Silent Case

How do I schedule my iPhone 3G sounds to automatically mute or go silent at night when I sleep?

I would like to schedule my iphone to mute or go silent during sleeping hours so that notifications don’t wake me up. I still need calls to come through in case of an emergency and I still need the alarm clock to work so I’m not late for work. Is there any way to do this? Maybe an app that I just can’t find.

There is no app or built-in way to schedule the sounds to be muted without manually doing it through settings>sounds.

There is a guy that has a website that sells a mini adapter (it’s super tiny) which mutes all notifications when docked or plugged into the headphone jack. It’s quite a nice little gadget. It’s called Silent Night and I bought one to plug into my dock. Got it in the mail and plugged it into my dock in less than a second. Every time I dock my phone before I go to bed, it automatically mutes all notifications so they don’t wake me up. Calls and alarms still work, though….which is good in case there is an emergency call or you use your iPhone as an alarm clock. In the morning I just undock the phone and all notifications work again. The best part is, you don’t have to configure anything in the iPhone settings for this to work. It was the best purchase I’ve made for my iPhone so far. It’s super tiny too….props to the guy who makes it. The website is:

Silent Heart Attack

Heart attacks are a major cause of death and disability. Most people assume that the onset of a heart attack is accompanied by a series of symptoms such as chest pain and pain in the right arm or passing out. For the victim of the silent heart attack this is not always the case. The silent heart attack can come on with very minor symptoms and be just as deadly as any other heart attack. A heat attack occurs when blood flow to the heart muscle itself is blocked and causes part of the heart to die. This in turn causes the heart to malfunction.

Recovering from a heart attack is contingent on the swiftness of the reaction to its symptoms. Delay can be deadly in the event of a heart attack. By virtue of the fact that a silent heart attack comes on without the extreme symptoms a person generally expects in the event of a heart attack, immediate treatment is quite often delayed until it is too late. Symptoms of the silent heart attack can be as follows. Pain in your arms,chest and jaw that seem to get better if you rest. Being short of breath and getting tired easily. Chest pain is a major red flag for an oncoming heart attack it is not always present during a silent heart attack.

Fast treatment is the key to surviving a heart attack. Due to the fact that the symptoms of the silent heart attack can feel relief with a little rest, they sometimes can delay treatment which in turn can be devastating. Jaw pain in a heart attack can sometimes mistaken for a tooth ache and the arm pain can be misconstrued for a pulled muscle. The chest pain can be attributed to an ulcer, heart burn or severe gas pain. This has caused people to sit at home and misdiagnose themselves and die from an otherwise treatable heart attack. Determining if you are at risk for a silent heart attack is a preemptive step you can take.

Those mostly at risk for a silent heart attack are people who have had a previous heart attack. Also at risk are diabetics and those over the age of sixty-five and people prone to strokes. Some medications can carry with them a risk of making a person more at risk for a silent heart attack. Always ask your doctor to explain in detail all side effects of any medication you are prescribed. Smoking and alcohol consumption can also increase the risk of heart attack as can being over weight. It is important to bear in mind that everyone can take steps to minimize their risk of having a silent heart attack. Exercising more and talking to your doctor can only help to reduce your chances.

If you have taken stock of your risk factors and have determined that you are at risk for a silent heart attack then a plan of action should be in place in the event you ever do find yourself having a silent heart attack. Never let doubt come into play in such a serious situation. This is a common problem. People have actually delayed seeking treatment for a heart attack because they were worried about the resulting medical bills. What good is money if your dead? People have gone to chiropractors and dentists to find relief from the symptoms of a silent heart attack. Make your plans before the symptoms occur when you can think clearly and with a cool head.
