WE KNOW HOW you feel. The week looms ahead and you have a lot on your plate.

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing questions…

Specifically: what is your view on having a television in the bedroom? While some feel it is essential to help tune-out after a long day and gently fall asleep while watching the box, others believe that telly watching should be confined to the living room and that a bedtime book will do just nicely.
