Sleeping with your cell phone
It seems that sleeping with your cellphone on the bed-side table is common. I thought it was only the habit of teenagers, and the parents of late-night teenagers, but apparently not. There is also some interesting data about how attached people are to their phones (willing to snatch it from the mouth of a rat? — who thinks up these questions).
More Men than women sleep with their cell phone
According to a study commissioned by the folks Windows Mobile, and carried out by research firm Ipsos Reid, three in ten Canadian cell phone owners say they sleep with their phone beside their bed at night. For reasons that might never be clear to any of us, men (36%) are more likely than women (24%) to say that their cellphone rests next to their bed at night.

I read the rat question out loud to the other people in the terminal room with me (I’m at a conference at the moment) and a couple of them actually spluttered what they were drinking in laughter.
