Other Have you fallen asleep on TOP of your iPhone, or put it under your pillow when you sleep?

Of course. It’s pretty rare, but accidental naps and drunken nights happen. It’s never done any damage though.

I have an iPhone 13, this crossed my mind recently. I have a habit of falling asleep with the phone in my hands, while I'm watching something or grab it to turn the alarm off, and invariably I wake up with it under me (usually on my side). Although I'm light, I wonder if the pressure of the weight can be an issue? In the past I used to put my iPhones under my pillow as I slept, so the alarm would be louder for me. I never seemed to have issues. How many of you also have a habit of doing this?

Lol, that is pretty interesting that you fall asleep with it in your hand, I begin to doze off with it in my hand sometimes but I always get up as it drops or something to then put it on my nightstand, but a few times after a night of bit of boozing I have managed to fall asleep with it in my bed and waking up on top of it. There’s been times where I have fallen asleep with the clothes I went out in with the iPhone in my pocket and I wake up sleeping on top of it in my pocket and never been an issue.

Then again I am on a Pro Max, they have steel frames so doubt it badly affects them if at all, the frame is incredibly strong.

Not sure how good of an idea it is to do that on the aluminum iPhones, but it sounds like yours has been perfectly fine.

Of course.

Honestly though my 12 mini sleeps on the pillow beside mine just like Sledgehammer would sleep with his pistol on its own pillow.

I have depression so I no longer take my phone to bed with me. I used to but I’d often spend hours on it instead of sleeping and then spend hours on it in the morning instead of getting up for the day. I’d even be late for work because of it. When I did that I’d sometimes wake up with my phone beside my head having it fall out of my hand in my sleep. Now I charge my phone in my den overnight and only sleep in my bed. It’s honestly changed my life because it forces me out of bed when I want to use my phone.

Interesting, we have a very similar experience. It wasn't the main thing keeping me up late (plenty of other screens for that, which I now avoid before bed with books instead), but it was severely impacting the start to my day. I'd rely on it to "wake up", both with the obvious alarm clock function but also with an unhealthy amount of scrolling before I could drag myself out of bed. My wife suggested it might be becoming a problem, and I initially resisted with the justification that I needed the alarm... so we just bought an alarm clock. Now the phone stays in another room while I sleep, and I'm up and out of bed with the first sound of the alarm clock. It's been a few months now, and I'm getting much more productive, healthier starts to my day, and at an earlier time too.

I'm sure this sounds silly to a lot of people for various reasons, but the simple switch to an alarm clock and keeping my phone in another room at night has vastly improved the quality of my sleep and as a result my mental health.

Our phones stay downstairs in the lounge when we go to bed, no particular reason that’s just the way it is.

Do you have a landline?
