Could you do it?
We are ridiculously attached to our phones these days - don't deny it, we know it's true.
Well, now we have a study to totally prove it.
It's found that six in 10 adults ‘couldn’t cope’ longer than a day without their mobile phone.
The survey of 2,000 smartphone users found three in 10 never leave their house without their phone.

Around 27 per cent say they are completely reliant on their device to get to their destination, with 35 per cent admitting they've never used a printed map.
68 per cent of people use their phones for taking photos, 64 per cent for checking the time and 62 per cent rely on them to check the weather.
The study was commissioned by HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, to launch the Nokia G11 and G21 smartphones.
It also found more than one in 10 (12 per cent) admitted their phone battery dying would give them ‘anxiety’.
55 per cent claim running out of battery is a ‘nightmare scenario’.
As a result, most people charge their phones at least twice a day to avoid being caught out.
Almost half of those polled would be upset if they lost their mobile phone more than if they lost their bank card, car keys, or wedding ring.
It emerged people typically check their mobile phones 20 times a day - spending a total of two hours looking at their screens over a 24-hour period.
