One of my phone's puffed up while being on the charger at night. Woke up next to a spicy pillow.
I work from home on a desk job. I charge my phone once a day so now I do it at 4pm everyday and follow that cycle.

I have a wireless charging stand at work, so my phone is nearly 70% charged when I go to bed. No real point to me in having extra clutter on my nightstand.
On the weekends, Iโll charge my phone on the kitchen counter while making breakfast for the kids.
If she carries a purse, or otherwise can carry one extra item, a USB battery (looks like Amazon calls them "portable chargers") might deal with the issue. If the phone's running low in the day, just start it charging off the battery.
Then the problem just transfers to a new device that you have to remember to charge up instead.
I suck at sleeping so when I feel like I could conk out I seize the opportunity and go for it. Plugging in my phone is part of my bedtime ritual, so I trick my brain into not going into high gear to resist shutting down by not charging at night. You think I'm kidding, it's a battle every day.
Try melatonin.
Melatonin is not just great for falling but also for staying asleep. I'm so happy I found this...
It helps me fall asleep, but I always wake up a few hours later. I've tried different doses too to no avail. :(
Because my smartphone with Li-Ion 3140 mAh battery lives 48-72 hours. No google apps (LineageOS), LTE is off (I use only WiFi), Bluetooth is off. Well, I use my phone mostly for texting and calling, rarely for surfing the web, showing my PDF tickets and for offline location-guided maps (a.k.a. Trekarta). That's it.
EDIT: that depends on the use case, though...
This is not a normal use case. I listen to music via wifi and have to charge my phone like twice a day or more.
