mediaphage posted:keeping computers and tvs in the bedroom is a bad idea for sleep purposes even if it is popular. I'm not trying to be combative here, but why is that a bad idea? Because the only thing I could think of is that it causes people to stay up watching tv or using the computer instead of sleeping, but I don't think that's specific to where they're located, i.e., they'd be just as likely to be up late wherever the tv or computer is located.

It’s bad “sleep hygiene” to do stuff in bed that’s not sleeping and/or horizontal recreation.

Yeah, but I just figured that anyone who will sit in bed playing games/watching tv or using a computer, would probably do so at a desk or couch or such elsewhere and thus be at sleep deficit regardless. I could see for ergonomics or such though?

The sleep hygiene theory isn’t exactly related to just getting as many hours as you need, the idea is that your brain should associate the bed with sleeping, not with “time to focus on text or glowing rectangles”. I think years ago I noticed a bit of improvement from bed routine things, but I don’t know how big of a deal it is if you’re already having no trouble falling and staying asleep.

I’ve never had trouble falling and staying asleep and I’ve been playing games and reading in bed since the GBA got a backlight. So it depends on the person most likely.

My point is that a living room is part of the 'public' space of a house; the place where you have guests over to entertain them. It doesn't look nice to have your computer plonked in there, it's... unprofessional, for want of a better word, and makes you look like a teenager living in a dorm. Much like you wouldn't have your ironing board set up or laundry/mail strewn everywhere when guests are over - the difference being those things can be put away before people come over whereas a desktop computer can't. I would agree that having your computer in your bedroom isn't ideal either - the perfect scenario is to have a room set up as a home office space, that way all that stuff is out of sight of guests and also doesn't make you feel like you're having sex in the office if you have company over; but plenty of people don't have the luxury of a spare bedroom in which case I think putting it in the bedroom is a better compromise than having it in the living room. Sleep hygiene is a function of discipline more than anything else. Turn your computer off and don't pick up your phone once you've gone to bed. While you're at it, get out of the habit of using devices or watching tv in the dark - well lit rooms = awake time, darkness = sleepytime. If your home is really so cramped that you have no choice but to do your computering in the living room, I feel like you should at least be considering using a MacBook rather than an iMac so that you can put it away somewhere when it's not in use.

Interior decorating has always been a rich (wo)man’s game. I think it is more than a little unrealistic to expect the ‘principles of interior decorating’ to not be classist, or to get upset about how much money it costs to have the nicest and most stylish home, especially in a highly desirable location.

I quite happily accept that when space is at a premium, you have to make difficult decisions on the balance between aesthetics and function. I just think that having a desktop computer in your living area should be the worst case scenario option, not a first choice. Personally, If I lived in a studio apartment or even a 1 bedroom apartment, I'd have a Macbook Pro as a computer - then it could be put away when not in use. italian quid posted:think of how many "live, love, life" panels you can put in your living room if one wasn't in there.
