I moved mine to my ensuite!
Once I'm up out of bed... I good.

I recently picked up Night Stand, a rather pretty clock/alarm app. It's good looking, but requires your iPhone to be connected if you want to keep the display on.

Does the Apple alarm still work while it is running - or do you need to use their built in alarm function?

Default Sleep Timer Too!

Another thing that I didn't realise (until I went looking for an app on the appstore then thought I should see if the iPhone can already do it) was that you can use your iPhone to put you to sleep to music too, then turn off with a sleep timer.

Just start playing your "sleep" playlist you put together (or any music), then go into clock, Timer and set it as shown (adjusting the time to count down for your specific preference):

Click the image to open in full size.

It keeps your iPhone on, but stops playback of the "iPod" section - Very cool!

Regards,
Shane.
