Question: were your impacted devices actively charging while sleeping AND were there any weather events last night?
I am thinking maybe fluctuations in the power line might have caused the devices to shutoff and protect themselves. Usually, this is not an issue if you use a power surge protector between the wall and devices; or surge protection at the circuit breaker panel.
Also, would like to repeat what others have said about sharing iCloud accounts. It would be best to setup individual accounts for everybody and setup a “Family” if you want to share purchases (IAPs, Apple TV, …)
They were charging. We have surge protection on the circuit breaker panel. Could it have been too low a surge to flip the breaker but too high for the IOS devices? It didn't happen again last night, so thats a positive.
Thanks for the advice on Family accounts (you and everyone else who have mentioned it). I already have my daughter on a separate account, but will spilt my wife off for security reasons.
