Why do folk do this? Sorry, do you switch data and WiFi off every night but leave your phone on? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't allow notifications from the apps you have and your bizarre nightly switch off will be one less thing to worry about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on silent though, as it is at all times, so no annoying notifications. And I'm also on it last thing at night (I write this while in bed) and first thing in the morning, because I'm a straight up mobile phone addict. Yeah I’m the exact same. I find switching off your wifi and 4G every night before bed more bizarre than just putting it on silent tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 What mentalist turns off data and wifi every night instead of just putting their phone on silent? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 I turn the Wifi off at the plug overnight, as well as on my phone. It's part of my nightly routine. Knowing these things are done sort of helps mentally in unwinding. I then read for a bit in bed before going to sleep. Anyway, there are folk who leave notifications/sound/Wifi/data on and get could, and do, get notifications at any time through the night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine silences all notifications unless "close contacts" calls twice within 15 mins and then it rings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SANTAN Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 For some reason my work is giving away PTO, something to do with a surplus of allowance and we could apply without it coming off of our annual allotment. Just got the next 7 days in a row. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my phone for an alarm to wake me up in the morning so leave it plugged in on charge. Silent mode and face down so it wouldn't wake me up. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Turning your wifi off at the wall before bed is the behaviour of a boomer who is still suspicious of it escaping out the walls and adding to the bill 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect it's some fud living in those flats at Wallace Street or around about there. The ones that look really nice from outside and then you go in and discover they've been completely ruined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
