    Post Relax, Turn Off Your Phone, and Go to Sleep

    Relax, Turn Off Your Phone, and Go to Sleep. I know that I am not alone but I wake up and read that damn Ipad in the middle of the night. These researchers say people that are anxious about checking their phones are less healthy:

    I don't check my phone or mail at night. The volume is typically off on my phone. Call me and don't leave a message- I block the number. Leave a message and I will get to it sometime in the future when I feel like it.

    The american phone addiction is absurd and a scourge on the country, tons of unattentive young morons, walking into traffic and getting themselves killed, walking into second floor handrails and going right over, walking into fountains and other people because they CANT GET OFF THE PHONE.

    I have fallen in love with Beat Saber. When I finally fall asleep I sleep all night.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    I think that it's positively Darwinian. They will eliminate themselves from the gene pool.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    I used to carry a phone around with me. I didnt have the cell service connected but I used to carry it around in my pocket and check it all the time using it like a computer I guess. Then one day I just took the battery out of it chucked it in a drawer, and havent looked back since. I had the wifi in my house turned off and just use the ethernet. I find that it is much better this way for me personally anyways. Personally I think the WiFi is bad for us. Although I must admit, I used to really like listening to dharma talks while falling asleep at night.
