iPad screen brightens while it is asleep.

[Irene]

If my iPad is near my bed during the night it lights up the room, presumably due to Notification alerts. I have it in a leather case with a cover, not the Apple magic cover. Is there a way other than powering it off, to avoid this?

face the iPad downwards, or either turn your Brightness down before bed and turn it back up whenever you're up and going the next day, besides that there's no way to disable Notifications lighting up the display, sorry
