Yes, Android also has a DND-mode with configurable exceptions: what type of message/call gets through, who gets through right away, or after how many repeat calls.

Further, you can schedule it or even trigger by certain calendar events. Very convenient if you have small children and don't want the random calls from grandparents or old friends checking in at inconvenient times (apparently if they don't have children but working a lot they don't consider 9pm to be "a bad time" - how should they?).

We used Airplane mode at nights before (even before we had kids), but were stressed about missed emergencies from relatives and stopped doing that.

Disclaimer: I get approx. 2 calls per week, and this is mostly businesses calling back, etc. I still don't want to miss emergencies though.
