(ECNS) – A sleep-aid app called "Early to Bed" ("woyaozaoshui"), which urges users to stop playing with their cellphones and go to sleep, is growing popular among smartphone users, the Changjiang Daily newspaper has reported.

The app provides "Defer" and "Go to sleep" options for a set bedtime. If users choose "Defer," every five minutes the app reminds them to go to bed until they click "Go to sleep." If users open other apps after choosing "Defer," it sends rude messages urging them to go to sleep.

If users stay up too late, the app also automatically releases preset information such as insulting comments about them on Moments, a software platform for Wechat that shares user information with friends.

The developer of the app says it helps solve the "universal problem" of people using cellphones at bedtime, rather than falling asleep, and helps users improve their sleep habits.

A user surnamed Lu said the app clogged up his phone with a number of demands to "Defer," so he had no choice but to go to sleep.

An IT specialist surnamed Wang said he would never use it again. "It caused me insomnia, rather than helping me get to sleep early."
