Boyfriend and I have been dating for a year this thursday 2/19 and it is the most wonderful, passionate, serious relationship either of us have experienced.

This seems to be one of the hardest compromises we've had to work out so far. In addition to him having a hard time falling asleep without television on, he has a physical therapy exercise that he does at bedtime where he lays on his side hanging his wrist off the bed with a weight. Because of this, he has to lay with his back to me during which time he likes to have Netflix on to watch with me spooning him from behind. 

However, even after his exercise is over, he still has a hard time falling asleep without television. Additionally, I fall asleep fairly quickly so by the time his half hour exercise is over, I'm ready to fall asleep anyway.

I tried suggesting he do his exercise during the day, but there isn't a good time to lay in bed for a half hour with his busy schedule.

We have such a passion for genuine conversation and hate it when couples go out to dinner together and spend the whole time on their phones not talking, but I feel like that is exactly what we are doing by going to bed with tv instead of affection and conversation. How do we compromise?
