Pitch dark and no TV is so important to me, but not my hubby

Part of the reason I cannot sleep all night, or even fall asleep at times is because my husband is so used to falling asleep with the TV on. I have explained to him over and over again, that I love it extra quiet and pitch dark. I have tried ear plugs and eye mask, but to no avail. It has become so bad that now, even when he does turn off the TV, I still wake up every night. Maybe it is because a pattern has started that I cannot break. Not sure what to do at this point. I just know that I am tired of waking up every night and breaking my rest.
