How to Sneak on Your Phone at Night

Last Updated: January 22, 2023

This guide will tell you how to sneak your phone without being caught!

Method 1

Method 1 of 3:

Planning

1
Know when your parents go to bed. Make sure that you use your phone at least an hour after they fall asleep, and stop playing half an hour before they wake up. People tend to be more alert when they've just gone to bed.
2
Hide your cell phone somewhere. Fully charge your phone, shut down or switch to silent mode, then put it in a place where your parents won't spot it.
- If your cell phone is kept by your parents, better get it after they go to bed. Make sure to remember the exact place from where you took your phone — returning it to a different place will attract your parents' suspicion. When going outside of your room, avoid squeaky floors.

Sleep as usual. Avoid looking suspicious, otherwise your parents will ask you what's going on.
- Set off an alarm clock if you want to sleep first and play afterwards.

Method 2 of 3:

Sneaking

1
Dim the brightness of your phone. If the screen is too bright, that is bad for your eyes and will attract the attention of your parents.
2
Open your school's website or any educational stuff. Switch to it in case your parents come in, and you aren't able to hide everything.
3
Have fun with your cell phone! You can play online games, surf websites, or even chat with friends.
- Get yourself a snack or drink when you really need them. Remember to hide the phone in a safe place.
- Do not drink milk. Or else you'll be drowsy.
- Pay attention to mobile phone safety — if you get a virus, your parents will probably know you played with it last night.
4
Avoid headphones. You have to listen carefully if anyone is outside your room. If you need headphones, put on one side of it.
5
Use a lie if you get caught:
- "I forgot to switch off my phone last night. Someone texted me and the noise woke me up. I'm going to delete the text right now."
- "I woke up for a glass of water. Suddenly I remembered that I haven't completed my online assessments. I've been working on it.
6
Clear browsing history.
7
Put everything back to their original place. Don't make any noise. Go back to your bed and have a good sleep.

Don't visit inappropriate websites. It will make it worse if you get caught, and it may give you bad thoughts that you may not be able to get out of your head!

Spy tools can reveal that you used your phone at night. If you have an Android, reset it before sneaking so there's less chance of getting caught.
