They pass out in front of a screen or to something in the background. I'm going to guess a smaller and smaller percentage of people go to sleep, "neat", without anything playing.

I rarely fall asleep with any sort of media on. I use to only fall asleep with the TV on. I’m glad I don’t anymore. I sleep much better than I use to.

We have our room dark with a fan running for background noise.   There is no TV in the bedroom.

My bedroom has no fixed entertainment systems. The biggest sinner is the mobile phone, but I don't use it too often after going to bed. If anything, watching a monitor the last hours before going to be is a bigger issue.

My wife likes to fall asleep with the TV on and I can't stand it. Usually I don't go to bed until after she falls asleep and I can turn it off. If I leave it on, it will wake me up in the middle of the night.

I can go to sleep pretty much anywhere with no issues. That said, I will either read or watch something very light to start feeling drowsy then switch off and am usually out within 2 minutes.

I haven't always been, but I'm a pretty good sleeper. Sometimes I watch TV before bed, sometimes I'm on my laptop or phone, sometimes I read. As long as I'm in bed and not on the couch, it's not an issue. I don't need a fan or a white noise machine or anything either. Darker is better, but I don't draw my shades and there are streetlights directly outside my window, so that's not really an issue either.

Don't know if anyone else experiences this, but I turn off the TV and the lights and go to bed. I fall asleep quite quickly. Then, I will wake up to take one of my middle of the night pees, and I cannot return to sleep! I will toss and turn all night long until we start getting "grey light" in the sky. That's when I'll crash hard and sleep like the dead until 10 or 11AM!

I've never done this before, and am at a loss to explain it!

I am a 6 hour guy. As long as I get 6 hours of sleep, I am happy. Problem is that some nights are better than others. The nights I dream, are my better sleep nights.

Now lately, around 2pm, with nothing else going on, I have been taking little 30 minute naps.

I sleepuch better after a drink or two. I know studies have shown that to not be true, but there is a certain point where I can be knocked out for 7-8 hours no problem. No tv in our bedroom since we started dating so the only noise we have is a fan/wind noise maker for white noise in the bedroom. No lights or tv needed

It could be the quality of sleep. You could get 7-8 hours of bad sleep versus good sleep. I am aware of when I toss and turn more than I normally do. I tend to not be as energized the next day when I do so.

On nights I close at work, I get home around 10:00 pm... I can't go right to sleep, so I'm usually up till 2:00 or 3:00 am. Writing posts on here etc.

I personally sleep with a fan and like @billchao my wife hates it. It can be 25 below out and I have the fan brewing even then. I've compromised and turned the fan away from her. But if my 4-year-old comes down in the middle of the night, She usually wants it on her for a little while.

The same thing used to happen to me, and the only way I can avoid it is to not drink anything within 2 hours of going to bed, and then, don't get up to pee during the night.  Also, no caffeine after noon, and no nap during the day.  And plenty of exercise.   Then and only then can I get a good night's sleep. 

I often violate those rules, and wind up surfing TheSandTrap at 4AM.

Exactly the same here.  Fortunately, she goes to bed a good bit before me, so it works for us.

I don't really watch much television, but lately I've been trying to turn off the computer (and phone) for 30 minutes or so before heading to bed...usually by reading a book instead.

This is kind of amazing. I've noticed the same thing. It also helps if there is some sense of "motion" in the dream. Sometimes, in my mind's eye it will seem as if I am flying low over water, or a waving grain field. Or over mountainous terrain. This is something that just happens, and I have no ability to control or command it. But when it happens, I will sleep like a baby!

Most of my dreams I cannot remember, but there's a particularly vivid one that hangs with me to this day. It features Ty Burrell, who play Phil Dunphy on Modern Family. In the dream I go to see some live show he was doing, in Florida, and he and his shady sidekick sabotage my pickup truck!

They take the seats, steering wheel, and gear shift out of my truck and won't tell me where they've hidden them! Also, I have no access to tools to replace the parts should I find them!

One of the crazier dreams I've ever had.

    • You are not wrong. The shaft and the head together both contribute to the performance of the club. I'd also suggest that they contribute in different amounts depending upon whether we are comparing a driver, an iron or a wedge. (We could argue all day about how much is the head and how much is the shaft... and I would enjoy the argument.) Having said that, in order for a youtuber or anyone else for that matter to completely optimize the club and then hit it in comparison to another completely optimized club is all but impossible. Just one of the many reasons why all club tests should be taken with a generous pinch of salt.  Not only that but even in robot testing there are variables that are outside the areas of control. I've personally been lucky enough to witness robot testing first had. It's fascinating how non-repeatable the results can be. Let me elaborate. With an 7 or 8 iron the robot can land balls over and over again in an area the size of a kiddie pool. However, when the testers moved away from a 7 or 8 iron, the results got less and less precise. Interestingly it didn't matter if they went up or down the bag. With the robot hitting short pitches and even chips, relatively, more variation than full short iron shots. Similarly, long drives with the robot created more variation as well. This is without the effects of wind, variations in the surface and texture of where the ball lands etc...  In addition, this doesn't take into account possible bias, either consciously or unconsciously of the tester. The testers I got to witness (these happened to by Taylormade guys, but I'm sure it doesn't matter), confessed that they could influence the results if they wanted to. They could take two clubs and make either of them "win" with robot testing if they wanted to. They made to the point to illustrate that in their job they had to constantly make sure they were fighting bias and/or putting in double checks, but never-the-less when I now read about any testing saying X club is 7 yards longer, I think back to their statement.  So, if it's that difficult to get really good results out of a robot imagine how difficult it is to get quantifiable results out of a human swinging a club.  Here's a fun test to try. Hit your driver 10 times on a launch monitor and gather the data (You can do 20 or 30 swings it doesn't matter). Now group the data into 2 sets, the odd numbered swings and the even numbered swings. Look at your two data sets. I guarantee that one data set will look "better" than the other. Even though, it's the same person swinging the same club on the same day. But if you just happened to be testing a driver against your driver on that day, Even if you gather your data by switching back and forth between the two drivers you may get misleading results. I've done this test a few times in my life and it's interesting to see how the "odd numbered me" or the "even numbered me" always produces different results, sometimes one will win by a large margin.  In summary, I too enjoy watching reviews of the new clubs that come out, especially drivers. But it is information not data.

    • Something I’ve been thinking about. I watch a lot of club tests, retired and get up way too early, and there’s something I think in my opinion might be being done wrong. They might pick several drivers, could be something different, and use the same shaft so things will be equal. In my mind a shaft might be good in one club and not in another. Learned the hard way, had my best ever driver at the time, G410, and kept hearing about how great the G425 MAX was. Since I sometimes have trouble finding senior shafts we traded heads and the 410 shaft never seemed to work out in the 425 head for me. Wasn’t as straight or as long so I have moved on. Don’t think everyone was wrong about the G425, just think that combination maybe didn’t work for me.
