When's The Last Time You Turned Your Phone Off?

I finally installed iOS 5 on my actual phone (not my dev phone) and I ended up having to reboot it.

It was then I realized I haven't turned my phone off for a couple months now. I asked my wife and she also said she never turns it off (with a puzzled look like I'm asking her a stupid question).

So how many of you turn your phone off every day, and how many never turn it off unless you have an issue come up?

I think the last time I turned mine off off was on a plane a month ago. I put mine in sleep mode a lot but I don't ever really turn it off.

I turn it off every night before I sleep, and it's on silent mode 90% of the time when it's on.

Ditto. The last time I turned it off was years back during an exam.
I reboot my phone, but hardly turn it off.

Kinda scary when you realized how long since you had your phone off completely for any amount of time (years for me). What was scarier was the fact that I realized I never was without my cellphone near with since grade 9. We are truly socially connected through technology.

Only time I've turned it off in the last I don't even know how many years is either when I'm flying or doing a battery pull for some reason.
