And some weeknights, if I hit up an indoor cycling class or met a friend for drinks, I wouldn't get home until 9 p.m.-and then I'd stay on my phone for 30 minutes to wrap up anything I missed during the day. Sorry, I'm human! I used Friday and Saturday nights as a free pass, since I didn't have work the next day. Truth be told, I didn't tuck my phone into bed by 9 p.m. In the following article, you will learn why you are better off putting your phone out of reach when you sleep, and what you can do to reduce its negative. And I just started calling my mom before I put my phone to bed to make sure we could chat. Overall, it wasn't a huge problem-I just let friends and family know, and made sure to get back to people in the morning. I opened it up and could see through my phone bed it was my mom calling-so, naturally, I made an exception and took a call at 9:45 p.m. Another night, after I put my phone to bed, I heard it vibrating in the kitchen cupboard. I texted her first thing the next morning and let her know that I'd put my phone to bed.
I woke up one morning to a few semi-urgent texts from a friend, sent at 9:15 p.m. One issue I did face with putting my phone to bed each night: People still text and call after 9 p.m.
