## What is Sleep Lantern?

'Sleep Lantern' turns your iPad and iPhone into a calming animated night light. This app is Ad-free, so it is suitable for everyone. 

Inspired by old fashioned paper lanterns, our dreamy atmospheric scenes are lovingly animated with soothing soundscapes that help relax you before bed. 

Choose a timer setting from 5 to 60 mins and the app will slowly fade out and gently shut off. 

Research from parents told us that what they were really looking for was something ‘non stimulating’ to help their children wind down for the day. So we created Sleep Lantern. 

Choose a scene, sit back and immerse yourself in our dreamy atmospheric worlds. 

Free scenes included:

- Silent light 
- Desert balloons
- Snow globe
- Lotus

Silhouette Dreams Pack (Upgrade)

- Boy blowing bubbles
- Steam Train
- Tree swing
- Ice skating
- Cats in Ferris wheel
- Raining Cats
- Cosmic Hourglass
  

SETTING UP YOUR TIMER

Using our built in timer works in conjunction with your iPad settings.

To make sure the app shuts down, choose 2 minutes in your settings:

Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto-Lock > 2 Minutes 


ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This app is the beginning of a partnership between Frosby Apps and Alison Russell - a professional English silhouette artist. 

Alison was taught the Victorian art of silhouette cutting by her grandmother at an early age. Using just scissors and paper, she cuts peoples' profiles at events - the result is magic!

If you'd like to see more of her work and commissions, please visit her website: www.alison-russell.co.uk

### 4/5 — Great emergency nightlight for my 4 year old

*2025-10-26*

I didn’t think to pack a night light for a week trip and my 4 year old was having a really hard time falling asleep in a hotel room. I’m really glad I searched through all the nightlight apps in the store until I found this one because it was pretty much perfect! My son liked picking out a different scene each night and the gentle fading of light helped him fall asleep. 

My only complaint is that the getting access to the info section was a bit tricky. It takes several tries to get the 2-finger swipe lock to open. I’d also like it if there was a way to child-lock the scene and brightness/sound settings once they’ve been selected (we used guided access but an in-app feature would be nice).
