Ring, ring, ring! Phone call, phone call!

I finally got a smartphone last November and it lives on its charger near my bed.

But when I got to bed, it goes on silent.  I like my sleep.

Technically I sleep next to 2 cell phones - my old one is permanently plugged is and it's my alarm clock.

My new one goes on my nightstand (charging if needed), just so it's nearby and I know where it is. The only person that texts me mostly is my hubby, so I don't have to worry about it going off in the night. If I got any calls, they would be emergency calls. Also we have no home phone, so our cells are our main phones.

I just keep my cell phone off and just turn it on when I need to. I like to be mysterious.

My phone is my alarm too, so I put it over the other side of the room so I am forced to get up to turn it off! and its far enough away I don't wake with calls or texts thru the night. sometimes

Like its been said before, my phone is also my alarm clock.
And i got this crazy addiction where I browse through the daily mail and 9gag when I actually have to go to sleep :p

my cellphone is my alarm clock, since my other alarm got abducted by my brother.
so yeah. always by me.

My phone is pretty basic because I am not that into phones or being glued to it 24/7.   I swear people are way too dependent on their phones.  Put them down and have a face to face conversation.  Anyway it's usually my mom or people wanting money calling so yeah rather not have a phone but I need it every now and then.

I do keep my phone by my bed and it used to be on but my mom did not seem to understand I work nights and do not like calls at 8am the next morning.  I go to bed at 2am some times.  8am is too early for me.  So yeah my phone is still by my bed but it is kept silent so I can try to get some sleep.

[Loa]

I actually do, as I get phone calls from Mods & Admin!!

I keep my phone on my bed-side table at night. I have to, because I go to bed pretty early and sometimes, a colleague or my boss has to reach me while I'm already asleep. They know it's only for emergencies, though, so I only get woken up very occasionally.

As an amusing aside, when I had my first phone I could go online with, the default setting was that it would alert me every time something happened on Facebook... and I've got a lot of friends who're awake while I'm sleeping. It was a fun time until I figured out how to switch that off.

Mine is my alarm clock, and my go to for news. I also use it to check emails and need to keep up with all my online sales. I rely on my phone a lot. I have an iPhone 5s so it does pretty much everything I need to and I use it to post on the arena too. I am also an Instagram addict

[Hervoyel]

I probably ought to keep my phone closer, but I have the bad habit of leaving in my purse overnight, so it's usually not in the bedroom with me.

I don't know that it's a bad thing to miss late night texts and calls though - 90% of those aren't emergencies, so I'm fine with getting to sleep through that.

I keep my mobile with me at all times because well I am pretty much messaging my bf all day everyday as we are so far apart (UK for me Sweden for him). Atm I am getting a break from my mobile though because im in Sweden with him atm. So no more messaging from me well except the odd ones to friends and family but thats nothing compared to usual. I actually went out on Friday for the whole day without my mobile
