A bedside arm for mobile phone. No more uncomfortable phone holding for bedtime youtube session.
Same. It has really helped my neck, too. I used to need to prop myself up on a pillow so that my arms wouldn't fall asleep. Now, it's no problem.
Your physiotherapist and your sleep doc will both agree that watching or reading your phone in bed is a bad idea.
You may rock out a rebuttal that sounds like "I know driving drunk is bad but I need to", or so, but your bed is for sleeping and sometimes play-dates.
Cool, except I have one room that I rent so the bed is really the ony option as far as relaxing goes. If the physiotherapist and sleep doc want to pitch in and help me buy a house I'm more than happy to switch to a couch though.
People hate drunk drivers bc they put other people's lives at risk. This is vastly not the same lol
Who needs to rebut you? Your over the top nannying will just go unheeded.
I'm sure that generally that is true, but my brain tends to pick something from a show, movie, song, and play it on repeat for the entire time I'm asleep. This results in me having terrible sleep. I play a show or movie as I'm falling asleep and this doesn't happen. I usually fall asleep within 5 minutes. When I have a decent amount of sleep 6+ hours, I wake up refreshed using this method.
Again, I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying there may be exceptions like mine.
I did not downvote you, because I don't downvote people who are trying to have conversations/discuss topics.
Related to the use of an articulating arm for watching in bed, it was amazing when my neck and back were hurt and I needed to lay totally flat for a few days.
So many people who want to play farmville in bed.
Hey. That's between you and your doctor if you're an adult and can make your own healthy choices. You can, right?
Yep this is correct. People are downvoting you because they don't like to acknowledge their bad habit.
People are too engrossed with their phones in general, and keeping on staring at one when you go to bed is the cherry on top of a day's bad habit indulgence. Of course if you are just resting in bed and looking at the phone temporarily it's not as bad as using the phone while you're supposed to be going to sleep at night.
