(原创) Many people use their mobile phones as the and are more used to checking e-mails before sleeping. , these habits are becoming sleeping problems.
Several years ago, my boss used to stay up working on her mobile phone and got badly ill that. Now she always leaves her phone in another room And she encourages friends to do so. “I sent each of my friends the christmas gift – an alarm clock so that they could stop using their phones as the alarm clock,” she said.
If your mobile phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also be keeping you up at night. A study in 2008 showed that people in mobile phone radiation（辐射）mostly had problems. They often fall asleep very late and feel tired in the day time. And according to a Swedish study, a quarter of young people in this country feel like there must be phones around them. Most of them feel for not returning messages. So they even haveto to their friends before sleeping.
So what kind of people prefer to use mobile phones in their bedrooms? A recent study has shown that three-quarter people aged between 18 and 34 prefer to sleep with their phones near them. That number falls off a little in middle age, but only people aged 65 and are used to leaving the phone in room while sleeping.
