Like seriously. About 65% of the users here say they sleep with their phone (some at least turn off things, but still). If you feel the need to sleep with your phone, maybe you should see a psychiatrist.

I have it by the side of me for the alarm. It's a double edged sword though as this means I can't put it on silent so any calls or whatnot I receive while I try to sleep I tend to hear. It doesn't help I'm a light sleeper too.

I keep my phone in the drawer in my bed that's next to my head. Only because my alarm is on it. I do not ever receive texts from people on my phone and everyone I know knows better than to call me after like eight pm unless it's an emergency.

Sorry, that you aren't important enough to have people rely on you, tc.

I leave mine on for emergencies or if someone wants to talk at 3am because they are depressed and have no one to talk to.
But situations happen often.

You might be on to something. I also sleep with my lamp. I ALWAYS use it. Leaving it for hours at night. Yes I may turn it off before I sleep but I suppose that doeant excuse the fact that I sleep with it. You know sometimes I cuddle with it. Lick the stand. Confess my love. Shove it up my ass

How old is your phone? Most alarms have separate settings where you can put on sound or vibrate and it'll still work while everything else is on silent

Poll options need updating tbh. I keep it close by because it's my alarm, not because I want to wake up to reply to every single text/notification.

I sleep with two phones besides my pillow. My old phone which is alarm 1, and my current phone which is alarm 2. Just to be safe in case I hit the alarm off and somehow doze back off.

I end up leaving mine in my purse in another room at night b/c my phone isn't a smart phone. I have a radio alarm clock on my nightstand if I want to listen to music before I go to sleep.

Yeah, as long as my phone is at least on vibrate the alarm will sound. Now if I turn it all the way down so even vibrate is off then the alarm does not sound. I just have to keep it on a folded cloth so the phone doesn't make a bunch of noise vibrating on the nightstand.

That sounds horrible. I mean, there is a reason why alarm and ring settings are separate. My phone is always on silent and I do use it for alarm

How is that "horrible"? Perhaps you misread something or your idea of "horrible" is dramatically skewed? The alarm still sounds while the phone is set to silent. It only doesn't sound when it's set to do not disturb mode, i.e. no sound and no vibration.

If someone needs to call you at 3AM to talk to you because they got their feelings hurt, maybe they shouldn't be going outside since they are too overly sensitive to handle the real world.
