If you turn off your phone, you miss being woken at 3am with a state wide Amber alert for a child missing on the other side of the state.

I don't take my phone into the bedroom before I go to sleep put it charging in the livingroom. I used to have a TV too but we took it out of the bedroom. I sleep much better than I used too.

When I was still working for my old paper, I had to leave mine on, and answer it. Our production people sometimes called about ad layouts in the middle of the night. Now I leave the sound down all the time, unless I'm waiting for a doctor to call (old people problems).

I used to keep my phone one silent 24/7, until I started using my phone for work and had a child.

Can't say I've ever received a call in the middle of the night that wasn't an emergency.

No, i charge it and put it on Do Not Disturb but let it vibrate because once in a while I get a callout from work.

Never understood this, what difference does it make if you find out someone has died at 2:00AM vs 8:00AM. My mom died at around !:00Am, I let people sleep, and started calling at 8:00AM in the morning.

11 years ago, my mom called at 3am because my dad was dying. I got to the hospital before he died. I never would’ve forgiven myself if I missed that call. I put my phone on do not disturb at night, but have it set so my contacts can call. I don’t get any text or app alerts at night.

I get calls from work in the middle of the night occasionally so I have to leave mine on unfortunately.

My phone is also my alarm.
