Star Gazing Just Got a New Meaning

By Rob Burns

For thousands of years mankind has been laying under the stars waiting to fall asleep as they watch the wonders of the universe unfold above them. Until recent decades modern man has been watching a different kind of stars before bedtime, movie stars! 

That’s right millions of people fall asleep every night watching their favorite shows in bed. This is not a recent trend but has never really appealed to me since I find sitting in bed very uncomfortable while watching TV. Until now.

What’s more comfortable than how our forefathers used to lay on their backs outdoors watching the stars?  This gave me an idea! Since TVs have gotten so thin and light weight and TV mounting options have gotten so diverse, why not mount your TV on the ceiling over your bed?

You heard me correctly there are no rules saying you can’t stare strait up and watch TV.

So I proceeded to do a little research. I found a flat TVmount that can be locked in place with a set screw on the bottom to prevent the TV from falling off the mount and my buddy and I routed some cables through my attic to connect the TV to power and cable. We located some ceiling studs to secure the mount to…you definatly want to make sure you secure the mount well, otherwise you will be waking up to a very unpleasant surprise, I would even recommend a contractor to help out if you are unsure.

With a little bit of effort I am now watching TV while laying flat on my back. This is the most comfortable I have ever been, and the coolest part is I get to watch (movie) stars every night before falling asleep!
