did you always put your mobile beside you everytime you go to sleep? because i always do that i usually put it under my pillow but i off the ringtone and on the vibrate alert so when someone call me i just get it under my pillow and no need to look where is it or get up just to pick up and answer the call and i also used it as my alarm clock:-) how about you?

Hey and do you know it is not good for you health, dear? You shouldn't do that, becuase it can cause you a bad sleeping. we sould have any appliances or cell phone in out bedroom, or at least to have it 10 meters from our bed. You might change you habbits, beucase it is really not good for you.Can you believe I don't even have a cell phone? And can you imgaine how haooy I am wothout it? When I had one I was so addcited to it and now if I don't have one, it is so different, i feel so free.

I always turn my mobile off at night because I don't want any calls awaking me which has happened in the past! I have a clock radio to wake me up, however when I go abroad I always use my mobile as a wake up call.

I don't use my cell phone for an alarm clock or anything else but as a phone. I keep it on the night table by my bed so if I get any calls I can answer it right away. I only use my cell phone for emergencies and my friends and family know that so if it rings it is usually something very important. And then I wouldn't want to miss a call.

yes, i always put my mobile phone beside my pillow. sometimes also its my alarm clock to wake me up and sometimes before i sleep its my tool to make me sleepy, i played games and when i feel sleepy then i put it beside my pillow so whenever there's call or text i can just easily reach it out and read it or answer the call.

Hello Pinay, I never put my mobile phone on vibrate when I sleep because I'm a deep sleeper and I couldn't hear it. I put it very close to my, I need only to extend my arm. I also use it for alarm clock but the thing is that I wake up, stop the alarm and fall back asleep. :( Take care and have a great day. ScarFace.

I am not much into using my cellphone, I have an alarm clock to wake me up at mornings so I don't bring it beside me nor put it under my pillow. I put my cellphone on a holder, I would check it first thing in the morning if ever I received a missed call or a message. I don't expect anything urgent, so I only use it when it is really needed.

I do the same thing. I also put my phone under my pillow keeping it to vibrate mode because it is easy to find when we get any call and also others don't get disturb when we get call at night if we keep the ringtone on.

I usually put my mobile under my pillow, but only when I'm out of home. Anyhow, while at home, I don't get any call so we can take it as for always. And yes, I too use my mobile as alarm, that too is the reason why I put it under my pillow. :)

Sunday to Thursday nights, one of my mobile phones sleep beside me :p I rely on it to wake me up at 5 a.m. so I could prepare breakfast for my kids before they go to school. But if there's no school the next morning, the phone stays on top of a drawer further away. I turn off the recurrent alarm too to make sure I can get more zzzz's in the morning.

Before going to bed I will switch off my cell phone and put it on the small table beside my bed. My son knows very well that I usually go to bed at about 1am so he will never make any call after 12:30am.

i usually put my cellphone beside me when i go to sleep. since it's my alarm clock it has to be near me. but when i know i am lazy, i'll put it a bit far from me. so i have to stand up and turn the alarm off. that why i'll be forced to open my eyes and not go back to sleep. besides, in case of emergency that someone calls me, i can easily get the call or answer it. i don't have to look for it while it's ringing. i don't feel right when i know it's not near me when i go to sleep.

My cellphone is beside me while I am sleeping. I make it to the point that I can hear it right away so if someone calls or text I could easily respond to it. I am always alert especially in times of emergency.

I use to sleep with the mobile under my pillow but since I heard about the damages it does to your brain if you do that too often I have stop doing that and have refrain from keeping the mobile under the pillow or near my head...I leave it on top of the dresser...

Well, my mobile is resting on a shelf right above me, turned off of course. I hate it when calls awake me, and "stray" SMS messages arrive quite often too, so it would be quite moronic.

I always have my mobile under my pillow, because it rings so loud i need my pillow to hide the noise. I atleast hear it low-not making me jump in the middle of the night! It's also my alarm clock.
