Many of us have a habit of sleeping with the cell phone, either under the pillow or somewhere in the bed. I usually play music on my cell while sleeping & many at- times I used to sleep & when I wake u somewhere in the early morning, I can see that the mobile is still playing the music.
There was this incident happened a boy in N.C, was sleeping & his bed catched fire because the battery of his Motorolla cell phone got over heated. Thanks to the dog that was with him as the dog pulled the phone from the bed. The flames was beaten out but the boy suffered burns in his hands. There were many incidents reported across the world about cell phone catching fire, either because of over heating or because of defective batteries.
I was surprised to hear this & it was something hard to believe for me, but I still sleep with one under my pillow. So how many of you sleeps with the cell phones in bed?

Hello therehappy
well i dont have to worry about where my cell phone is actually, because i dont have one, i had a simple piece which got lost oncecry.Then i started using a phone which is quite old and does not work well, but then i even thought that i really dont need a phone for myself because i want to still manage myself without one.And i am withoout a phone now and it feels like i really dont need one till emergency i can use my sister's cell phone if i have to do with.


myLot reputation of 90/100. taztheone (1214)   ranked 977 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

You don't have a cell phone!shocked Most of the people do have cell phones & sometimes it won't be much of a concern if you don;t have one. However if you get a new boy friend, then I think you will badly need one. wink

Why would getting a new boyfriend/girlfriend be a reason to get a new cell phone? I don't understand the thinking here. If he or she can't date you unless you have a phone, then to heck with them; you don't need to be with him/her anyway.


myLot reputation of 90/100. taztheone (1214)   ranked 977 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

Well It's not their need, but it will be our need because we might badly want to talk to our partner. If you get a nice guy, don't you feel link talking to him? So if you have call phone with you, then there will be more privacy & romance in the relation. thumbup


myLot reputation of 97/100. vandana7 (1296)   ranked 5,851 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

Hi coolcoder,:) I think taztheone was just joking! He didnt mean any offence. And as he explained in the next post, some privacy may be necessary as the time when Archie's bf wants to call her, it might be with her sister. But other than that, I agree it is a dispensable object.


myLot reputation of 97/100. vandana7 (1296)   ranked 5,851 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

hi coolcoder, please read "it may be..." as "the cell phone may be.." in the above post.:)


myLot reputation of 90/100. taztheone (1214)   ranked 977 out of 37,964 in life  2 months ago

Hey Vandana, Thanks a lot for understandingthumbup. I'm always happy to get such an understanding friend. happy

I have mine close to the bed - either on the bedside cupboard or lying on top of my bag beside the bed incase there is any family emergency during the night but I've only fallen asleep with it in the bed once or twice - that's when I've been having text conversations and the responses stopped.


myLot reputation of 90/100. taztheone (1214)   ranked 977 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

It's very true that we might receive a call at any time & it's always better to keep the cell near the bed. However I hate the idea of someone waking me up from deep sleep. So I always put my cell on Silent mode. wink

Hello my friend happy

I think you should put the phone on something next to your bed if you really need to listen to the music, I never do this I se to listen to music on my phone as well, but not when I am going to sleep, o.k maybe once or twice now that I think of it, that was a long time ago, after reading this I will make sure I never do this again, how scary shocked


Thanks for posting this my friend.

Please be careful.

hi taz^^;;
Oh i do this! i usually put my cellphone under my pillow because i use it as an alarm clock.
Though i have heard several incidents and accidents regarding cellphone catching fire but i don't know why i wasn't alarmed.
Anyway, i'm a light sleeper and i'm sure i can easily be awaken just incase similar situation happens.

hmmm..but the bed sheets and pillows are a waste if it will be burnedlol


myLot reputation of 93/100. Lucky09 (615)   ranked 6,589 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

yay..thought i was first...hmm my notifications are a bit latelolw00t


myLot reputation of 90/100. taztheone (1214)   ranked 977 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

Hey it's nice to see your response. A light sleep is really good so that we can wake up anytime if there is some happenings around. By the way it's a nice avatar& I couldn't recognize you because you have changed the avatar, but then got you by the name. wink


myLot reputation of 93/100. Lucky09 (615)   ranked 6,589 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

and hey ya..be careful with your cellphone especially if we are buying accessories like extra battery or charger from unknown seller as there are many fake ones that we don't know and i think that is causing the disasterangry since it is not compatible to the product...

