Description
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!

Ratings and Reviews
Great sleep trainer + alarm clock
We tried two different sleep training clocks until we found this app. It has many different functions—naps, alarms, reading time, bedtime music—but is still straightforward. The moon indicates sleep; the sun signifies wake up. My daughter loves customizing the screens so it’s “hers.” The backgrounds and accoutrements are quite lovely, artistically rendered rather than generic clip art.
We use the app on the iPad, so it also serves as her nightlight, with dimmable options. Since we purchased the app, my daughter has slept in her bed through the night! I think it will also continue to provide good use as she gets older and school age, with the (customizable) gentle alarms and reading time functions (scheduled time before bedtime and/or after wake up).
Finally, the developer is thoughtful and really open to feedback. I contacted him to ask about a user preference, and he responded immediately, then rolled out an update a week later.
I highly recommend this app, one of the best app purchases!
Sun
Mine must have a bug because I have to manually set the moon every night. I was hoping it would automatically turn when I set it for bedtime. I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app. Restarted it several times and still nothing.
Changing my rating because Michael got in contact and promptly fixed the issue. Thanks again!! This app is now working perfectly and is such a great help!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for reaching out on this issue and for helping us find a fix 😊
Simple and straightforward
I love this app, it really helped my kiddo when she started school, the music for bedtime is relaxing, it has countdown stars (that can be customized to other things) to know if it’s closer to wake up time. It’s so simple but it helped with her understanding that if the moon is there she can sleep some more. This was the best solution I found to teaching her the time at 5 yrs old.
Developer Response ,
I'm glad your 5 year-old is finding our app useful and thank you so much for taking the time to review 😊
