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 😅
Fire hazard.
I charge it at work while I’m (mostly) conscious. xD

This. I’m surprised Fire Hazard is not the top answer in this thread…
I charge my phone at work …

You just described my entire life. We’re probably best friends now.
Keeping Lithium-ion batteries at 100% charge will reduce their lifespan. They want to live in the 40-80% range. I use an app that notifies me when my phone has charged to 80%, so that I can unplug it. It may be overkill, but I plan to use this phone for 9 more years or so.
Both iphone and androids have an OS option to stop charging at 85 though - I keep it on all the time unless I’m going to need that extra bit of juice
9 more years?? I’ve gotten almost 6 years out of my Oneplus 5T and I’ve been ecstatic about it. It’s literally lasted 3 times longer than any phone I’ve had before it
Me too. Samsung has a feature to “protect battery life”, so it only charges until 85%. You can keep it on power, but it won’t surpass 85%.
when i see people’s phones constantly at, like, 12%, it drives me crazy.
I charge it during the day at work.
Boss makes a dollar I make a dime…
… that’s why I charge on company time
I suck at sleeping so when I feel like I could conk out I seize the opportunity and go for it. Plugging in my phone is part of my bedtime ritual, so I trick my brain into not going into high gear to resist shutting down by not charging at night. You think I’m kidding, it’s a battle every day.
Try melatonin.
Melatonin is not just great for falling but also for staying asleep. I’m so happy I found this…
It helps me fall asleep, but I always wake up a few hours later. I’ve tried different doses too to no avail. :(
Because i charge it before i go to sleep?
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 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
On days I don’t WFH, I charge my phone in the car. My commute is 2 hours per day which is sufficient.
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.
Bringing back chamber pots one person at a time
Sometimes I fall sleep while scrolling or watching something in bed, so no overnight charge
No good for your health my guy
I don’t want an exploding phone in my bedroom. I charge it at my desk while working
they forgor
