Why does the ‘vibe’ change in a room when you turn the TV off?

1.08K views

Okay, it’s a hard feeling to explain in a title. And maybe it’s just me. Sorry for either/or.

Imagine you are sitting in your living room reading a book with your back to the TV. The TV is paused and you aren’t paying attention. But if you turn off the TV suddenly the room feels…*smaller?*

Is this an actual thing or is it just monkey brain?

The t.v. produces light, and light tends to make a room feel larger. You turn off the t.v. and the room gets darker, your eyes take in less, etc.
