Do you sleep with your phone besides you?

I only have a prepaid cell phone that I keep to use to make long distance calls or in the event of an emergency. My cell phone is not THAT important to me as it is for many others I know. When I sleep I have a phone by my bed but the ringer is not turned on. The phone downstairs has the ringer on and if I am not awake to answer the phone the answering machine picks up and records the calls message for me. I hate being woke up in the middle of the night by people accidentally calling the wrong number. Unless it was an emergency there is no reason anyone would need to call me in the middle of the night. When someone leaves a message I usually can hear it slightly through the floor without getting up to answer the phone anyway. My daughter sleeps in my bed and my sons room is connected to mine so if the phone rings in my room it would wake both of them up while they were sleeping and I wouldnt want that.

Oh heck no! I actually am one of the few people that hate my cell phone. When I first got a cell phone (way back when) I loved it. I loved the fact that I could get ahold of someone and they could get ahold of me. Now, I can't stand that someone can track me down regardless of where I am at. Yuck! If I slept with my phone I don't think I would ever get any sleep. Lately I even turn off my cell phone about 9:00 just to get a break.

yes i keep my phone near me when i sleep with alarm activated.

I usually keep my phone turned on and I shove it under my pillow. It has my alarm clock on it so I need to have to with me, or at least that's the excuse I use.:)

Cellphones should be for our convenience and having it next to me in bed is something I consider an invasion of my privacy. I mean, I'm supposed to be resting when sleeping and so I wouldn't want to be disturbed. If I have to use the alarm in my phone I have to turn the phone off or at least set it on silent mode with vibrations off.

It may not be right beside me, but it is in the room charging. I use that as my alarm clock, so it has to be close by!

I do sleep with my phone beside me, cause I need it so that I'll know the time when I wake up. We have no wall clock or any clock in our room so that's why I use my phone. LOL. Plus, I keep thinking that someone might call, like an emergency or something, and I want to be able to wake up to answer the call. I'm not afraid that it will fall off my bed cause I put it near the wall.=)

no i don't... i don't want to be disturbed when i am sleeping... so i keep my phone in my bag... sometimes i even put it in a silent mode because i get really irritated and annoyed when it rings when i am sleeping... if it is a very important call, the caller can always call me to my homephone... that's when i know that it is really important and i will pick it up... take care and have a nice day...

Haha. Never thought this would be a discussion. But I would have to say, yes. My cell phone "sleeps" next to me while it is on the charger every night under my pillow. I know it sounds weird, but I have a lot of friends that like to call in the middle of the night if they want to talk about somethings (usually if it's troubling them) so my phone is on all the time. So yes, my phone "sleeps" next to me in case if anyone needs to get a hold of me.:)

Yup, I do. Because of its alarm.
