Sleep Texting?
I think I have officially heard it all. Using mobile applications or texting in the middle of the night is really pushing it though. Are we that connected and attached to our devices that there is even a chance that we will use them in the middle of the night? Sleep-disorder specialists are reporting that sleep-texting, which a person may perform several times over the course of a single night, is an alarming trend. Apparently this happens more than I thought. And it can definitely be more embarrassing than anyone can imagine. Modern technologies like smartphones have a pervasive influence on modern life, especially among younger users, who may be particularly susceptible to "smartphone addiction." And use of smartphones, computers, video games and other technologies has been linked to pervasive sleep disorders, including insomnia. To ward off sleep-texting, experts recommend shutting devices down completely before going to bed or, in extreme cases, moving the cellphone out of the bedroom entirely. But you might say that we live in a 24/7 world and that is just not a reality. Would you be able to completely turn your phone off?
