I leave mine in a little felt and leather "valet" thingie on the bookshelf next to my bed (not on my nightstand bec I keep a water cup there at night, this is slightly higher than that in the event of a spill). I use mine as my primary alarm, and have a 'regular' alarm clock as backup, set about 20 min after my phone alarm, the absolute latest I can get up and still have time to spackle and do my hair and look like I didn't just fall out of bed and put on the cleanest smelling clothes. I mean, that's what I still do, but at least I take more time usually to smell them and febreze them first. I usually charge every other night. I put my phone on airplane mode at night, other than weekends I know I need to be reachable, then I just put it on dnd and tell anyone who will need me to call twice. That way I hear it and even if they need me in a text I will hear it and get up.
