Dr Cunnington said cases of sleep emailing were more common, and were likely to have a moredetrimentaleffect on the lives of sufferers.
He said: 'Emails can be sent to work colleagues and have much more serious consequences, whereas text messages are more likely to beaccidentallysent to a friend or family member, so people aren't as likely to complain of a problem.'
Dr Cunnington described sleep texting as the result of people having too much to do during waking life.
He explained: 'People are doing so much during a normal day that it can mean that they feel like they're "on call" even at night.
'Because it's so easy to receive emails constantly, and get notifications from smartphones, it becomes more difficult for us to separate our waking and sleeping lives.'
Dr Cunnington said people struggling to get a quality night's sleep should keep their phones out of the bedroom.
'The key point is that people need to respect their sleep, and make an effort to switch off at night.'
