Do you sleep with your phone beside you?

I don't mean literally in the same bed, but is your phone in easy reach when you go to sleep? I like to have a phone in my room in case of emergency, but I don't like to keep my cell in there, because I sometimes get the message coming in tones starting in the middle of the night. Yes, I suppose I could turn them off at night and turn them on again in the morning, but that is a lot of trouble! I just keep the phone in the other room and look at it when I get up. What about you?

My cell phone stays within arms reach on my bed. These are troublesome times we live in.

Yes, I feel safe here, but you never know..I am here by myself most of the time so having a safety net like a phone is good.

I do but put it on airplane mode so that I don't get disturbed by the notifications.

I just think a phone you can grab easily if you need to is probably a good idea,

I sleep with it in bed next to my pillow. I play on it until I fall sleep so that's why it lands there.

I keep my cell on my desk in my room, with notifications off, but emergency phone calls on. I keep it close to the house phone.

Phone is always between the wall and my pillow. But it's on silent, unless I know I will or might get a text or call from someone during the night.. like if a friend is having a bad night but I'm going to bed, I'll tell them if they need me, call or text. And thats when it'll be on.

I use the home phone that doesn't get messages if I keep a phone in my bedroom.

When I have to work the next day, my cell phone is not far away from me because I use this as an alarm. If I am free and out of the house, I have this on my bag in case my hubby or son called.

No, I switch my phone off before I sleep and place it some feet away from me.
