Thanks for your reply. Glad to hear you found a good change for yourself.
The TV was just an example though (I only recently have a TV). I could just as well be staring out of the window. Or reading a book. Or a news article. Anything that takes me 'away'. I usually barely remember the stuff I read or saw too.
