Re: What's the Latest you Like to Get Phone Calls in the Evening?

I'd love calls to end at 8pm. I need time to wind down in order to fall asleep.  

 

Just because the phone rings doesn't mean you have to answer.

The only bad call I received was about my mother's death.  I think it was about 4:00AM.  Something like that.  I was in college.  Since then, I've never recieved a call after 10:00PM

Around 8:30 for me...we usually start getting ready for bed at 9:00.

 

The most aggravating call I ever received was around 1:00 a.m., many years ago, on the land line (no cell phones back then). Of course I answered, heart pounding from being awakened from a sound sleep--and it was a telemarketer! I said "Why are you calling me at 1:00 a.m?" She giggled and said "Oh! I'm in California!" and just hung up! No apology, nothing. I live in SC, so it would've been 3 hours earlier for her...about 10:00 p.m. still too late for a telemarketing call, IMO.

 

Thankfully, that never happened again! Most late night calls for us were either a very rare emergency, or wrong numbers.

My twin sister and I have an understanding that we are available for each other at any time...If something is going on in our lives that is causing worry or distress, we are always there for each other regardless of time.

Don't call after 8 pm. The hubs and I are watching our favorite TV shows.

I have do not disturb set up so that I do not receive calls between 9pm and 6am but I should have it set up to start at 8pm and may change it. I don't call people that late. 

Just because I might be up doesn't mean I should be on the phone. It is important to unwind before bed and it takes me a long time to get relaxed so I can fall asleep.
