Some even allow notifications and messages to disrupt their sleep.

WTF is wrong with people!?

It's called working in IT. Gotta make sure those servers are up.

Bruh I work in IT (maintaining servers too) and my day ends at 5. You need a union. If you're on call literally all the time you should be getting paid overtime.

if this is the case, it should be in your contract, you should get paid for on-call duty and get a free SIM and/or phone for those notifications, so you can mute or shutdown notifications from your private SIM/phone

I don't know about you but I will not be taking after hours calls for work without being compensated for being available
