A Notification Schedule is also in the works.  This feature will allow you to choose the exact days and times which you wish to receive notifications, so you won’t be inundated with them when you’re trying to sleep, for example.

You can enable this feature by clicking on:  Settings > Notification Schedule > Allow Notifications > Custom.
