Do you all toggle bluetooth off for Apple Watch each night or keep it on 24/7?

Since getting an Apple Watch I toggle bluetooth off at night before bed, then when I wake up i toggle it on.

DO you all keep bluetooth on 24/7 on your phone? Seems like a pain to toggle it.

When sleeping you should not have bluetooth enabled very close to your Head.

Sure you can as long as you are protected from the 'evil' BT rays.

I put mine into airplane mode at night to conserve battery while still using Sleep++.
 
I leave BT enabled because I'd want the watch to help wake me if a call comes in while I'm sleeping. Silent taptics FTW.
 
It's a fair point - on the few occasions I've worn my watch while sleeping, I've put it in Airplane mode and turned off 'raise to wake'
Why?
A) I want the battery to last until then morning and B) I'm a light sleeper and the glare of an OLED display in my face at night could wake me up.
Obviously if you're leaving it on a nightstand then it can all be left on, and there's never any need to turn off Bluetooth on your phone.
 
I leave it on, but I also have a charging stand on my night stand and before bed I put my watch on it and plug my phone in. I do this nightly regardless of what the battery is at at the time. Every morning I wake to devices that I use daily all rested and recharged ready to go.

I used to do sleep tracking with jawbone up, tried with AW but didn't find any of the apps to do a great job with it. At this point w/o using another brand fitness/sleep tracker I would say sleep cycle (on iPhone) does the best job. I would recommend giving it a try for a few nights and just charge your watch while your sleeping.
 
I turn it off in case my phone and my ipad develop self awareness while I am sleeping and use BT to communicate with one another and plot against me. @Julien I just bought one of those hats off ebay. Got a special version for $1K that includes BT & WiFi protection. #SkyNetIsReal people.
