Power-saving tips from real people who’ve tried them
Many online users who had tried in similar methods commented with their own experiences. Some even reported significant savings from combining this habit with other little changes, such as unplugging the unused appliances.
“If the plug is already turned off, you should unplug it too, Miss. This is what I’ve learned. Also, check for any plug points that are still switched on but not in use. If you want to charge your phone or power bank, the best time is after 10PM. This is what I tried and noticed a change in my electricity bill.”

“A friend of mine in electrical engineering told me: if you’re not using an electrical appliance, unplug it from the socket — don’t just switch it off. You can save a lot of electricity that way.”
