How to easily mute iPhone at night or while I sleep?

Hello,

I was wondering if there is an easy way to mute my iPhone 3G at night when I sleep? I usually dock it on the night stand next to my bed so it can charge. I also use it as my alarm clock so I need alarms to still work and to still hear phone calls in case of an emergency and work. I guess I need something that mutes all the other sounds such as email and sms. It keeps waking me up at night mostly with email that is not an emergency.

I have been turning off all the sounds in settings>sounds but that is getting old and I forget sometimes to turn them back on. I also can mute it because calls will be muted too.

Any suggestions?

iPhone 3G, iPhone OS 3.0, Usually docked at night

I found something while searching around that looks to be perfect. It's called Silent Night. People in other forums say it works great especially when using a dock. I went ahead and ordered one. The price is perfect if it makes it so my iphone doesn't wake me up anymore at night. It's suppose to automatically mute notification sounds when docked but still allow calls and alarms...exactly what I need. I found it here:

I'll post back when I get it in the mail and try it out. Fingers crossed!

I promised to post back after I received the Silent Night so here you go.

I got the Silent Night in the mail yesterday afternoon (super fast shipping) and it works great! Definitely worth the money. I'm very happy with it and it's super small. I got several emails last night and not one woke me up. This thing is great. It does exactly what it says and looks awesome in my dock (can't even tell it's there). Thumbs up and recommended if you don't want notifications waking you up at night. When you undock it, all the notifications work again....very convenient for those of us that forget to turn them back on after turning them off in the settings.
