Do you keep your Cell Phone switched ON while sleeping ??

I leave it on all the time. If I turn it off, I will forget to turn it back on in the morning.

I personally do keep my cell phone on for a couple of reasons. First, this is my main emergency number, So, if something happens and someone needs to get a hols of me, my cell number is the number that I have given to people to call. Second, and this is the most important reason that I leave my cell phone on at night, I use it as my alarm clock. I've always been paranoid about my regular alarm clock not working properly or for some reason if we were to lose power while I was sleeping, that it would mess my regular alarm clock up (this actually happened a few times). So, my phone is my back up alarm clock, just in case.

Yes I do. Of course, I do use it as my alarm clock too. The reason I have the phone on, in my bed is because if there is some reason I need to be reached because of my ailing mother, I want to be reachable.

Yes, i keep my phone all the time except when i am charging it. I think it's a good habit to keep your phone turned on as much as possible just in case, to be able to attend to emergency or something which needed attention. People at home don't seem to mind if my phone rings at the middle of the night maybe because they're already used to it and know the importance of the call or message. Mostly, calls at night are the most important calls so we shouldn't miss it.

i turn it off, it is annoying to wake up in the middle of the night , to find that one of your friends is bored and wants to play with you,or a wrong number it is just annoying...

Usually I switched off my cell phone before i go to sleep. Because usually people wouldn't have things to contact you at night. Also the radiation is more harmful while we are sleeping. Last but not the least, I need a quiet situation to have a good sleep.

i turn my cell phone off when i go to sleep.i also have a home phone that everyone knows the number,so if it's something very important they can always call my home phone.that way it also saves the battery on my cell phone and i don't have to charge it that often.

Hi, uditipanda! Yes, I have a habit of switching off the phone when I am sleeping. Actually, I tend to switch it off when I am not using it. When I have no one to talk to, I will just keep it off. I don't keep my phone on when I am sleeping, not unless I forgot all about it.

Yes, I do as it doubles up as an alarm clock for the working mornings.. I keep it on silent if I am having a lie-in

yes, i don't want be radiated. and i always take a long distance to it. i don't suffect the radiations. that will not healthy for our healthy. i don't afraid someone will disturb me when i was sleeping.

Hi Udit, a mobile phone is a device for communication. Now if I switch it off where would lie the purpose of the phone? I literally get annoyed when I am to make a call say, early morning and the already set computer says "The number you have dialed is currently switched off,please try after some time". I feel like throwing the mobile into the garbage can. I do not understand as to why people do that. I never do so. But I keep the phone in low volume.

No, I always turn mine off before I go to bed and I charge it every night, too. Nobody calls me much on my cellphone but I don't want anybody disturbing me. I just don't see any sense in keeping it on at night. That would run my battery down. Kathy.

Well it's funny that i am going to comment about this subject but here i go, i always keep my phone on however tonight at 12:15 am i somebody i know coming over, parked beside my house and stopped the car, i knew who he was. So i turned off my phone and lights. I knew he wanted to talk about his schooling problems but i couldn't take it one more time, I just had to turn off my phone. Sometimes enough is enough !!

My phone is ALWAYS on the loudest setting (unless in school or at the movies ofcorse) but i need it on while i sleep, it wakes me up and i really need to talk to the people that call me.

hello uditpanda, well i do not switch off my mobile phones during the night as i feel that someone may be need of any help in case of emergencies. well i use the mobile phone very less. and when ever i call someone or if someone calls then i make it a point to cut short the discussion as less as possible. i believe that mobiles are for emergencies and i strongly feel that unnecessary talking over the phone must be prohibited as it jams the network and people who might need the help of the phone for some urgent need might not be able to contact. i feel that the people who use phone to gossip just for the shake of fun are actually doing crime. they could use the internet for that. well i may be out of the topic but i feel that i have spoken my mind.

I had a habit of switching off my mobile but of late I stopped switching it off but dont forget to keep it at a distance from my bed. I stay away from home and feel if I switch of my mobile then my family might not be able to contact me if they need me at the middle of the night. I however avoide phones from colligues or friends late at night.I just want it to be on in case of an emergency.

I shut mine off just before I go to bed, as I don't need it at night, and it saves the battery if I don't have it on all the time. I do put it on right aaay when I get up in the morning. Since it is the only phone I have, I have to turn it on, so if my kids need to talk to me, they can get a hold of me. I really don't know what I would do without my cell phone, as I would be lost without it. And yet several years back, I told myself I would never have one lol.
