Binge watching TV shows on demand is a popular pastime, but it can cause viewers to develop cramps, get cricks in their necks, and lose sleep.

Fortunately, the professionals at Clear Creek Communications in Oregon City, OR, know a trick or two to help their customers avoid the discomfort that comes with watching television in bed or for long periods of time. As a top cable television, telephone, and high-speed internet provider, Clear Creek Communications understands how relaxing it can be to watch television before dozing off at night.

They recommend customers follow these tips for a more comfortable and better television viewing experience:

• Position Your TV Better: The best location for a television in a bedroom is on a tall piece of furniture, such as a dresser, or mounted high on a facing wall. If you’re watching a show or movie through the internet on a laptop or handheld device, keep it angled on a stand so you don’t hunch over.
• Use Support Accessories: You’ll find a variety of support accessories, such as support pillows, prop chairs, and angled glasses, online or at retail stores. If money is no worry, there are also adjustable beds that can be raised and lowered with the touch of a remote to make your position more comfortable.
• Use Lighting: Many people enjoy watching television in the dark, but it can cause eye strain and affect your ability to get a good night’s sleep. When a room is dark, your body transitions to sleep mode, but the glow of the TV forces you to stay awake. That’s why you should always have a little light when you’re watching television. Use a lamp or install a dimmer so your room isn’t in complete darkness while the TV is on.

Now that you’re comfortable, make sure you have the best cable television and high-speed internet service available. Call Clear Creek Communications at (503) 631-2101 or visit their website to learn more.
