Have you ever fallen asleep while watching a YouTube video, only to wake up with your history filled with auto-playing videos? If so, you might benefit from a sleep timer, and YouTube is now testing just that feature.
A Sleep Timer allows you to set a specific amount of time after which playback will automatically pause. This feature is useful for ensuring that videos or music stop playing after you’ve fallen asleep or when you don’t want playback to continue indefinitely.

However, there are a few exceptions. This feature is currently only available to Premium subscribers, it is still in the experimental phase, and the test will only run until September 2.
After that, the feature may either become a permanent part of YouTube or disappear entirely—there’s no way to know for sure at this point.
If you’re a YouTube Premium subscriber and want to try out the sleep timer, you can enable it by clicking HERE. Once activated, you’ll find the timer option in the settings menu while watching a video on your phone or desktop.
You can set the timer to stop playback after a certain interval, making it easier to drift off without worrying about endless videos playing through the night. Let’s hope this feature sticks around beyond the test period!
