How to do it

1. 01

   Swipe down twice from the top of the screen and tap the Do Not Disturb tile if you want it on right now.

2. 02

   For a schedule, open Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb.

3. 03

   Add a schedule for the hours you sleep.

4. 04

   Open Calls or People and allow contacts, or favorite contacts, so a family call still rings.

Alarms still sound. App notifications do not, unless you added that app to the exceptions. Check the exceptions list if a chat app goes silent and you did not want it to.
