But the most concerning consequence is one few people think about: heat accumulation. Phones running multiple apps, charging overnight, or receiving constant notifications can warm up significantly. While rare, overheating incidents have been documented, especially when the device is covered by a blanket or pillow. Beyond discomfort, this can pose an unnecessary fire risk many never expect.

Then there are privacy concerns. Sleeping next to a 2-in-1 device means sleeping beside a constantly active microphone, camera, and data transmitter. Nighttime apps, accidental taps, or unsecure settings can leave your personal information exposed. It’s a small but real reminder that these devices are always on, always listening, and always collecting information.

Experts recommend keeping your phone at least an arm’s length away at night. Use “Do Not Disturb” mode, dim the screen, or place it on a bedside table instead of the bed. Small changes like these help protect your sleep quality, your health, and your peace of mind.

In a world where technology follows us everywhere, learning how to set boundaries—especially at night—can make a bigger difference than most people imagine. After all, your bedroom should recharge you, not your devices.
