Oprah Winfrey doesn't watch TV.

The media mogul may have her own network, OWN, but she doesn't watch programmes or listen to the radio at home because she finds background noise affects her ''energy''.

She said: ''Nothing keeps me awake at night. I don't watch news before bed. I have a very sensitive spirit - I absorb other people's feelings and empathise with them.

''I have to measure the energy that comes from my private space. I'm never in the house with noise - other than dogs yapping. I don't leave the TV or radio on. I don't have energy coming into my sphere that I'm not consciously inviting in.''

The 'Selma' star also believes it is important to ''clean her spirit'' every night by writing in her ''gratitude journal'' five things she is thankful for that day.

She explained to Psychologies magazine: ''I write in a gratitude journal every night before I go to bed. It cleans my spirit for the day and sets me up for the next day.

''I go through life looking for five things I can be grateful for and that changes my personal vibration as I'm looking for positive things to happen during my day.''
