The same as you, I leave my cellphone on when I'm asleep. It's a trouble to turn on it every morning. Besides, I use my cellphone also as a watch. However, don't forget to put your cellphone at least one meter away from you, cause the radiation is bad for our health. Hope everyone can realise this.

No, I leave my cellphone on in case of emergency call. Cellphone are usually turn on just like a landline telephone. In case you don't want to get disturb at night it's ok to turn it off.

Yes, I turn my cellphone off before going to bed at night, as it's unlikely I'll receive any calls in the middle of the night. It helps to prolong the battery life and I normally charge the battery only once a week as I seldom use it.

I leave mine on at all times, even when I am charging the phone. That's because someone might need to contact me urgently so that's why I have the phone on all the time. Also, I tend to use my handphone as an alarm so that's also another reason why I don't switch it off.

I just put my cellphone in a low ring mode so that when it beep beep for a text message or a missed call.. it won't disturb me he he.. I don't turn it off.. usually, I get it turned of only when I'm charging it.

I always leave my cell phone one since no one calls anyway. What I should do is turn it off so it doesn't waste that much battery, save battery and energy that way

I actually HAVE to. I use the "alarm" feature of the cellphone. I now get the habbit of charging the phone earlier that evening and at night I put it by the bed and use the "alarm". If it doesnt work, 5 mint later I set the second one another one. So yeah even at night the phone is awake 24/7 always on no matter what.

I always charge my cellphone overnight, so I turn it off when I sleep. If I am sleeping, I don't want to get woke up either. If it is an emergency, they can call my landline.
