Woah dude. Overkill much
😄
My phone's been on silent for almost a decade. I'm a night shifter, so "do not disturb" is programmed to come on automatically during the day while I sleep, just in case there's a notification that ignores the fact my phone is on silent. >

This is the way.
I haven't had an audible notification enabled for a decade either.
That's not necessarily because of sleep, but mostly because I'm not a 12 year old girl. >

Audible notifications being for 12 year old girls is a bit of a stretch. I'll turn my ringer on if I'm expecting something important lol. >

I wear a smartwatch, so I get notifications, including phonecalls, via my watch vibrating. My phone stays completely silent, not even vibrant is on. I've grown to hate unnecessary noises. I have my microwave muted too..I don't need a beep to know it's not running 😅 >

To be honest a smart watch flooding me with notifications sounds even worse >

You just disable everything not important. This is the more key thing. 99% of phone notifications are not time sensitive. They are annoying ads or trash. Disable everything except the essentials. Also stop texting so many people and so often. Who needs to talk that much. >

I leave my phone on silent always because I work night shift, but I have people who blow up at me for responding to messages when I'm awake (at night) because it woke them up.
Bud, if I can figure out how to put my phone on silent, so can you, damn. >

What if someone is trying to reach you with an emergency?  This is the reason I don’t keep my phone on silent. >

Silent for everything except phone calls. If it's an emergency they'll phone. If you're phoning me at 3am without an emergency, fuck you. >

a friend of mine called me 2am at night and wanted to know what video essay about the character dynamics in SpongeBob I talked about a few days earlier... >

Did you fire his from being your friend? >

Killed him
