If you find yourself woken up by notifications, text messages or incoming calls, then there is a handy feature called Blocking mode.
To enable this go to Settings – Do not disturb.
Next, select Enable now or Enable as scheduled.
The latter option will give you options to set the time period for your Do not disurb.
You can also add exceptions to allow notifications from certain contacts that you don’t mind bothering you.
If you want to go to settings, then you can go to your list of Apps and open the Settings App.
There is however a quicker way. Simply position your finger right at the top of the screen and drag it down. You may need to do this twice on some phones.
Your notification bar will appear and you can then press the small Gear icon at the top of the screen to go to the Settings.
