Someone with, for instance, older kids who could get themselves into a situation (and only communicate by text) and a parent in a different time zone who’s got Alzheimer’s and is being cared for by a stressed-out sibling who needs support and agreement from the rest of us by group email.
Yes. Android for example has an option to allow starred contacts or certain conversation notifications to always ignore do not disturb, as well as letting any calls through if the same number calls twice during 15 minutes.
WTF is wrong with people!?

Isn’t it possible to allow-list certain numbers?

I’d love to use that feature, but it just seems so ineffective on my android. Things I whitelist fail to show, and things I blacklist pop up.
The BuzzKill app is amazing for this, imo.

I sometimes forget to turn on do not disturb so this has definitely happened to me before ¯\(ツ)/¯
Sleep by Android and I’m sure some other apps turn it on for you when you plug it in at night, then turn it off when your alarm goes.
I’m pretty sure that forgetting and allowing are two very different things.
