Most people have the TV on for many reasons. They just like to watch their shows, background noise, the sense of not being alone, or just because it is there. I used to have it on all the time for the noise or to keep me company during the day. In the last couple of months, I have turned it off and have noticed a marked inprovement in my anxiety. Of course, I have also started on Adderall therapy during this time. I am ADD, and unlike Noa, I couldn't get a thing done with the distraction of the TV or radio. (It is hard for an ADDer to focus on more than one thing at a time.) I would turn it off for a bit and see what it does for you. I still watch my shows I like in the evening and my kids really enjoy Nick and AP, but when there is "nothing" on, it's off. Give it a whirl... It is kinda weird the first few days though... I have found some nice classical music takes it's place much better! Vivaldi, The Four Seasons is a good one, good mix of upbeat and mellow...
