In Windows Mobile you can modify your sound profiles to your likings. Most phones come with several default profiles but you can edit these so they work for you. On the Shadow there are five profiles Normal, Vibrate, Silent, Outdoors, and Automatic (accessible by holding down the Home button). I decided to change my Outdoors to a Sleep profile. Here is how that was accomplished.

Go to Start > Settings > Profiles

From this screen, select the profile you want to customize and select Menu > Edit

From here you can change the name of the profile to whatever you want as well as changing the different settings. For this profile all I wanted was for the alarm to sound off without any reminders or calls coming through. To achieve this I changed Ring Volume, Reminder Volume, and Notification Volume to off. Now I don’t have to worry about errant calls or reminders waking me up while I am getting some precious Z’s.

EDIT: If you want your phone to automatically silence itself when in a meeting that is on your calendar, simply change the profile to Automatic.
