Please humour me and take this poll:

[specialmama]

My dh and I were having a discussion in which he says he has never met anyone but me who slept (with or without) their watch on. I'm not saying which I do, lest I somehow skew results. I answered: gosh, have you slept with all of the population? ;) How do you know these things? Maybe I'm normal and joined by the masses? The only way to solve this silly thing is to do a poll!

 

SO... please answer if you sleep with or without your watch on, and please also answer if your spouse does (or doesn't) and gosh, I thank you! :001_smile:

[bluemongoose]

I do not have a watch at this time...neither does DH. However, when I did, I did sleep with it on most nights. I didn't sleep with it on in the summer.

[jonesloonybin]

I do not wear a watch. DH wears one but not to sleep. He will usually take it off as soon as he is home for the night.

[Impish]

Neither of us own a wrist watch.

[Aurelia]

Neither of us wear a watch.

[melissel]

Neither of us wear our watches to sleep at night (I'm lucky to make it through the whole day with mine on!). But mainly, I'm :smilielol5: at your potential "other" scenarios :lol:

[Crissy]

Neither my husband nor I wear a watch.

I do recall that my dad wore (probably still wears) a watch, but would remove it as soon as he got home from work. It rested in a dish that also contained his keys, mints and spare change from his pockets.

[usetoschool]

I never have because I sleep with my arm under my head, but my dad always slept with his watch on. My husband doesn't wear a watch.

[johnandtinagilbert]

don't regularly wear a watch, but when I do, I take it off.

 

Dh doesn't wear a watch either, but ditto on taking it off for bed.

[LauraGB]

I sleep with the side of my face on my hands, and having a watch digging into my face would nevery fly. I also think having something around my wrist while I'm trying to sleep would drive me crazy. Besides, I have a clock on the bedside table.

Dh doesn't have a watch (maybe he does, I really don't know), but if he did, he wouldn't wear it anyway.

[Year Round Mom]

I have two alarms set on my watch; one for bedtime and one for waketime. I hardly ever go to bed or rise when one rings, however!

 

:tongue_smilie:

 

Also, before I got PRK done to my eyes, I couldn't read an alarm clock by my bed. But I could read my indiglo watch by putting it close to my face. I still wear it out of habit, I guess.

 

DH hardly ever wears a watch.

[kpupg]

I chose Other, as neither of us wears a watch these days.

 

And back in the day ... before cell phones ... we wore watches and always removed them before bedtime.

 

Karen

[JustGin]

I have needed to replace the battery in my watch for about two years, so I don't wear one right now, but when I do, I always take it off before bed as does my dh. I do have to have a clock or some other means of telling time close by because when I wake up in the night I MUST know the time. Not sure why, but there it is. :)

[Mrs Mungo]

I voted that I don't sleep with my watch on. I even take off my wedding rings because I've scratched dh in my sleep in the past. However, I *do* sleep with my watch on when he's not here. This is because I have terrible eyesight. When he's here I can poke him and make him tell me the time. :D

[ncmomo3]

I must wear my watch at all times...must. I just can't emphasize that enough. :D

[myfunnybunch]

I voted Other. (Sorry. ;) )

 

My husband would sleep with his watch on. He used to sleep with his watch on. But the face glows in the dark and it really bothers me. He no longers sleeps with his watch on, but he would if the face didn't glow or I didn't care.

 

I don't wear a watch.

 

Cat

[Tutor]

I chose yes for me and other for my dh. He has a watch but hasn't used it for a few years since getting his cell phone. He just checks his cell when he wants to know the time.

[chaik76]

Neither my dh nor I sleep with our watches on so I said no for both of us...however, when I actually owned a watch:D I did sleep in it. I just use my cell phone as my "watch" now...and I don't sleep with that!

[Allearia]

I wear a watch at all times. I only take it off to shower, then it goes right back on. I can't stand to be without one. Also, my clock next to the bed is too bright and I need to cover it so it can't sleep. (I keep it there because it has a white noise making function that I can't sleep without.) I am quite neurotic about my watch and being on time!

 

My husband never wears a watch and it drives.me.insane. I just can't understand it.

[Dawn in OH]

I haven't worn a watch in years. My husband rarely wears one. Neither of us slept with our watches on when we did wear them.

[elise1mds]

I must wear my watch at all times...must. I just can't emphasize that enough. :D

 

Me, too! I feel totally weird with it off. Mine's waterproof, so it even stays on in the shower. DH takes his off for shower and sleep.

[hornblower]

I don't wear a watch at all anymore but when I did, I took it off.

Dh takes his off.

[BikeBookBread]

My DH sleeps with his watch on...kind of bugs me because I bump into it sometimes. I think it's unusual, but hey, it's his wrist :tongue_smilie:

[gardening momma]

I wear my watch all day, every day, but I take it off at night. If I take a nap, I'll sometimes keep it on.

