Do you sleep with your phone besides you? email this discussion to a friend?

Hello friends,
Cellphones have become an integrated part of our life. Wherever we go our cellphone follows. I can't even sleep without it near me. Do you sleep with your mobile phone besides you? Well, I asked this question to many of my buddies and many answered in the affirmative. What is your answer?

Yes, about 14cms away from the bed hehe... It's easy to reach when there are messages or when it rings while I'm sleeping, and of course, my alarm.:)


Xpertcomments (86)   ranked 3,776 out of 38,095 in life  6 months ago

But no one calls in the night.


myLot reputation of 96/100. corrycrystal (992)   ranked 2,805 out of 38,095 in life  6 months ago

In cases like emergency calls, which I hope I won't receive any AND I do sleep until morning and sometimes, late morning, you know hehehe... So, generally, did you mean you only keep it beside you at NIGHT time while you're sleeping?

With the frequency of communication, cell phones just like keys or purses become one of the necessary stuff. Without it, we can`t imagine what if somebody has emergency call. And at same time, we keep it at bed when we fall asleep. I have the news that cell phones can emit some sort of radiation which can do harm to human body. No matter true or false, I always set the phone off line and put it near my pillow as a clock allam. Because I cannot get up on time and always late for school.


Xpertcomments (86)   ranked 3,776 out of 38,095 in life  6 months ago

Yes, they emit radiation. But we are maybe too addicted to understand.

I used to sleep with my cellphone as if it was my partner. I feel uncomfortable with my cp at my side even when I go outside. But now it has changed, coz I feel that it's not normal anymore and had control of it.


Xpertcomments (86)   ranked 3,776 out of 38,095 in life  6 months ago

So you have changed. Thats good.

Same with you, I also sleep with my celphone besides me.:) There are several reason why so. First, I am using my celphone to check the time frequently at night. I have a baby and he is having milk at night. I have to check the time when I created his milk as I have to monitor if the milk is still ok to drink or not. MIlk has only 4 hours of life span thus the clock checking:)

I am also using it as an alarm clock. Because of frequent waking at night, I might oversleep so I am setting my celphone's alarm clock to ensure I will still be able to wakeup on time.

I read somewhere that babies' skulls are too thin to resist radiation. I think you should avoid keeping cellphone near your baby. Thanks for responding.

I also sleep with my mobile next to me but apart from not being able to live without it, my reason is i set my alarm on my mobile to get up early in the morning;)

So i have an acceptable excuse..

Just as you said,cellphones play an important part in our daily life,but we still should keep a certain distance from the cellphones,because the radiation of the cellphone does harm to our health.when I sleep,I would turn off my cellphone.

True

No way! This is vaguely reminding of the "faithful army soldier" sleeping with his rifle. I use technology a lot but there has to be some tech-free or radition-free zone in my life, and basically for me that's the bed.

lol! Nice metaphor.

Yes I do. I don't have a home phone anymore so everyone calls my cell, not hubby's just mine. And, I have a son in Hawaii and he sends text messages "his time" which is the middle of the night my time. And he's 27! You would think he would try to sync the times just a bit rolleyes

Yeah. Tell him to call you in your daytime..haha
