I have text alerts turned off for everyone between 10 pm and 8 am.
I have my favorites set to ring through all the time if they call me. Favorites was just family, but recently I added my 2 best friends, when a friend's father died I didn't hear the call because it was at night.

Yes and I have it set the same way - family and a couple friends as favorites.

I don't because no one ever calls me at night, but DH does. Neither of us keep our phone in the bedroom at night though. We have them plugged in in the kitchen downstairs. Except for an iPod playing music in DD's room at night, our bedrooms are tech free zones when we're sleeping.

Yes. Plus, the phone is in the living room. Not taking any chances. LOL!

Currently, I have it on DND for all notifications from 11 PM to 6 AM, but I do allow all calls through.
I used to just have it allow calls from a select few people, but then my stepfather had a medical crisis and the hospital was trying to reach me in the middle of the night. So... I changed to everyone just in case.
I have only had calls come through that I didn't want in my DND hours a couple times. That's a small price to pay to be reachable if something were to happen again.

No. I keep the ringers on and the mobiles beside our beds at night. We sleep through everything except the actual ring tone of a phone call. I just don't see the point to be honest.

No. If I started having problems with junk calls during the night, I would, but that hasn't been an issue. I want to be woken up if family felt they needed to call me at night.

Yup. I have it set from 10-5 except for favorites which are family and would only call or text that late in an emergency.

It's not, because on the off chance that a teacher calls or texts me needing a sub at 5am, I don't want to miss it because that makes everyone's day so hard. I have them all in my phone book, but if they contact me from a spouse's phone I could miss an important notification.
After my mom missed the call that my dad had a heart attack and wasn't in contact for hours and hours, I have felt a need to be more accessible than less. With my dad in poor health and my FIL dealing with late stage colon cancer, I'm in a position where I don't want to miss a notification no matter who it's from.
That's the circumstance of my life today. My phone is rarely in DND for those reasons.

No, that is the main number that we use, so in an emergency, that is the number someone would call. I have finally (I think) convinced my mom NOT to text me at 330am just because she is up! My text notification goes off every 10 minutes until it is acknowledged. The phone charges across the hall in the bathroom.

I don't have a smart phone so it's either all on or all off. I keep it on so I'm available at 2:32 am just in case one of my children texts with a "I got salsa on my favorite light colored hoodie! What do I do so it doesn't set?!" emergency.  |

nope- I only set it to do not disturb when I'm at a doctor's office, etc. I don't keep my phone next to me all the time; it's usually in my purse (in the kitchen) at night. But then again, we still have a land line at our house.
eta: also, there's only a few people who would regularly be texting me anyway, and if my boyfriend is out of town on business, it's typically someplace with a different time zone, so I'd want to be able to hear from him if he needed to get in touch with me.

I wish I could turn it off but I'm the key holder for my business and have to have it on in case the alarm company or the police need to contact me. Most of my friends know I don't want to be contacted between 9pm and 9am but occasionally a rogue text gets through when the carrier has been down. One of the staff contacted me at 3 am to say she was too ill to make it to work the next morning. I was not chuffed on a number of counts. That sort of thing could have waited till 7 am.

nope. I don't have a single DND setting on it. I use it as an alarm so it stays right beside my bed. I don't have too many problems with calls or texts in the middle of the night.

I don't because no one ever calls me at night Same here - everyone that knows me, knows not to call me after 9pm unless it is an emergency. Also, I keep my phone in my purse, which is not kept in the bedroom so there is no need to turn it off or set to Do Not Disturb |

Yes. Only a handful of numbers can get through from 10p to 5a. Everyone else can and will wait until morning. Texts and other notifications are completely off. It doesn't happen often, but every now and again, a friend currently stationed on the west coast will lose their mind and call based on their time zone, not ours. If I get startled awake, it's usually hours before I am able to get back to sleep. I use that DND setting to save our friendships.

That sort of thing could have waited till 7 am.^^^ just wanted to reply to this, as someone who has also done this same thing-- I waffle about whether it's okay to do this, too, but if I'm sick I don't want to have to wake up at a 'certain' time just to email or text my supervisor- I'd rather let her know right away, then get some rest. So I'll take a chance that she won't have her phone right next to her when I text her, then go right back to bed. (especially since the reason is usually a migraine headache and sleeping it off is usually the only thing that works for me.) (now that I read this, it sounds like I value my rest over hers- which maybe I do if I'm sick- but since I don't keep my phone next to the bed all night long, I guess I've never really considered that other people do that.) |

No. My work is 24/7 and I could be called to come in if there is an emergency.
And my son is a soldier. I do not want to miss his call.

Yes. Oh God yes. DND from 8pm-8am. My sister and cousin work 3rd shift. They're always sending me texts in the middle of the damn night but on the flip side, I text them during the day. When DH was working the overnight, he'd send texts in the middle of the night too. On the other end, I have a friend who's up at 4am every day and she starts texting me. Nope. I'll answer you when I get up. Granted I'm up by 6am but I'm grumpy when a text wakes me up.

I have DND turned on between 10pm and 5am, but it is set to allow calls from the people on my Favorites list. So if DD, DH, or my parents try to call, it'll wake me up. I usually also mute the ringer, but even the sound of it vibrating on my nightstand is enough to wake me up. Yes, I'm the world's lightest sleeper.

Yes. Mine is from 10pm until 6:30am.
I started it when I was back home in Australia, and was getting messages from European friends who either didn't know I was away or forgot the time differences. I have it set so that phone calls from DH and my kids will still ring. Recently, when my SiL was seriously ill back home, I added a few others to the list, but I have taken them off now the danger has passed.
Living in a very different time zone to most of my family, many of whom forget/don't really get timezones, makes DND necessary.

No. I don't even know if my (ancient) phone has that option. I keep it in the kitchen either on the charger or in my purse. If there's an emergency, the ones who need to know have my landline number. Although, I did once get a wrong number at 2am to the landline - woke up to a hysterical drunken message on my answering machine.

My oldest DD and my work crew both sometimes randomly text in the wee hours, but it can wait until the morning. Everyone knows that if they really need me they should call. |

My phone is set to DND 99% of the time. It's on DND right now.
My phone is for my convenience.
I'll check it when I want.
The exception is if my kids are with someone else. Then it's on as loud as possible and I answer immediately.

No....I have a daughter that has 3 kids and my mom is 80. I don't get many calls to begin with and I would hate missing one of their calls because if they did call me at night then it's an emergency and they need me.
