As promised, I've been restricting personal issues to my blog, but something happened last night that caused me to want to ask a general question.
My question to forum members is: Do you keep your cell phone turned on all night, or do you turn it off before going to sleep? When my mom had her final illness, I kept my phone on 24-7, in case the nursing homes or hospitals needed to call me immediately, which was the right thing for me to do, as sometimes I would get calls about her condition in the middle of the night.
Since then, for whatever reason, I've just been keeping my cell phone on at night.
My aunt the astrologer never sleeps. Sometimes, she will call me at.. 1130. or midnight.,.after I'm finished watching Jim Gardner. That doesn't bother me so much.. because I'm usually up until at least.. 12 or 1230.
Last night.. I was just about to go to sleep, and my phone rang.,. after 1 am. I was truly pissed. When the phone rings that late.. the first inclination is to think that something is terribly wrong. I wasn't fast asleep yet, but my heart stopped when the phone rang. There wasn't anything wrong with her, she was just calling.. because she never sleeps.
She doesn't get up until noon, and I'm usually up anywhere between 5 and 6am. I wasn't really able to fall back to sleep after the post 1 am phone call., so.. this morning.. I called her and left her a nasty message at 6am.
I told my dad that henceforth.. I'm going to have to turn my phone off at night, unless someone is sick.. or there's a reason for me to keep it on. He understood my position.
Sorry for the long story.. that's the general question. Do you keep your cell phone on all night? Thanks.
