I don't bother because it wastes barely any battery when on standby. My phone is always on vibrate anyway and I don't hear it at night.
Got a tip for us?

Do you turn your iphone off at night?

What's the point of that? Might as well keep the ringer on too if you want to be woken up. But this bring up a good idea, maybe someone could make an app that prioritizes calls based on phone number, so say you can have your phone silent except for when certain people call you. In the case of non-jailbroken phones this would have to be an iOS setting though. Hmm.
LoL!, I'm sure that if "someone is dying" people will ring my landline phone to my house and wake me up that way.

I would be interested to see how many people on these forums actually have landlines. 99% of the people I know don't have landlines, my parents haven't had a landline in almost 5 years. The only person I can think of with a landline is my 80+ year old grandparents.
While I don't turn it off at night, I do make it a point to turn it off for a bit everyday (usually during a shower).
So that consists of what? 10-20 people? Out of the 7 billion in the world...
A lot of people still have landlines. I personally do, mainly because I don't want to give my cell number to EVERYONE. Somehow when you give someone your cell number.. it means it's okay for them to text you all the time. It's really annoying.

I put it in airplane mode while I'm sleeping. Also, I charge my phone overnight and in the morning power it off then back on.
I do every few days (when I should be clear of needing to receive emergency phone calls), because that is the only way I can get my subscribed calendars to update.
I'm in the UK and I got a landline as part of my broadband deal, perhaps it's different where you are but everyone I know has got a landline and a mobile phone (young and old people). So, do you just have mobile Internet in your house?, if so don't you find that a bit slow for when you are at home downloading etc?, just wondering?. Yeah it would be interesting to find out how many people have what though.
Nope. I leave mine plugged in all day at work running Pandora then let it die down during the night until the alarm on it wakes me up in the morning. Besides when I purposefully cycle the battery, it never goes below 50% during this venture.
No...I don't see the point in turning my phone off at night. I'll put it in airplane mode every once in a while though.
