i am just wondering, do you guys turn off your mobile phones when you go to sleep at night? i know a lot of people who does to avoid disturbance while at sleep. i don't for there might be emergency calls or messages and i need to answer it ASAP. how about you, do you turn it off or is it on when you go to sleep?

Well, sometimes I turned it off because my husband is upset when his sleep will be disturbed in the middle of the night when the cellphone rings. He has having a hard time going back to sleep once he s disturbed. Me too I am irritated when phone keeps on ringing and I am sleepy/ So, I have decided to turn it off at night.

I leave my cell phone on. We no longer have a landline phone. Sister has a cellphone, Boyfriend has a cellphone, I have a cellphone so we all decided we didn't need a house phone. So I leave my phone on for the same reason you gave - emergency calls. Fortunately, I've had only a couple prank calls late at night, other than that, I've had no disturbances whatsoever.

Turned on?? Poor cell phone it not only stays on but keeps playing music all night even though no one's listening. I plug my earphones and listen to music every night while I sleep. And by the time I wake up...the phone would have turned off by itself. It would have been completely charged during night and its battery drained by morning. Hope they soon find a software which turns off by itself after recognizing no one's listening anymore.

No, I don't. I don't usually turn off my phone unless I'm in a really important meeting. Besides, my cellphone kind of doubles up as my alarm clock so it would be counter-productive to turn it off, right? I usually just place my call and message tones on vibrate so I won't be too easily bothered if someone calls or texts at the middle of the night.

Back when I had a cell phone, I left it on 24/7. Since I had to cut back on expenses, that was a luxury I had to give up.

Believe me, next time I break down on my paper route, I'll really miss it being it usually happens on a backroad and I have to hike at least a mile to the nearest house.

hi there, i totally agree with you that it would be better to turn it on 24/7 for we really don't know that there might be emergencies at night. :)

no, i dont turn my cell phone off. because my job is a very demanding work and then my boss and other subordinates would just call me even if i am sleeping because of very important matters. I know it is a disruption to my sleep but it is a demand of my work

i keep my phone turned on all the time except when charging so basically i keep it on when i'm sleeping. it's pretty convenient since you can use the phone as your alarm clock or maybe for emergency reasons i think it's best to keep your phone turned on.

Hi princess,
No, I do not sleep with my cellphone still turned on.
I always switch off my phone before I go to bed - unless I have forgotten.
Since I am supposed to sleep, why let my sleep be disturbed by radiation or possible incoming messages or calls?

i keep 2 mobile phone lines- one for work and one for personal.. my personal number is always on, while the work number is kept off on my weekend day-off.. sometimes if i want to have a good night rest, i turn off my work phone at night (but never the personal phone)..

Do you unplug your house phone at night? Lol my cell is my only phone. I keep it on in case of a family emergency, or if work is calling to say I'm an hour late. Plus its my alarm in the morning.
