You lose your eye sight, that's what my mum always told me. So these days people take a few steps back from the TV, and get themselves a 50 inch TV so it's almost as if you are sitting in front of the television anyway.
With children at least, the answer is yes. Studies have shown that children that sleep with light in their room such as lamps, night lights, or televisions have an increased chance of near sightedness as adults. Apparently, they need the hours of darkness for their eyes to properly develop. Falling asleep with the TV once and a while isn't dooming them to a life time of glasses, but it shouldn't be made a habit.
If you are closer than 4-6 ft. from the television screen, whether in the dark or not, your eyesight will slowly become weaker (over time, not necessarily in one sitting). Watching televison in the dark is also bad for your vision, and can cause vision problems as well.
Watching too much television can cause eye strain, leading to symptoms like dry eyes, blurry vision, headaches, and fatigue. Prolonged exposure to the blue light emitted by screens can also disrupt your sleep patterns. It's important to take breaks, adjust lighting, and practice good eye care habits when watching TV for extended periods.
To practice alternate nostril breathing for relaxation and balance, sit comfortably with a straight spine.

You really shouldn't sit all that closely, simply because it's hard on the eyes and besides, you need to sit far enough away that you can easily view the entire screen and not just a portion of it. As far as getting `too close', I don't think that x-ray's are much of a problem with the newer TV's and that was the only reason for having to sit at least 6' feet away from the TV in the late 50's before they learned to design an x-ray protection circuit.
well put it down and sit on it

This is a myth, but it also really matters how close. Why would you want to sit so close you get a headache. Your body's really not just being a pest, it's telling you something is wrong and it's your job to fix it. Sitting WAY too close will impair your eyesight. Also you can get headaches and dizziness.

Yes It could. While the old wive's tale that sitting too close to the tv can make you go blind is simply not true, it is possible that sitting too close to the screen (tv, computer, or otherwise) for too long can definitely cause eyestrain (which is temporary), or, in some people, myopia, or nearsightedness (which tends to be permanent unless you get corrective surgery).
