Drift Off to Sleep With iTunes & New Sleepytime 1.1.2

Have you ever wanted to listen to music as you drift off to sleep, and have the music turn itself off after you've made it to the land of Nod?
Most clock radios can do this, of course, but if you want to play music from your Mac until you fall asleep, it's more complicated.
Simplifying this process is the idea behind Sleepytime (Mac App Store link), a nifty application that can rock you to sleep with your favorite tunes.
Fire up iTunes and start playing whatever you want to listen to, and then launch Sleepytime.
Choose how long you want iTunes to play (in minutes, hours, or even days), as well as the duration of the fadeout that occurs after that time (in seconds or minutes).
Finally, you can opt to have Sleepytime display a soothing black backdrop with track information while iTunes plays.
Set a time to wake up, choose a playlist, and decide whether you want the "alarm" to start at full volume immediately or to fade in so you won't be jolted awake by the sudden sound.
