Alarming new research has found that one third of young women check Facebook before going to the toilet or brushing their teeth in the mornings.
One in five even said they woke up in the middle of the night to respond to wall postings, tweets and texts, while 37 per cent have fallen asleep with their phones in their hands, according to the study of 1600 American social media users by Oxygen Media.
Despite 63 per cent of respondents using Facebook for networking, nearly half said they had no problem posting photos of their drunken selves on the site.
The research was revealed in a story on the news.com.au website.
