Here’s something I didn’t know. I know it now. -_^
I always figured something like a sleep timer existed but as I’ve learned from my iPhone just because something should exist doesn’t mean it does.
An example being when the iPod application didn’t support lyrics. I LOVE having lyrics on my iPhone why wouldn’t my iPhone do it? It was lame.
Luckily lyrics support came with a software update and I was appeased.
What I discovered last night has probably been there since the beginning. If it wasn’t, than it’s there now. So, if you have the most recent software update you should “take advantage”.
Anyways, I was listening to the iPod and was falling asleep. I decided I wanted the iPod to sleep in 30 or so more mins because I figured by then I’d be asleep myself.
I thought to myself, “How the heck do I do that?”. I figured I wanted the impossible.
Low and behold I decided to check out the clock application anyways.
From inside the clock app there are four options at the bottom of the screen. There’s an option for a world clock, an alarm, a stopwatch, AND a timer! A timer?! Just what I needed.
When I went to check out the timer application I noticed a “When Timer Ends” button. When you choose it you get a list of all your custom ringtones as well as apple’s built in chimes. You also get an option called “sleep ipod”. I chose it set it for 30mins and started to let myself drift off to sleep.
Obviously my plan wasn’t perfect. I discovered my plan wasn’t perfect at one point during the night when I received a text message. I was alerted through the earphones. Yikes! Perhaps if I use this method again I’ll put the phone in airplane mode.
Alternatively you would think you’d be able to set an alarm to use the iPod music. You can’t however. I’m sorry.
Let’s write letters! :p
