Do you have trouble remembering to go to sleep at a certain time? I know I do especially with sometimes bring work home with me and catching up on all the latest episodes of my favorite TV shows. Sometimes I end up going to bed way past when I should so it would help if I had a friendly reminder of when I should begin getting ready for bedtime based on when I have to wake up the next morning and how long I need to sleep for. To Bed from Tord Asnes does this and in a simple and elegant looking way.

The main purpose of To Bed is to tell you when you should go to bed based on a number of perimeters. First it will ask you what time you need to wake up daily and how long you plan on sleeping for. From there, it will alert you before it is time for you to go to bed. For instance, at default, it will set your sleep time for about 8 hours and alert your 30 minutes before it is time to go to bed. It does this via a notification on your lockscreen. That’s all it really does. It’s a simple way to remind yourself of when to go to bed. If you’re on vacation, you can turn off daily notifications from within the app as well if you don’t need to wake up during your normal work times.

Graphically, the app looks great. Very clean, colorful, and elegant looking. The user interface is very quick and very easy to get around and you can accomplish most actions with just a few clicks.

To Bed is an interesting app with a lot of potential, but there are definitely areas that can be improved on. For starters, the app assumes that no one works on the weekend and can just sleep in offering no alarms for those times. Also times can only be adjusted in 15 minute increments instead of allowing you to adjust them by the minute. However, despite these slight negatives, To Bed has potential to be more. This is only a 1.0 release so the developer can still make this app better. I like how it alerts you of when your sleep time is coming up and I’m impressed with how nice everything looks. It’s free right now so go give it a try.
