My partner and I both have wireless chargers so we essentially start charging at the same time every night. He has a nicer phone than me even. However he also has Twitter Instagram Facebook etc etc etc on his phone so it lasts about half the time mine does with none of that garbage.
I just turn it off, and it generally need to recharge in the next day afternoon.
I wfh and charge during work
I charge my phone during the day while at my desk. The grid mix during the day is mostly solar where I live so it's green, and when I'm not working from home, it's free electricity.
I got a Oneplus that charges at 65w so I don't have to leave it plugged in overnight. I just charge it 15min while shaving or whatever.
Because I can charge it in my car, at my desk in the office or with my battery pack when I am out.
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...
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.
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...
