Anyone else that likes to put their phone in airplane mode to decompress/sleep?

I use sleep mode on iOS and that will block basically everything. Emergency alerts will still go through, which is important to me as I live in a very wildfire prone area. My mom is white listed as well for family emergencies. Sleep mode will also allow a call to ring if they call twice back to back and that has allowed my brother to reach me in the past during an emergency. I’d be too nervous to completely cut data and cell service.

I never really understood doing this as I hate getting most notifications when in awake. Unsubscribe and filter spam emails, disable notifications you don't want, and uninstall any app that provides notifications that can't be disabled.

I want my waking hours to be as undisturbed as my sleeping hours while still retaining my awareness for friends, family, and emergencies.

Not to sleep but I turn my phone off at least once weekly or try to go somewhere without signal

I strive to do this too but alas it's easy to get distracted...

My phone is always in airplane mode. I use voip (which requires wi-fi ) so I have no need for a full time celltower connection. For the times I do have a data plan, I'll turn off airplane mode when I need to use data.

I use the phone as an alarm clock but the phone never wakes me while dnd is on. It's all about setting it up the right way.

I have a DND schedule. I have some things that are allowed through like calls but that's about it.

[usernameblankface@lemmy.world]

Not only that, it charges in a separate room from where I sleep. Whatever it does, it doesn't wake me up.

For waking in the morning, I hate the buzzing or claxon type alarm, so I got an alarm clock that turns on to an FM station and turns up the volume until I get out of bed to turn it off.

No not really. I have the bedtime mode set up the way I want it with the necessary exceptions. Airplane mode would mess that up.

[proti@lemmy.world]

I do, even used to turn off the router at night - just so there's a little less noise in the air. Could be a placebo but I feel like it makes me sleep better.

[grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world]

I always put mine on DND and filter it for phone calls only from specific people (because if those people call me in the middle of night, it is for sure an emergency). Everything else is on silent.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Having it on DND still makes you receive the notifications". You can filter all that shit out, check your settings. If you mean that you want to be able to look at your phone but not see notifications, I'd say you just need to learn to put the phone down, period. Don't even be looking at that thing 30 minutes before bed. Put it down and get ready for bed, then sleep.

Yeah same. Only phone calls get through, the rest is silent. I don't get spam called enough to have a whitelist. If I expect important messages I might check a bit more often. But I rarely miss something important
