How to watch late night TV without your parents knowing

1. Buy some headphones. The key to getting away with this is to not let your parents hear any of the sound. Most TV’s have a headphone jack. So all you need is a nice pair of headphones with a long cord—so you can curl up in bed and watch TV all night long.

2. Cover the crack in the door with a towel. The biggest giveaway that you are watching TV will be the reflection of the light underneath your doorway. Simply roll up a long beach towel and place it front of the crack on your door; this will block out most of the light.

3. Drape a towel around the edges of your TV so light does not reflect in the room. The final step in getting away with this is to drape a towel around the edges of your TV so that no light can reflect off it and possibly give you away.

4. Lock your door and enjoy late night TV. Finally, make sure that your door is locked to avoid any unexpected intrusions and you are set.
