THIS WEEK'S POWERTIP
Putting your iPod to sleep
By Dan Velasco
Here's a quick tip for those of you who like to sleep with your iPod. I don't mean "sleep" with it, I mean take it to bed with you. You know what I mean. There's nothing like the comforting warm glow of your iPod under the sheets at night. But when you wake up in the morning and find that it's dead because you fell asleep without turning it off, the sadness can be palpable. This is especially true if you have a long commute or a trip ahead of you and not enough time to charge it back to life.
This especially sucks for those of you like me without a car charger. I don't have a car charger because of the simple fact that I don't have a cigarrette lighter in my car. It came without it from the factory. Guess I don't trust myself not to smoke, even though I've never even tried it.
The cool thing about the iPod is that it has a sleep timer feature. This way, you can set a sleep timer for, say, 15 or 30 minutes and it will turn itself off after your brain has switched itself off.
To set the sleep timer, go to the main menu of the iPod (by pressing the Menu button) and then select Extras > Clock > Sleep Timer and choose a time. I used to set it for 30 minutes but then found that I usually fell asleep long before it shuts down, so now I set it for 15 minutes and am rarely awake when it turns itself off.
