    Do you put your phone on silent overnight? (Poll)
    Just thought it would be interesting to see how many people put their phones on silent when they sleep.

    I know people leave their phones on loud because they don't mind being woken up by incoming calls/texts/bbms, if someone's going to get in touch in the middle of the night then it must be important etc. Or maybe even some people sleep through it?

    I personally can't stand being woken up in the morning by early birds texting me and ruining my lie in! I can't even leave it on vibrate because it wakes me up...

    No, as I use it as an alarm and my phone isn't good enough to set off the alarm and be on silent!

    It's been on vibrate and silent since about 2007 so yes by default really

    mine goes on to silent but vibrate at night, so if i get a text in the morning and im in a light sleep it will wake me up, but rarely! i do however usually wake up to loads of texts, facebook chat messages and facebook comments. i couldnt deal with it being on loud and them constantly waking me up!

    I leave mine on silent. Way too many times have I gotten drunken calls or texts about absolutely nothing in the middle of the night.

    I don't just put it on silent, I turn the damn thing off when I'm sleeping. I have no desire to be contactable at all hours of the day, if people are desperate to get in contact with me they can wait until I turn it back on again after I've woken up and had my morning cup of tea.

    My phone and I have a bizarre relationship. When it's on it's constantly on vibrate, though the vast majority of the time I just ignore it and allow it to go dead; I only realise a month or so later when someone says that they tried calling me. I really don't know how people can live their day to day lives in the company of this little buzzing device which is constantly informing you that people want to bug you. I prefer email, though telegrams would be even better if I had the choice.

    Nobody has ever tried to contact me in the middle of the night.

    My phone is always on silent but vibrate. Texts only wake me up in the middle of the night if I'm in a light period of sleep. Calls will but it's easy to silence if it's not a call I need to answer (I have different colours for different contacts based on whether I need to answer them in middle of night or not!)

    My personal phone is usually on silent at night. My Blackberry, after hours, is on a special profile that only alerts me for 24/7 response emails when I'm on call.

    I have my phone on vibrate at all times and kept on all night incase of any emergencies or if work needs cover for the early shift
