I have to restart my iPhone to charge it?

It was sudden and I don't know what happened but I have to restart my phone to charge it. Note that I'm in a foreign country and need to use an adapter and I also have not tried any other chargers.

If you got youre iPhone in the USA, you may have problems charging the iPhone in other countries, as several countries have different voltage outputs than the US has. If you bought the iPhone in the country youre in, then try a different outlet (like at a different location). If that doesn't work, then take your iPhone to the nearest Apple Store and they will be able to help.

1.) try another charger.
2.) It's better for the life of the battery if you charge it when it is shut off, so instead of restarting it just shut it off before bed (if possible) and then charge it.
