Your morning begins with your smartphone alarm ringing. You hit play on your favourite song, maybe Amy Winehouse’s “Valerie”, Elton John's "Bennie And The Jets" or some Bruno Mars "Blinding Lights" to help get you moving for the day ahead.

You get to work and tuck your phone away, but keep it running to check it throughout the day. Like most Canadians, you’re likely using an Android or Apple device.
