do you close your mobile telephone when sleeping?

i usually keep it opened, i don't like to turn it off, because if somebody calls for an important reason he/she will miss me, what is there is a problem in my mothers house, or something bad like that, she will call me, i will pick it just after ringing once, i like talking at night, may be thats why i used to leave it opened, there are a lot of friends who call me at 1 am lol,

well, i dont really turn it off, i keep it on silent mode before i sleep so that i wont get disturbed. its very irritating when someone calls you in the middle of the night, and you get disturbed from your sleep, and sometimes you find it hard to go back to sleep again!

I never close my mobile phones, I dont want to miss any emergency or urgent call. Once my dad rang me at 4 am in the morning mentioned that he just arrived and get lost trying to find my house. He didn't told me that he'll come because he said it wasn't on purpose but when the ferry arrived earlier at 3 am, He tried to find my house by himself and get lost. I am glad I didn't close my phone because if not I can't imagine my dad alone at night, lost, dont know where to go, tired and sleepy and desperately tried to contact me...

Hello sophialin. I usually turn off my cell phone when I go to sleep at night so that I won't be bothered by any incoming calls. But sometimes I forget to turn it off and it is left turned on. Good night.

I never close my mobile phone nor turn it off. For me, it is very important since I don't have a landline or home phone. I get texts, email messages and calls from my phone that's why it is very important for me!

I just keep it silent so that i would have a good sleep and when I wake up i do not miss any call. I just call them back.

Do you mean do I shut it off? No, I don't because I use it as my alarm clock. My last 2 alarm clocks have been "killed" by my cats, so its easier to have the phone in bed with me and I can check the time, charge it and have it wake me up in the morning.

in my case, i need to keep my phone open all the time. being a freelancer, i get a lot of calls from clients. and some clients, specially those who are very comfy with me, sometimes call me up way past midnight. in fact, its a necessity for me to have 2 mobile phones open all the time. thats in case the other phone is busy or is charging. c",)

I do not have a cell phone or mobile phone, but when I did have one, I plugged it in at night and unplugged it in the morning! I do see and hear people talking on their phones all day long! No matter where I go, I hear these people on their phones. I used mine for emails mostly and phone emergencies! It is neat the way things change in the way we least expect it!

I will never switch off my mobile phone no matter wat happens.. haha ^_^ Maybe it's just a habit of mine, i just find it's no point to switch off just for the 6-10hrs while i'm sleeping.. hehe

I kept it on as some of my friends had only my mobile phone number. On it in case if they have something urgent to look for me.

Nope, I don't turn it off. I always put it in silent mode when I go to sleep.

I ought to switch my phone off at night, as I have a friend who tends to send a text message whenever he feels like it, whether that be 3am or otherwise. He's woken me quite a few times now. However, I use my phone as our alarm clock and I don't quite trust it to work when it's switched off. I know that's not logical, as I know it will work providing it has enough battery, but I'd rather be safe than sorry! So I guess I just have to put up with the odd text message at 3am!

First of all is closing mobile equal to Switching off the mobile. If that is the case, I don't switch off my mobile before going to sleep. I keep it as is just in case to ensure to receive emergency calls either from friends, relatives or if that matters from office. Keep posting and have fun! cheers

No, I don't. If i'm setting an alarm, I keep it under my pillo with vibration mode on. But if I'm not I just put it beside my pillow, still on but vibrate mode if off. Simply as that. Why should I turn it off anyway.. I've never heard of such way of keeping a celphone.

I use mine as an alarm clock and so it is never switched off. If it rings though I would not hear it, if anyone texts me I would not hear it. I only just about hear the alarm clock go off on it. Plus no one ever phones me on it anyway it is always text!!

hello sophialin! i dont turn my phone off but i never place it next to me in bed i always leave it at the living room coz i dont want my sleep to be distracted except of course if my hubby is out for a business trip then i place it at the bottom of the bed. i dont mind missing any calls coz i have a voice mail and i can always call them back if it is important. i guess to those who dont have a voice mail they would leave it on and next to them coz they dont want to miss any calls. anyway, we all have our own preferences and that is mine. takecare!

i turned it on all the time untill no power. coz i don't want to miss any incoming call and use it as my alarm clock. i don't place it next to me especially put it beside my pillow. it said that it will bad to health.

I close mine before going to bed as I don't wanna pick up any calls during the night, this is the main purpose of switching it off. I would check those missed calls the next morning, having a good sleep is more important to me :)

Yes.It saves a lot of battery power.Who is going to call me in the middle of night? Plus my phone have auto off and on function.
