Some people don’t get enough sleep, the 7-8 hours recommended at night. Fortunately, for such people, Apple made a new feature available in the Clock app of iPhone – named Bedtime.
This feature helps iPhone users get to bed on-time and track the schedule of their sleep. Also, it gives info that helps you sleep well on a consistent basis, as well as wakes you up at the right time.
This article will highlight how to use the new Bedtime feature in the Clock app to improve your sleep. Make sure you are on iOS 10 to implement the tips, no additional app installations needed.

How to Use Bedtime App on iPhone
The app will follow the pattern you defined during the setup. But if you want to switch if off for a night, launch the Clock app, tap “Bedtime”, and switch the slider off.
A large clock is there in the Bedtime menu; this can be used to adjust wake and sleep times by sliding the “alarm” and “wakeup” around the clock. This will adjust your wakeup times, so ensure this is set back up after weekend.
Bedtime records the sleep schedule and syncs it with the Health app. The sleep patterns can be viewed at the bottom of the screen as a graph too.
Bedtime is automated apart from these features. It’s a simple, no nonsense solution to getting a good night’s sleep.
