I was using my phones alarm settings and I had a big digital alarm clock radio on my nightstand. But I was only using it to take a look at the time. Time to throw the old thing out and use my phone to display the time. Choose from different clock styles and adjust the color, size, hue and brightness and even the background. Enjoy the stars, count them if you need help to get to sleep. Display a full moon or show the actual moon phase and adjust the size and brightness of the moon. Your screen will be turned on all night so keep your phone on your nightstand on a charger.
