You mean this one? Don't worry, aliens are not interested in him at all... neither is your government, or anyone with a shred of sanity...

No: When I retire for the night, I only tell my firewall to block ALL in and outgoing connections.

Oh, wow.

No. I would also forget it. One of my friends do it, but we tease him and call him the paranoia prince.

Yes, I do. It's a known fact modern devices are government trackers and, just like owls, are night operators, deploying all the shady spying scripts past midnight when you sleep.

Router ON at night? Yeah, no thank you, I like my privacy PRIVATE!!!!!!!!!!111

I agree. I turn it off at night. Or when I go out. Only my computer is connected to the modem. No more device.

Am I crazy for thinking how disruptive this could be (especially in a highly populated area)? Your Wi-Fi turning on and off might cause conflicts with other wireless networks depending on available channels etc. Also, unless you are using a vpn/dns service, wouldn't all the spy apps queue all the logs and wait until you are off of your home network/wifi comes back? I get that you are protecting yourself why you sleep I guess though.
