Do you never worry about missing a family emergency call? Like an accident or death or similar?

I don't accept general calls overnight, but I'd hate to miss the call.

That's what the "do not disturb" mode is for in iOS - you can let either contacts, or favorites, through IIRC.
And it's extremely useful, I don't get random calls in the middle of the night unless it's PagerDuty, select coworkers (in case something is a big-deal before PD calls me 10 minutes after the push notification) and family.
Precisely: < everyone | no one | favorites | selected contact group > + [ anyone that calls twice within 3 min ]
