Do you feel off or have separation anxiety if you forget your mobile phone ? Well you are not alone, over the last four years there have been many studies and articles on the condition known as, "Nomophobia"

Taken from Wikipedia:
Nomophobia is the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.^[1][2][3] The term, an abbreviation for "no–mobile-phone phobia",^[4]
was coined during a study by the UK Post Office who commissioned
YouGov, a UK-based research organisation to look at anxieties suffered
by mobile phone users. The study found that nearly 53% of mobile phone
users in Britain tend to be anxious when they "lose their mobile phone,
run out of battery or credit, or have no network coverage". The study
found that about 58% of men and 48% of women suffer from the phobia, and
an additional 9% feel stressed when their mobile phones are off. The
study sampled 2,163 people. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed cited
keeping in touch with friends or family as the main reason that they got
anxious when they could not use their mobile phones.^[5][2]
The study compared stress levels induced by the average case of
nomophobia to be on-par with those of "wedding day jitters" and trips to
the dentists.^[6]
Ten percent of those questioned said they needed to be contactable at
all times because of work. It is, however, arguable that the word
'phobia' is misused and that in the majority of cases it is only a
normal anxiety.^[7]

The Daily Mail did an article in May 2012

Andy Kemshall, co-founder of SecurEnvoy,
said: 'The first study into nomophobia, conducted four years ago,
revealed that 53 per cent of people suffered from the condition and our
study reveals this has now risen to 66 per cent in the UK and shows no
sign of abating.

'A reversal on the 2008 findings is that, back then, it was men that were more afflicted yet today it's women.

'I'd
be inclined to draw the conclusion that, perhaps because more men have
two phones, they're less likely to misplace both and therefore be left
phone-less.'
