Amen.
My phone goes off when I go to bed, and stays off until I decide I need it again.
There is NO ONE on this planet I need to text/chat with at 5 am.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

This[^] post mentions a utility called LightFlow that may help. But I like Bassam's idea.

Turn the ringer off.
I mean, really. If someone is having an emergency, why would they call you at some ungodly hour of the night, rather than 911?
And if it's not worthy of a 911, then it's not a real emergency, right?
BTW, do you not have a land line in case of actually needing to be notified that someone has a real emergency, called 911, and now a loved one is in the hospital?

Years ago my cousin had a bad motorbike/scooter accident... he flew some meters to land his head against a bench that was on the side of the road (he was wearing those half head helmets).
The girlfriend (well, she was not the legal girlfriend if you understand me) that was with him at the crash moment also flew away but she was luckier and was able to use her phone to call the ambulances and then used his phone to call any contact in his phone book. It was me who was called at 2 o'clock in the night...
Thanks to that I woke up his parents and picked them up at their house to take them to the hospital.
After an helicopter flight to the hospital and two weeks in coma (a head bone broke and went inside his brain) he woke up like nothing had happened... the worst of that the suffering for the family, the hairstyle he has now (like a tennis ball in one side) and the fact that both "girlfriends" met at the hospital...  Yes, he is a kind of superhero (two girldfriends and so...).
This is why I don't like to shut the ringer off on my phone... just in case something strange happens during nights.
Oh, and the landline... I have it as I need it for the ADSL but the only calls I'm getting there are from telephone operators asking me to change companies so this one is always disconnected.
Anyway, I've been looking at on{x} and IFTTT which could help me to "script" the solution directly... Now I just need some time...

I stand corrected. 
Amazing story, and I'm glad your cousin is OK!

Yes, the most impressive thing was the shard (google translation here, I mean a small nail shaped broken head bone) that went two centimeters inside his brain...
We were really worried but you know... at the end doctors made a great job he is OK and has not lost all his female attraction powers so I think everything is perfect...

Like Marc said, Turn the ringer off. I have installed Tasker on my phone and programmed it to always shut the ringer between 23 and 7.

Ignore the smart alecks, the surprising thing would be if nobody made any wisecracks.
If you pull up Whatsapp (or any app, in fact) from Settings - Apps, there's an option to disable notifications, have you tried that?
(Personally, I turn my data off when I go to sleep, although the ringer is still on. And this is only for one phone, whose number very few people have. The "regular" phones are on silent when we go to sleep.)
Cheers,

Oh, come on, he also drank some (lots) gin and ATE BACON.
How much more excitement do you want?
There was also some suspicion that he nuked Griff's internet by refusing to let engineers into his field for a repair, but that's just hearsay (he has a pack of highly trained assassin Kuvasz that he uses to guard his Gordon's pipeline and I don't want to upset him!)

@Marc-Clifton is pregnant now. He's part of an experimental program that's been quite a success. Of course he'll have to give birth via a C-section, which is painful. But, last I heard he's really looking forward to the breast feeding and nursing stage.

Given the websites I've been working on 1[^] and 2[^] and potentially 3[^] if funding comes through, you're not too far off.
