Some even allow notifications and messages to disrupt their sleep.

WTF is wrong with people!?

Someone with, for instance, older kids who could get themselves into a situation (and only communicate by text) and a parent in a different time zone who’s got Alzheimer’s and is being cared for by a stressed-out sibling who needs support and agreement from the rest of us by group email.

Isn’t it possible to allow-list certain numbers?

Yes. Android for example has an option to allow starred contacts or certain conversation notifications to always ignore do not disturb, as well as letting any calls through if the same number calls twice during 15 minutes.

I have had multiple people in my life tell me that it is irresponsible to not have my phone on, 24/7, in case they need to message me about something.

These are the same people who get angry anytime I message them and they are busy, but also get angry if I am busy and don’t immediately reply to them.

I’ve been woken up so many times at 2 am…

At least in my life, its quite common for people to be hypocritical douchebags.

Most phones these days allow you to set a DND schedule which you can customize to allow specific numbers for emergencies and people that don’t abuse it.

Mine has a setting where if a number calls you once, it blocks. If it calls you a second time, it goes through. And it works! I use it all the time.

Do Not Disturb, since I started using that feature I sleep much better. I even have set to automatically go into that state when I go to bed.

Also began using it for other things as well. Like watching tv and when I am driving.

I set my phone to automatically go into Do Not Disturb mode at night, but still ring if my parents call me. If they call at night, it must be urgent.

That seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do, very different from allowing “notifications and messages to disrupt their sleep”.

It’s called working in IT. Gotta make sure those servers are up.

Bruh I work in IT (maintaining servers too) and my day ends at 5. You need a union. If you’re on call literally all the time you should be getting paid overtime.

if this is the case, it should be in your contract, you should get paid for on-call duty and get a free SIM and/or phone for those notifications, so you can mute or shutdown notifications from your private SIM/phone

I don’t know about you but I will not be taking after hours calls for work without being compensated for being available

I sometimes forget to turn on do not disturb so this has definitely happened to me before ¯\(ツ)

Set a wake up alarm and your phone will automatically enter do not disturb mode for the 8 hours before your alarm

some people are teens and are in summer break (or have a worthwhile job that let’s you clock in online and whenever you wake up).

Sleep by Android and I’m sure some other apps turn it on for you when you plug it in at night, then turn it off when your alarm goes.

I’m pretty sure that forgetting and allowing are two very different things.
