Now I've got a smart phone and a laptop it's even worse. They can and do go anywhere with me including to bed!
Every night it's the same. I try to get myself off to bed by 11ish and then I think I'll just check my mail one last time! And then I'll just write one more tweet! And then I'll just look at Facebook....!
Fatal. Before I know it - it's past midnight and I'm starting to wake up. And I only finally get to sleep at 1 with the laptop shoved on the floor by the bed. And then I sleep badly and wake up grumpy. Hmmmm.
I really love a good night's sleep. Getting into bed before I'm exhausted and gently dropping off just feels great. So I am taking up arms against myself and my gadget addiction.
I wrote a list of 5 reasons I love sleep and 5 reasons gadgets aren't good at bedtime. Whenever I am tempted by one more tweet I will fight back with why it's a bad idea. And then I will switch everything off and go to bed.
I'll let you know how I get on.
Note to self: Nothing beats waking up after a great night's sleep!
Did you know? Good sleep reduces your risk of heart disease. Doctors aren't sure why, but they think a well rested heart reduces blood pressure and inflammation of the heart.
