My wife and I always argue about switching off phones(GSM)before going to bed. Once she jumps on the bed, she ll off her phone immediately. Except my phone battery is low, my phone is always ON. I have cited cases on why she needs to put ON her phone always. Our neighbour might need help in d middle of the night and they will not be able to reach her, what of if armed rubber is around and someone wants to alert you?, a friend might be in crisis and would love to call you to interceed for him or her in prayer. My wife believe that no body should disturb her sleep and that the only way to rest properly is by switching off her phone. I told her to always use bed mode or reduce the ring volume to the lowest.
Do you off your phone at night? If yes why?Is it the riight thing to do. What are the effects(positive and negative) of switching off phones before going to bed?

When there was no phone during the 90s didn't you cope so well? Nothing should disturb your peaceful sleep.
The night is meant for you to rest. I have never switched on my phone after 10pm for any reason and i have never regretted it too

It has its cons n pros..I switch it on coz someone might need my help n who knows,I might b d only person he/she can call..its very important oo..can remember an incident last year..my neighbour who is asthmatic was gradually losing her breathbreath,she couldn't shout or call for help,she dialled my number..luckily it was available, I had to rush n help her with her inhaler,I was happy dat I was able to save a life..after dat day,my phone is always on unless I hv a low ba3

Hnmmm. You are right bro but now that we have phone, it has helped us a lot, it is no longer business as usual. Unlike 90s, casualties should reduce just like the case cited by Vivaciouszz.

The phones should be put on silent rather to avoid blocking off communications.
Technology should make life more convenient.
Whenever I wake up at night, I check my phone, before throwing it under my pillow and going back to sleep.
No one knows.

The only time my phone is off is when the battry is dead.

My advice to every phone user is to leave Ur phone on at night cos trouble or need dnt giv a definit time to visit us.

U might enjoy Ur long peaceful sleep for one night, only to wake up in the morning to meet a scenario dat will deny U sleep Ur entire life.

My phone is always switched off between 11pm and 5am, for both of us to rest.

Sorry for derailing on the topic. To go to bed and not having an airtime(even one naira airtime to flash) in your phone is as risky as not switching on your phone while sleeping. The benefits are too numerous to mention. If you're in the habit of putting off your phone at night,a night of regret is on your way and u will remember my post today. You can reduce the volume, for your good and that of another that needs your help.

The only time my phone is switched off is when my battery is low. Better safe than sorry.

Absolutely!
Not interested in the world in my sleep!
YOU ALWAYS SLEEP BETTER!
