I have it on do not disturb from 10.30pm - 6am, but favourites are allowed through and this is good especially when stopping away from home during the week.

Plebs get my mobile and get ignored at night.
People I care about get my home number and get my full attention if they think something is worth waking me about.

The only annoyance is sometimes FaceBook decides to play alerts but mostly it doesn't. So randomly it might start chiming at 2am. But I generally don't bother.

Phone is on silent and in airplane mode just to be sure.
Silent to stop the noise, airplane mode to preserve the battery a bit, because I don't want to have to wait in the morning for the phone to switch on.

Own phone not on silent
If client co provided a company phone it's switched off the second I leave my desk to go home (I leave it usually in my desk as well)

It's pretty much on silent the whole time, unless I know I may get a call or am meeting up with people then I put the volume up.
Never keep my phone with me at home it pretty much sits in my handbag.
If there's an emergency people can call the landline.
