On the nightstand, I have Pixel upright charger, it turns my phone into a clock (turns off-screen if it's dark). I can grab it and put back on effortlessly without looking for cable, plugging/unplugging, cleaning lint out of usb-c port.
On my office desk, I have another wireless charger, but this one is flat. Place my phone/headphone-case on it, and it's charging. If I need either - just pick it up and go. I don't have to think about plugging the cable and accidentally pulling it when I forget to unplug it.
That makes me charge my phone more often during the day (i.e. charge at 50% to 80%). During the night, it doesn't matter because the phone is slow charging to be at 100% around the time I wake rather than charge to a 100% and then sit at it the entire night.
If I do need a quick charge - I just unplug the wireless charger and charge it. Airport lounges have charging spots on tables - don't have to: a) trust their USB ports b) get cables and charger out of my bad. Cars have them.
Anyways, not going back to charging with wire anytime soon.
