Don't know what junk sleep is, but the reason you fall asleep in front of the TV is because there's never anything good on. Buy some DVDs or read a book! :wink:

junk sleep is just like a term for unhealthy sleep. e.g. in children -if they're over stimulated before they go to bed, or stay up too late this is unhealthy, and can cause problems in later life. spose watching telly is junk sleep but i duno,.

Junk sleep is about developing healthy sleeping patterns. Falling asleep in front of the TV is not goping to help develop a healthy sleeping pattern. It's not a major issue in reality.

I always fall asleep in front of the tv. I can't concentrate after about 30mins-1hour so I either fall asleep or have to go and do something else.
