Quiet hours let you set a daily time window when Load Work pauses non-urgent load alerts. This is useful overnight or during hours when you are off duty and cannot act on a posting. Quiet hours apply to **every notification rule** and every channel (email, SMS). There is no per-rule override.

## How to set quiet hours

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings">
    Click **Settings** in the main navigation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Notifications">
    Find the **Notifications** section in Settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable Quiet hours">
    Turn on the **Quiet hours** toggle.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set your window">
    Choose the start time and end time for your quiet window. Use the time picker to set exact hours.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Save**. The window takes effect immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Practical tip

Set quiet hours overnight, for example **10pm to 6am**, so you are not woken by a load alert you cannot act on until morning. Alerts resume automatically at the end of your window. Loads that match during quiet hours are still collected and visible on your **/notifications** page when you check later.

## What quiet hours do not block

Quiet hours pause **non-urgent** load alerts. Critical account messages, billing notices, and password resets are not affected and may still arrive.
