Excellent post. I did this recently when I redecorated my room. It used to be filled with all manner of electronic gadgetry - there was a computer, an FM radio, a DAB radio, mobile phone chargers protruding from every wall, it was like sleeping in a Best Buy. The only thing I've never had in there is a TV. Since I redecorated, there's been just one clock radio by my bedside, with an auto-dimming soft blue display (Pure Siesta[1], if anyone's interested, highly recommended) and a charger for my Android phone, plugged in out of reach of my bed to avoid the temptation to check emails, websites, Twitter etc in bed. (Incidentally, I've also self-banned the radio station I work for from my bedroom. Too much temptation to tune in, check what's being broadcast, and being woken up by the voice of a co-worker is vaguely creepy. I always listen to other stations in bed.) I'd highly recommend doing it, if you have another room to put your electronics. Lots of things on standby can create noise, flashing lights, glowing LEDs, mains hum, and it's not conducive to a good sleeping environment. A quiet space, disconnected from the distractions of the outside world, is essential for relaxation.
