Of all the bad habits I have, one I managed to kick is falling asleep with music. Yes, I used to go to bed with my earphones on and music playing until I was unable to listen to it. I read a lot of people do it - but I couldn’t stand waking up with cables all over my bed. I felt stupid for that habit.

Now we (I, actually) have a problem. There’s this new iPhone app, Decrescendo, which helps you falling asleep with your music, it’s “intelligent” and looks great on the Retina Display. Oh boy.

The app is very simple - I mean, what do you want from an app it’s going to work when you’re trying to sleep? The graphics are beautiful, and like I said look great on the new iPhone display. There’s a giant “Sleep button” on screen, which you have to tap to start a “new session” which will hopefully guide you through the process of sleeping with some nice music in the background.

There are some settings you can play with, though. First, playing time: you don’t want it to play music until 5 am.Also, you can choose between a constant decrease volume pattern or a louder late decrease one. If you want, you can tell the app to scrobble music to Last.fm.

I’ve used Decrescendo and it works. If you’re the type who needs music to fall asleep - well, you know what to do. It’s only $0.99 in the App Store.
