If she carries a purse, or otherwise can carry one extra item, a USB battery (looks like Amazon calls them "portable chargers") might deal with the issue. If the phone's running low in the day, just start it charging off the battery.
Then the problem just transfers to a new device that you have to remember to charge up instead.
There's actually a safety factor there. When Li-Ion (lithium-ion) batteries fail and suffer thermal runaway (fire), it's most commonly during charging. It's rare, but it does still happen. The rule is to avoid charging Li-Ion powered devices unattended. I do that at times myself, but I realize the risk and actually put things in a "charging pot" if unattended.
You don't need anything fancy to use as a charging pot, a ceramic casserole dish will do. If you're going to charge while asleep or out of the house it's not a bad idea to use some kind of containment.
Bringing back chamber pots one person at a time
I didn't know about that, now I'm scared.
Don't be scared, it's actually a pretty rare occurrence. Just be aware it can happen. Same thing with driving, accidents are rare, but wear your seatbelt.
Sometimes I fall sleep while scrolling or watching something in bed, so no overnight charge
No good for your health my guy
Because my smartphone with Li-Ion 3140 mAh battery lives 48-72 hours. No google apps (LineageOS), LTE is off (I use only WiFi), Bluetooth is off. Well, I use my phone mostly for texting and calling, rarely for surfing the web, showing my PDF tickets and for offline location-guided maps (a.k.a. Trekarta). That's it.
EDIT: that depends on the use case, though...
This is not a normal use case. I listen to music via wifi and have to charge my phone like twice a day or more.
