Automatically Sleep Your iPhone When You Fall Asleep to Music

If you like falling asleep to music on your iPhone or iPod touch, here's a way to automatically put your iPhone to sleep so that it doesn't continue playing music throughout the night. The Clock app has a little known Timer feature.

Launch the Clock app and tap Timer. Set the timer to end in 1 hour, or whatever amount of time you'd prefer. Then, tap the "When Timer Ends" button. Above the list of alarm sounds you could choose to play when the Timer expires, select "Sleep iPod". Tap the "Set" button (in the top-right), then Start the timer.

Now, start your favorite playlist of soothing music and doze off. Your iPhone will go to sleep after a while, too.

Brilliant! I was going to buy an app for this, and this is so obvious that it's even better - thanks!!
