You, who sleep with your cell phone next to you…

Yes, we like to sleep with our phones next to us. No, don't deny it, we all do it. Whether it's under our pillow or on the bedside table, we all (or well, almost all of us) leave our phones close to us. Why? Some will say that it's to know what time it is, or because they have set the alarm and they have to get up early tomorrow. But if it's not for that reason... then why?

Well, it's very simple: because we need to be connected. At all times. Or, at least, feel like we are, because nobody goes on Facebook while sleeping, unless they're sleepwalking. But it's also true that there are more and more people whose main work tool is the Internet, and, therefore, they can't stop thinking about that blog or social network that depends on them and that absorbs them so much. The same happens with those who, even though they work in another sector, can't help but browse the web or play their favorite games while they wait for sleep to come... without knowing that that is precisely what they won't be able to achieve if they keep holding the screen in their hands.

A study warns us of the dangers of falling asleep with our phones next to us. It keeps us awake too late (or later than we would like), and the blue light from screens, even when they are turned off or blocked, can interrupt our sleep cycle. In addition, we must also bear in mind that prolonged exposure to various radiations can cause problems such as headaches or insomnia, according to This report.

There's no need to be paranoid now. Even if we turn off our phones or leave them in the dining room when we go to sleep, there are countless other devices running at the same time. So it's best to try to keep our phones a little further away from our heads (literally and metaphorically speaking), and start to worry more about our sleep cycle.
