It's easy to lose track of time on TikTok. With users often complaining that they unwittingly have spent their whole night “scrolling”, the Chinese giant has decided to tackle this problem by launching, among other new features, alerts to push them to go to sleep.

It may seem rather surprising, but TikTok has decided to look out for ensuring that its users get enough sleep. If the platform has often been criticized for hooking users into watching an endless stream of short videos, the social network wants to work on its reputation by improving its moderation tools and in particular features aimed at managing screen time.
