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.
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.
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.
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).
