After making this Instructable, I realized it was rather inconvenient having to turn it off before going to bed. Ideally I would have it run as I fall asleep, and then turn off after a certain amount of time. So I decided a quick fix for this problem would be to get a mechanical outlet timer. I looked online and ended up ordering one from the same place I got the LED strip, Banggood.com. The timer I got is nice because you can have as many "on" or "off" times as you want, and each "on" time must be at least 15 minutes. The timer also has a switch to bypass the timer and just turn it on, which is nice if I want it on at a time but don't want that time to be regularly programmed daily. Currently it is programmed to be on for 45 minutes around when I go to bed, so it's on as soon as I enter my room and stays on until shortly after I've fallen asleep. It also comes on at 6:15 and stays on until 6:45. This is because I wake up at 6:30 for school, so it's on when I wake up. It's amazing how much easier it is to wake up early with the calm lighting. It also prevents me fro having to turn on my bright bed side lamp, which is too bright when you have just woken up.

If you want to buy the timer, it can be found here for a low cost.
