Before going to sleep, I used to do what millions of other people do: I charged my iPhone while I slept.

Note that if I’m going to be spending a lot of time in the car or out and about, I’ll also use a car charger or carry a power bank with me.

This system works well, and I believe it puts less stress on the iPhone’s battery (time will tell) as well as the charger. It also makes me plan where I need my chargers, so I’m not just relying on a bedside charger.

And when I’m at home, working on the road, or traveling, this charging regime hasn’t let me down. 

Because people always ask, I still charge using a cable rather than wireless, and I use a
20W Anker Nano USB-C charger

. For portable power banks, I’ve been using the candy-bar sized
6700mAh Anker Astro E1

and the larger 
10,000mAh Anker PowerCore 10000 Redux

. Both are portable, rugged, reliable, and fantastic power banks. Just don’t forget to bring a charging cable!
