Teenagers are prolific texters. But now’s there’s evidence that they are even doing it in their sleep.
It’s called sleep texting.
“It’s just what you’d think it is, it’s texting while asleep,” says Elizabeth Dowdell, nursing professor at Villanova University, “It’s exactly what is sounds like, or really more between that, you know, that area between being asleep and being awake.”
“The phone will beep, they’ll answer the text,” Dowdell says. “They’ll either respond in words or gibberish. (It) can even be inappropriate.

Dowdell says teens should get eight, nine or ten hours of sleep a night. Full story...
