Have you ever been called in the middle of the night that prompted this behavior? I have only been woken by my phone twice and both times I'm glad I was.

Just join a WhatsApp group with some friends in a different timezone.

Or have e-mail on your phone, making a sound whenever you receive an e-mail.

Or get an SMS from your cell provider when you run out of data, even if you somehow run out of data at 4am.

(Of course, I know I wouldn't be anyone's first phone call in an emergency)

Why on Earth would any sane person set their phone up to do this?
