This really isn't about parental controls for a child but rather for me. I work a 2nd/3rd shift which is 3pm-12am and get home around 12:30 am. I have no problem with not watching tv or using my laptop when I get home but the iPad is another story. It's very easy to use the iPad in bed and read or watch a movie. Before I know it it is 3:30am and then I find it very difficult to wake up in the morning.

So, is there an app that has controls that can prevent usage of the iPad during specific times? Say I set it for no usage between 1am and 5am. So that would mean that I would have to set any app that runs in the background before 1am.

Does anything like that exist?
 
not as far as I know. I don't think apps have the "power" to control the device in that way. Sorry.
