8. Keep it PG
To avoid nightmares, select PG TV shows. TV shows come with ratings for a reason; they encourage parents to control what their children watch on TV. A very impressionable child, or one who isn’t old enough to tell fiction from reality and may dream about what they watched on TV. If you can’t miss the season finale of the very adult series you like, record it and watch it after the kids are in bed. And hope it doesn’t keep you up.
