Sun to Moon Sleep Clock

Star-countdown kids clock with customizable sleep sounds and alarms.

Sun to Moon Sleep Clock is a sleep trainer app for kids, helping them learn when it’s time to sleep and when it’s time to wake up. 26 stars are removed at regular intervals throughout the night, to help visualize how long it is until morning. The app is super-simple to set up but can be customized with sleep sounds, wake-up sounds and various settings for naps and bedtime routines.

The Sun and Moon characters can be kitted-out with costumes and accessories from their respective shops. All these items are freely available by default, but an optional 'Snooze Rewards' system can be enabled that rewards kids with 'Snooze Coins' the longer they stay in bed. When active, values are displayed next to shop items and the virtual coins they've earnt can be swapped for 'gifts' for Sun and Moon.

Wake-up times can be set from the settings page or by tapping the orange digit buttons on the main daytime screen. Hitting 'Goodnight' triggers an immediate sunset (bedtime). Three taps to Moon’s nose triggers an out-of-schedule sunrise after a preset delay or an immediate sunrise can be triggered by tapping his nose 3 more times - perfect for one-off naps or mornings when the scheduled wake-up time just isn’t going to happen!
