TUAW Tip: Going to sleep with the iPhone

WoOO! I hate waking up to a dead battery! Thanks for the tip.

i dont know if its cause i have a jailbroken ipod with the video and music apps combined like on the iphone or what but i have the sleep ipod feature

Hello!
This is the way I am going to sleep:
I have written an app to act as a night clock, playing music to fall asleep, fade that music out and last but not least an alarm clock management (similar to the builtin alarm clock). Of course the alarm clock slowly fades in the alarm music...
Sadly I cannot push my app to the AppStore because with the SDK I have no access to the iPod library.
At the moment the Songs for the sleep timer (Jack Johnson) and the alarm clock (from soft to hard) are integrated in the app...
If Apple allows to access the iPod, I'm going to release it...

I have used this trick ever since I got my iPhone but I use an under pillow speaker. I have one that I bought at Radio Shack a long time ago and I take it with me wherever I go.

I always fall asleep to an audio book and my wife can't hear a thing.

My old 2nd gen iPod has a "wake to music" option. It really baffles me that my shiny new iPod Touch doesn't.
Maybe if more people let Apple know they want the option to wake up to music, they'll finally do something about it:

I use skullcandy full metal jacket in-ear headphones, and set the timer at about 3 hrs. Some nights I have the alarm to wake up set as well...LOL. Soon Apple will be controlling our sleep patterns in iPhone 5.0 software, complete with hypnotic suggestions that you can purchase in the App store to help you self actualize!

my Samsung from a few years had a great feature called "Auto-Power On" so you could use it as an alarm clock. Set the alarm, turn the phone off, and it would power on in the morning and the alarm would go off. Pretty cool and something Apple should have been on years ago even with an iPod.

Maybe in 3.1???

Mark, congrats on reading April '09 Mac|Life and plagiarizing their article from pg 37.

This brings up a good point. I'm in a position now of being "on-call" at work, and need to find a good alarm clock/speakerphone dock for the iPhone. I want something I can dock the iPhone in to charge, and that has controls on it to answer the phone when it rings and play it through the speakers. To me, this seems like a no-brainer, but all I've found are alarm clocks that turn off the phone function when docked.

I don't think there's a solution that acts like a speakerphone extension and a clock.

Sort of on the topic since it deals with iPhone and sleep.

Anyone know if there is an app that will turn off the push emails each night at a certain time? I like getting my email instantly during the day, but after ten I don't want to get them anymore. Yet, I still have to have my phone nearby and turned up in case of an emergency with the kids.

Any thoughts?
