Off to bed – to text, eat, chat, watch TV

The bedroom is just as likely to be used for eating, texting and watching TV as sleeping these days, according to a survey.

As many as 14 per cent of people – and 48 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds – eat in bed, while 41 per cent play with new technology. Also, 36 per cent watch TV in bed and 32 per cent talk on the phone, the poll found.
