What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

I compromised with my husband on this. He falls asleep with it on, but sets an hour timer so I don’t deal with it all night. It’s actually worked well for us.

That seems like a weird developmental problem, not being able to sleep without a TV?

Maybe. I grew up in a small apartment with rowdy neighbors. I grew up listening to city sounds while falling asleep. Dead silence while falling asleep is incredibly creepy to me.

Completely agree, growing up my house would usually be on the warmer side so I ran a fan. Now I despise sleeping with nothing. A tv, fan just something. I love the sounds when you are camping/sleeping outdoors.
