A new study found we touch our phones an average of 2,617 times a day.  That includes every single touch, tap, and swipe . . . so if you’re texting, every letter you press counts as a touch. And the 10% of us who use our phones the most touch them 5,427 times a day. The study also found we use our phones 76 times a day, which is about five times an hour.  And we’re using them for a total of two hours and 25 minutes. And finally, 87% of us sometimes check our phones in the middle of the night. I DO use my phone a lot! However, I do not check my phone in the middle of the night! I sleep bad enough as it is, I don’t need a good Facebook meme waking me up even more!
