacker.

“The New York Times reports on several disturbing statistics connecting televisions in the bedroom to health and developmental problems like obesity, insomnia, and more. The article focuses on the effects of the bedroom TV on kids (who see lower test scores and are at a higher risk of smoking), but we’ve also seen how electronic media can hinder a good night’s sleep for adults, as well.”

What do you think? TV or no TV? One thing is for sure, our kids (whenever those come along) will certainly not be having a television in their bedroom.
