I have the same problem. I think it is disrespectful that your rest isn't as important as someone, anyone being "entertained".
Even when I ask to turn down the volume, some commercials and screams or random Siren's, Gunshots wake me from my rest and I don't reach the realm of sleep that my body and mind need to be productive the next day. It sucks. If the T.V. can't be watched in the other room. try sleeping in the Kid's room. Don't be nice about not getting rest. Some people are addicted to T.V.
Good luck.
