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
