SEATTLE – Doctors are seeing more cases of sleep deprived patients who are sleep texting.
Sleep expert Dr. Marcus Schmidt tells WTHR-TV that sleep deprivation can trigger common motor behaviors during sleep, including reaching for the phone when it goes off. Schmidt suggests keeping your cell phone away from the bed while you are sleeping, maybe even in another room.
Schmidt admits the phenomenon is new, so there isn’t a lot of empirical data to go with it.
We want to hear from you. Have you discovered that you’ve texted in your sleep?