well, thanks for appreciating my avatar..thought i need a livelier one so i changed it. don't worry, you still look very handsome on you avatarwub
...hhmm did u star in Dhoom2 movie?lol


myLot reputation of 90/100. taztheone (1214)   ranked 977 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

Dhoom 2!lol I think those people might have copied my avatarwink
By the way that what you said is really true & we should always try to buy better accessories for our phones to avoid problems.
I think most of the people won't be able to recognize you, if you keep changing the avatar. So it's better to change them once you get matured here & once everyone starts recognizing you, so that you can be a little star here. cool


myLot reputation of 93/100. Lucky09 (615)   ranked 6,589 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

don't worry taz, i love my new avatar and will be keeping it for longwub

WOW, I'm glad I never do this. I know people who sleep with their phones because they use the alarm, but I always use a clock radio for that and charge my phone at night. I had a Motorola for two years; I'm glad I never slept with it! I still have it, but now it's in a drawer and I don't think it's even charged, frankly. I got a new Blackberry this month, but I don't sleep with that, either!


myLot reputation of 90/100. taztheone (1214)   ranked 977 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

Not only fire, but there can be a good amount of radiation that can be hitting your brains & continuous exposure can bring harm to the body. So even though I keep it under my pillow, I don't keep it exactly under my head nor the pillow my head rests. I would keep it at a distance. thumbup

Hello my friend I keep it under the pillow and that is the best place to keep it when the alarm rings it's easy to off the alarm and go to sleep again.... sleep


taz but there is a problem,and I face it constantly......and the problem is I have to look for the phone once I get up and there, it will be lying on the floorshockeddon't you face this?


myLot reputation of 90/100. taztheone (1214)   ranked 977 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

Phone lying on the floorlol I did face this problem when I sued to sleep in a single bed, but never had this problem with double bed. So if it's a single bed, try to keep it towards once side of the wall, it will be great if 2 sides are covered(top & side- like how i used to arrange it when I had single bed) & keep your phone towards the wall so that it won't fall down. thumbup

my phone lives on the bedside table, i use it as my alarm clock. then i know where it is and can hear it. also it would most likely end up on the floor during the night if i had it in bed with me.


myLot reputation of 90/100. taztheone (1214)   ranked 977 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

This is something which many of us face, but I hope nothing will happen to it after continuous falls. Happy Lottinghappy

I want to say i used to put my cellphone under my pillow without turn it off. But now i don't, i also put it under my pillow but with it turned off. I do it not because of the dear of it's blame but the harm to the people with it's radiation. I heard that the last radiation can harm people. It also exist when you don't make a phone. So just put you cellphone away from you when you sleep or just turn it off. Have a good day and happy mylot


myLot reputation of 90/100. taztheone (1214)   ranked 977 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

I wonder why you are keeping it under the pillow if you are afraid of radiation & that too switched off. It's better to keep it on silent mode & keep it on the nearby table.

Well, I must confess that I sleep with my cell phone under my pillow too, I took my cell phone with me everywhere I go (even on the shower) and never turn it off, not even for charging the battery.. this sounds weird but didn't know about cell phones on fire hahaa maybe I should be a little bit more careful with this.


myLot reputation of 90/100. taztheone (1214)   ranked 977 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

You take it even while bathing! Careful no to get it wet. Once my friend took his phone along for bathing & his girlfriend called him in between & while he tried to answer, the phone got wet & got damaged & there goes $250.

Well, I put it my cell phone on the drawer next to the bed. I use my cell as the alarm. It just keep singing and singing until I get up and shut it off.
I don't know that cell phona can be so dangerous. I know it's dangerous to use your cell phone when you fill the gas at the gas station or use your cell phone on the plane. Well, I should really get an alarm clock then. LOL


myLot reputation of 90/100. taztheone (1214)   ranked 977 out of 37,964 in life  3 months ago

Many of us do put alarm on the phone because it's more convenient. Used call phones for around 6yrs now & never faced any such problems, but you can never say when something may happen.
