My husband is great for falling asleep with the tv on...he'll wake up with a start because the volume increases so much during commercials and either grab the remote for the electric recliner and or the phone...or when the phone rings when he's asleep in his chair, he starts pushing buttons on the tv remote and messes it up...then I have to try to figure out what he did to fix it...sometimes I think it would be easier for me, if he still had to go to the tv to change the channels and rather than the portable phone, we had kind of phone hanging on a wall away from him...Naomi
