<p>The last thing that more than 70% of British adults do before they go to bed is check social network sites, figures show.</p>
<p>Instead of curling up with a good book before nodding off, 72% of adults check status updates on Facebook, a study conducted on behalf of Travelodge found.</p>
<p>The questionnaire, involving 6,000 adults, also found that 18% of them send a daily night-time tweet to their followers.</p>
<p>The average amount of time spent on social networks while between the sheets is 16 minutes.</p>
<p>And experts have warned the online activity performed from bed is affecting people&#8217;s sleep.</p>
<p>Sleep specialist Dr Michael Hastings, a researcher for the Medical Research Council at Addenbrooke&#8217;s Hospital in Cambridgeshire, said: &#8220;It&#8217;s having a huge negative effect on people&#8217;s sleep. Adults don&#8217;t realise what impact using computers, mobile phones and other gadgets before falling sleep is having on their night&#8217;s sleep.</p>
<p>&#8220;Being exposed to bright light from computer and mobile phone screens while in bed completely delays the brain and body&#8217;s ability to get to sleep. As a result, people are not able to get to sleep as quickly as they should and aren&#8217;t getting the required amount of sleep they need each night.&#8221;</p>
<p>The research also found that as well as social networking, a quarter of Britons do their weekly grocery shopping between the sheets.</p>
<p>One in 10 adults settles any outstanding bills online before nodding off and 35% of people catch up on the latest celebrity gossip.</p>
<p>It also found that alarm clocks are set to become obsolete, with 84% of adults now using their mobile phone to wake themselves up in the mornings.</p>
