Does anyone turn off their phone when they go to bed?

No, I just leave it in the living room where I can't hear it.

No. I never know where it is half the time anyway.
It's usually in the car or stuck in the couch cushions by mistake.

I don't have the EF skills to remember to shut it off.

I have a landline though, and it sometimes rings.
I shut the ringer off it and then forget to put it back on for months.

Haven't currently got one that works at all, but if I had, I'd configure it to only receive calls and messages from friends / family who I trusted not to bother me at night unless it was a serious emergency. One reason I haven't got one is that I don't know of one that would definitely allow me to do that. So I'm staying in the Stone Age.

But I've got a landline in the UK, and I don't turn that off. It's never yet woken me at night, but if it started doing that I'd either turn it off or somehow do what I'd do with a cell phone.

It's a shame to have to block all unknown numbers, because there are times when even one of those could turn out to be important, but sociopathic advertisers would give me little choice.

Yes.  Then I put it on the charger and I go to sleep.  In the morning, I check for messages.
