But people generally had the good manners not to call in the middle of the night, unless it was an emergency.

Do people nowadays call others in the middle of the night? I know it will not work for everyone but I've setup alerts so almost nothing makes a sound on the phone, even with DnD off.

  I really haven't received any non-emergency calls at midnight for years. App notifications, on the other hand..., uh. I just set my phone to DnD with calls allowed and notifications silenced, and it works wonders. Maybe it should be the default?

    That's exactly what I think. I shouldn't have to be configuring stuff to not be disturbed. That should be the default. Then let me configure under what circumstances I want to waken up, like this person is calling, the server went down, etc. Maybe that's what designers/developers should consider when working on notifications: this notification will potentially wake up someone, let's not do it unless they explicitly asked us to wake them up if this happened.

      Yep, someone designed my phone to vibrate if it runs out of battery and needs to shut down. Wonderful in the middle of the night. No way to disable it.

        Haha hilarious. I'm sorry about it, but this is a great example of what I'm talking about

  Generally no. But we had former presidents that tweet at 3am, does that count?

  Some people are just set up differently. I have to mute my phone at night because of this with one person in mind. I tend to do that anyway but there are certain people I'd like to be able to contact me then if there's an emergency. Unfortunately there isn't a straightforward way to allow just them to cause ringng on my phone either. This person just doesn't get it either. When we were in school they'd walk into my dorm room at about 3 in the morning too if I didn't lock it

  The friendly people from Windows Technical Department keep calling me at various times of the day and night to tell me about the malware I supposedly have on my computer. I now ignore all calls unless I know the number or am expecting a call from a doctor or similar.