[lionfamily1999]

:lol: No watches here.... so I answered other.

 

I think if either of us ever slept with our watches on we wouldn't have lost enough watches to make it so we don't even try to own them anymore...

[WiseOwlKnits]

I answered other. Neither DH nor I wear a watch. Gosh, I haven't worn a watch since I was in school! And DH hasn't worn a watch in the 10 years we've been together.

[Daisy]

Neither of us have a watch and would never sleep with it on, if we did have one.

[Heidi @ Mt Hope]

I don't have a watch and dh doesn't wear his very often (definitely not to bed :) ).

[Haiku]

We don't wear watches. If I did, I would not sleep with it on.

 

Tara

[RoughCollie]

I don't wear a watch, but when I did, I did not sleep with it on.

 

DH takes off his watch when he goes to bed.

 

So I answered other and no sleep w/watch.

[Danestress]

Or any other jewelry - almost ever. Every once in a while I wear a wedding band, but I just don't like how it feels. My DH does not sleep in his watch.

[Ibbygirl]

I never wear a watch. Don't know why, I just never have. Dh used to wear a watch when we were dating and in our early years of marriage. He used to take it off when he went to bed and put it on the nightstand. I think I must have rubbed off on him though because now he never wears a watch anymore.:tongue_smilie:

[Denisemomof4]

neither of us do. :001_smile:

[Susan in KY]

But I know someone who doesn't have a wrist, and that would have been a much better reason.:tongue_smilie: She gets half off on manicures. Every cloud has a silver lining.:001_huh:

[newlifemom]

Dh sleeps with his watch on. When I have had a working watch, I did not.

[jenL]

Neither of us own a wrist watch.

 

:iagree: However, when we did, we used to take ours off before bed. I don't like sleeping with any jewelry on except my engagement/wedding rings.

[JoyfulMama]

I answered other. I've never slept with a watch on - but I tend to sleep with my glasses on. I don't like to not be able to see the clock either. Might be a better idea to wear a watch though! :lol: Then I can take off the glasses!

[Laurie4b]

Sometimes I sleep with it on and sometimes sleep with it off. Depends on if it's bothering me a bit or not.

[athena1277]

Other. I used to sleep with my watch on. Especially when I had babies who were up at night feeding. That indiglo was really helpful in a dark room to know what time it was. When my last watch died, I didn't bother to replace it. I just grab my cell phone out of my pocket to check the time now.

[Guest aquiverfull]

I answered other, since neither me nor my dh wear a watch.

[SproutMamaK]

Neither of us even own a watch, let alone wear it to bed. We usually have our cell phones on or near us, and use them to tell the time if we're on the go.

[Riceballmommy]

I don't wear a watch. I wore one for maybe a year in middle school, I think I took it off when I slept though.

[Guest Katia]

I had to vote Other. I am allergic to metals, so don't wear a watch.

 

Even back-in-the-day when I wore one to work (coated my wrist with either hydrocortizone cream or vaseline to make it though the day) it came off as soon as I got home.

 

So, no, I've never slept with a watch on.

 

HOWEVER.......while dh does not normally sleep with his watch on, if we are at a hotel, camping, or staying over at someone's house, he will sleep with it on; either just to keep track of the time and/or to use it as an alarm clock.

[jensway]

Neither of us owns a watch nor wears one to bed.

[Sasharowan]

When I wore a watch, I slept with it on. Dh has never worn one, so i don't know if he would sleep with it. We both use cell phones for time now, so sleep with them next to our beds.

[IsabelC]

I don't have a watch, but when I did I never slept with it in. Neither does dh and neither does anyone else I know of. Not saying there is anything wrong with wearing a watch to bed, but why would you when it's uncomfortable and there's no need.

[kitten18]

I sleep with my watch on.

DH takes his off before bed.

 

 

I didn't used to sleep with a watch on. I started to when DS was an infant and I would get up to nurse him during the night and sometimes sleep with him in the bed in his room and I couldn't see a clock.

 

DH would like to buy me a "nice" watch but then I wouldn't be able to wear it to bed/in the shower, so I keep wearing this timex ironman watch. :tongue_smilie:

[sassenach]

Neither one of us wears a watch. Our cell phones have taken the place of both our watches (which I always hated anyway) and our alarm clocks.

[TMc]

We have watches, she doesn't wear hers to bed and I haven't worn mine in about 4-5 years.

[Carrie12345]

When I used to wear a watch, I slept with it on. I no longer wear a watch.

 

Dh sometimes wears a watch. He takes it off to go to sleep.

 

And your PM box is full. :tongue_smilie:
