Why are texting people at 6 something in the morning? |

| Once again everyone, silence your texts and leave your ringer on for emergencies. |

Why can’t you silence text notifications only? |

Because I missed your texts sent the night before, and am responding to you when I can. I don't expect you to read/respond to my 6am text, but that when it works for me. You respond when it works for you. It's insane to expect others to remember what times are convenient for you. Manage your own damn phone. |

No, YOU are rude if you expect everyone to know and remember precisely when it's a good time to contact you. Manage your own damn phone like a grownup. |

Yes, there are certainly some pretty clueless people here, about that you are right. But you are among them. Emails and texts are not the same. There was never an issue with the timing of emails. Texting is the same as calling. You are rude for assuming that it's on the receiver to put you on DND. |

I promise you, I am far more "computer literate" than you are. Whether or not users choose to use the DND feature or how they choose to use it has nothing to do with it. It is rude to send an unimportant text that early in the morning, especially on the weekend. Even if the phone is on DND, I do not want to wake up at 8 am and see that annoying text from my SIL to start my day. I am sure nobody wants to hear from you when they first awake either. Do not text early in the morning unless it is urgent. It is rude. People do not want to see your inane texts first thing on a Saturday morning. |

If you cannot remember that it is not a good time to text somebody an annoying text about your son's graduation, in fact, that is your problem--and it's a pretty serious one--not that people who don't want to receive your irrelevant text first thing in the morning. Trust us. Learn social graces, and gain some self-awareness. In the case of OP, her SIL absolutely does not want to hear from her first thin in the morning--whether it woke her up from the tone, or it was the first thing she sees when she does wake up. It's annoying. |

Once again everyone, do not text people at 6am. Your text can wait. |

I'm with the other PP on this one. I am fine with silencing my texts. But I still don't want to have to see texts from you when I first wake up. Stop texting me between midnight and 8 am. It's really annoying--and not because it wakes me up. Because you are not the first person I want to hear from in the morning. |

Clearly most of y'all are too privileged to be out know night shifters. I cannot and do not expect people to know what time I sleep, because on any given day I may be awake at 2 AM or 2 PM. It is on me to manage which notifications I receive and when, so as to not be woken when I do not wish to be. As plenty of people have pointed out, I can adjust my phone settings accordingly.
Also, in addition to crazy sleep patterns, I have 2 sisters who live in Europe. We all know to expect texts at random times from one another. It is extremely possible to manage this. SIL is being difficult. Hopefully she doesn't come ruin your party, OP. And congrats to your graduate! |

If you don't want your phone to ring, then turn your phone to do not disturb. My phone is off between 10 pm and 7 am. You can call but I won't hear it unless you are listed as a favorite and I will get a notice for a second message or call. My sister and son are listed this way. |
