Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray my phone, it does not beep.
I can’t take more bad news today,
Please make the world just go away.
—Pearls Before Swine
That put a smile on my face and made my day.

Cute! My answer to that would be just to put the phone in another room at bedtime.
🙂
Very cute! We turn ours off when we go to bed. But we do have a land line. Do you?
We have a landline and let our answering machine answer it.
That made my Dave laugh out loud. I have my phone set to Do Not Disturb from 10 pm until noon so it doesn’t ring during those hours. But, that poem also made me remember the days when Dave would be on call 24 hours a day and our land line would ring in the middle of the night. I taught him to go downstairs if he was actually going to talk. 🙂
We don’t have a smart phone and our answering machine takes care of our land line.
I just recited that poem to my wife and we both laughed.
But I turn my phone off at night.
We don’t have a smart phone and don’t want one. 🙂
my phone is my “watch” and “alarm clock”
but I have it in sleep mode from around 10pm – 7.30ish…
I think most people do, but it was a fun comic.
That’s really cute. I rarely hear any notifications coming in once I fall asleep
We don’t even have a smart phone. 🙂
sad but TRUE! and I love the author name. Pearls before swine has me laughing out loud….. the odd thing is, it is not the phone, it is the person who owns the phone that allows it to control their life. it does have an off button
Yes. 🙂
I like it.

I rarely get unpleasant news via text, but still can’t resist checking — no matter the hour.
We don’t have smart phones and only use our flip phones to text one another or Kaitlin. I do a lot of email.
