Default Bedroom True Confessions

Please Login to Remove!

Ok, true confessions time. What do you do with your Pearl when it is bed time? I'll go first.

Since I went totally wireless about three years ago, I do not have land line phones in my residence. The Pearl is it.

At night I take the Pearl to the bedroom. In there I have an AC charger USB cord strapped to the headboard so that the USB end is on the mattress. I then hook up the Pearl every night to the charger and leave the Pearl under my pillow.

In the morning the Pearl's alarm goes off if I don't wake up on my own.

Sidenote: But for all my qualities my girlfriends who have seen the Pearl set up in the BR would have thought I was nuts and dumped me in a heartbeat.

Not my Pearl, sorry for the hijack, but my 8700 sleeps right next to me most nights.

I leave mine on the Kitchen counter charging. I don't want to know what awaits me in the morning (i.e. emails, customer issues, etc...) until after I have my coffee.

Mine goes to sleep at 11 pm every night and doesn't wake up until 7 am...that way I too get my coffee. Oh, BTW, I typically only have to charge every other night.

This is a funny poll.

When I saw this title, I thought it was a spam or something.

Like San Fran, I am totally wireless and have been for 5 years. I leave mine on all night next to my bed, and charge it every other night or every two nights depending on my daytime usage. In general, I sleep through calls and messages during the night, so I don't mind leaving it on. My work phone is also on, and I usually wake up if that phone rings.

Is there an advantage to putting the device to "sleep?"

8700 on the floor next to bed. in silent mode. but have the alarm set to wake me up in the morning. Roll over check that the auto-gen emails from our servers have come in overnight and re-laxxxx - I know the IT kit is generally likely to be up and running...

I didnt see anything for me to vote on but I use the on/off timer to reset the Pearl everynight and it charges on a shelf in the living room.

With the title I thought it was going to be asking who took nudie pics or sound clips in the bedroom.
