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 😅
I charge it during the day at work.
Boss makes a dollar I make a dime…
… that’s why I charge on company 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 …
when i see people’s phones constantly at, like, 12%, it drives me crazy.
Haha it’s always funny with screenshots posted on social media, like 4% I’m sweating 😅

You just described my entire life. We’re probably best friends now.
Some people are just extremely lazy. I used to be the same, but I decided to spend a few dollars on a wireless charging stand that I can just throw my phone onto while I’m dozing off.
Fire hazard.
I charge it at work while I’m (mostly) conscious. xD
I don’t want an exploding phone in my bedroom. I charge it at my desk while working
Same thing with my girlfriend. I even got a charger and a cable just for her exclusive use but she keeps unplugging my phone because “it has more charge than mine”. Which, fair, but like??? It didn’t have to be this way??
Because i charge it before i go to sleep?
I wfh and charge during work
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
I feel this pain. Wife’s battery-powered devices are always in a constant state of dying. Something has convinced her that it’s better to let the battery almost! die, then charge it to full, but not leave it plugged in because that will degrade the battery; meaning it never gets charged overnight. I’m sure there’s a small kernel of truth in where she learned that, but it’s almost a joke at this point when she goes scrambling for her charger when using her phone, tablet, etc. It’s painful, but also adorable? I guess. Anyway, it’s not a hill I’m willing to die on, so I just let it be and laugh almost everytime it happens.
She needn’t worry about manually optimizing battery wear, and, in fact, the most harmful thing you can do to a battery is to fully deplete it frequently.
Educate her about the built-in feature of optimized battery charging. iPhones and some Androids have it.

That was true a long time ago when NiCad batteries were around. But, since they had the problems you described, they’re not around any more, and phones generally all use lithium-ion batteries which don’t have this issue.
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 WISH I could make the conscious decision to sleep. How does THAT work?
ehhhhh, its a heavy sleeper thing for me I think. I usually don’t make the conscious decision of falling asleep, I just lay in bed until I just pass out. My brain just gives up and disconnects. I’m a heavy sleeper, and I need like 30 minutes minimum between opening my eyes in the morning and actually getting out of bed.
I’m also watching streaming services too and it happens a lot to me that I’m watching a series in bed, I fall sleep, and wake up to realize I watched many chapters of the series so I gotta watch them again later, this time for real.
I usually do, but sometimes I forget 😅
