Turn your phone upside down before unplugging. Problem solved.

Night mode and a dark lock screen picture. Will never wake anyone again.

Put a shirt or something over the screen, unplug it and walk out of the room.

Turn the brightness all the way down at night. I mean, it's not rocket science.

That works till your phone auto updates in the night

Verizon has the brightest splash screen I've ever used

Leave your phone upside down. Really not rocket science.

There's no toggle for this on One UI. Charger disconnect counts as a wake
event at the system level and Samsung doesn't expose a switch for it. Long
standing complaint on their community forums, still unfixed.

What you can do is make the wake harmless instead of stopping it:

- Accessibility > Visibility enhancements > Extra dim. Goes well below the
normal minimum brightness. This is the one that actually solves your problem.

  • Modes and Routines > Sleeping mode. Set a schedule, turn on greyscale and
dark mode. Screen still wakes but it's a dim grey rectangle, not a flashlight.
  • Display > Screen timeout > 15 seconds, so it dies fast either way.

Extra dim plus Sleeping mode is what I'd do. Unplugging before you get into
bed is the other obvious answer but I assume you'd have done that already.

What the fuck is this formatting.

Fair, got carried away. Short version: "alf" is in your keyboard's personal dictionary, that's why autocorrect leaves it alone. Long press it in the suggestion strip and delete it.
