Is it normal to only be able to fall asleep with the tv on?

My mom is like this.

I am like this as well. It makes relaxing much easier when you feel less alone and vulnerable. Exposed to the voices in your head. I'm trying to sleep without it and i have noticed that my sleep is much deeper and more fulfilling without my tv on. Though the act of falling asleep is much more difficult. So i recommend putting music on until you get used to sleeping without it. The lack of TV light, AND the lack of noise, was a little too much for my senses. So i turned some tunes on so at least one of the pleasurable senses was still around.. (hearing) so music was quite helpful!

I can fall asleep with the TV off if I take some pills and stay COMPLETELY still for a VERY long time

I'm not alone cuz the TV's on. I'm not crazy cuz I take the right pills everyday.
