Checking Email in Bed

I use the Gmail app on my phone. Theoretically I have a limit of 30 minutes per day on it—but I pretty easily ignore that when prompted. Checking email on my phone is more compulsive than useful and I feel better when I keep it in check.

While I’m on my mini-sabbatical I have my work account toggled off on the app. I’ve got a nice vacation responder up and truly don’t have anything I need to worry about in that inbox. Any real emergency would be able to reach me via phone call or text.

Tell me why then a few nights ago at 10:30 at night I was looking at my work email while lying in bed.
