iOS 10 brought a lot of little things. One of these features was tucked under the new “Bedtime” tab in the redesigned Clock app (that dark mode looks amazing though). Wake Alarm feature is simple. Basically, you tell the Clock app what time you usually wake up, how much time you’d like to sleep and the app will take care of the rest.

Here’s how to use this feature to create a strict sleep routine.

Then select how many minutes before your usual bedtime would you like a reminder that it’s time to go to bed. This will show up as a silent notification and you can decide to go to bed at that time or snooze the reminder.
