My wife’s phone dies every. single. day. and I don’t know why she doesn’t just charge it at night.
I’m just wondering how people live like this 😅
There’s actually a safety factor there. When Li-Ion (lithium-ion) batteries fail and suffer thermal runaway (fire), it’s most commonly during charging. It’s rare, but it does still happen. The rule is to avoid charging Li-Ion powered devices unattended. I do that at times myself, but I realize the risk and actually put things in a “charging pot” if unattended.
You don’t need anything fancy to use as a charging pot, a ceramic casserole dish will do. If you’re going to charge while asleep or out of the house it’s not a bad idea to use some kind of containment.
I didn’t know about that, now I’m scared.
Don’t be scared, it’s actually a pretty rare occurrence. Just be aware it can happen. Same thing with driving, accidents are rare, but wear your seatbelt.

It doesn’t matter when you got a fast-charge phone.
This mindset is so frustrating. My fiancee and I will have a discussion like do you want to go do _______. We decide to go, and now ensues the I need to let my phone charge some before we go. Waiting ~30 minutes before leaving to go somewhere is very disadvantages.
I simply charge it while I get ready in the morning. I can charge in the car or via a powerbank if I really don’t have time.
Because I try to charge my phone when I am in the office, as much as possible. There are no small savings in my book :D
Not necessarily. Many phones will charge more slowly during the night if you set a morning alarm. You could be wearing down you battery when you charge at work.
I charge my phone at work …
I charge it during the day at work.

I have a wireless charging stand at work, so my phone is nearly 70% charged when I go to bed. No real point to me in having extra clutter on my nightstand.
On the weekends, I’ll charge my phone on the kitchen counter while making breakfast for the kids.
I read to fall asleep, so my phone usually stays with me in bed. Pro-Tip, if she has an iPhone, set the Sleep focus to turn on at a specific time and enable low power mode.
For many years I always did this for my own android phone in Tasker, and more recently Samsung Modes&Routines, but thank you for this as I just realized I never did the same for my wife’s iPhone
I wfh and charge during work
I have a wireless charger on my desk, pretty much almost every day I already have 100% when going to bed
Because I can charge it in my car, at my desk in the office or with my battery pack when I am out.
I don’t want an exploding phone in my bedroom. I charge it at my desk while working

On days I don’t WFH, I charge my phone in the car. My commute is 2 hours per day which is sufficient.
I just fall asleep while watching a yt video of something and the phone is still in my hand.
I genuinely don’t understand how this works for so many people. When i watch something, I watch it and wont sleep until i make the concious decision to stop paying attention and close my eyes. Same with books or anything really. Maybe music works
I don’t know you married one, ask her and let us know?
Oh I have, I’ve heard every excuse haha, mostly just that she doesn’t think of it? Seems weird to me
