9 struggles of bringing your phone to bed

Can’t live with it, can’t live without checking it every seven minutes.

IF YOU’RE A smartphone user, chances are you find it tough to resist the lure of bringing it to bed with you.

So much delicious social media to ingest, so much news to catch up on, so many long reads to pore over.

It’s not without its struggles though…

Challenging charging

You want, nay NEED to do 1-4 hours of Twitter/Facebook/Instagram browsing in bed, maybe catch up on a few dozen YouTube videos, but you’re at 14%.

CURSE YOU GODS OF SHORT PHONE CHARGING CABLES!

Bounce, bounce bounce bounce

You know when you throw your phone onto you bed and it bounces right off into the wall/onto the floor.

Hard times.

Updating your phone at bedtime is a rookie mistake.

A less common struggle, but a struggle nonetheless.

Did I set it?
I’m almost certain I did.
But what if I forgot?
Sure it’s right there on the bedside locker, I’ll just chec… OH HI INSTAGRAM.

Cue another 47 minutes on your phone.

Bedroom of blinding lights

Instead of being in a cosy, dark oasis of calm, your face is illuminated like Beyoncé at Madison Square Garden.

Counting sleep

As you click on yet another story on DailyEdge.ie you glance at your clock…

JEEPERS.

Ok, if I go to sleep now I can get 7 hours of sleep.

Six articles later….

Ok, if I go to sleep now I can get 6 hours 20 minutes of sleep.

An hour of Twitter after that…
