Tips & tricks
This sleep timer is a wind-down reminder, not a media player. It does not play music or videos — it simply, gently tells you when your chosen time is up, so the decision to actually go to bed is an easy nudge rather than a guess.
A consistent wind-down time is one of the simplest ways to improve sleep. Setting the same timer each evening turns "I should head to bed soon" into a clear, repeatable signal.
If you do want music to fade out at bedtime, start it in your own music app and set this timer alongside it as the reminder to stop — keeping the two separate keeps this tool simple and reliable.
Frequently asked questions
What does the sleep timer do?
It counts down a period you choose and then sounds a gentle reminder that it is time to wind down and head to bed. It is a habit cue, not a media player.
Does it play music or turn things off?
No. It deliberately does only one thing — remind you when your time is up. For music that fades out, start it in your own app and use this timer as the reminder to stop.
Will it still alarm if my screen is off?
Yes. The timer tracks real elapsed time and uses a background-safe alarm, so the reminder still fires with the screen off — just keep the tab open and your device off silent.
How long should I set it for?
Whatever fits your evening — many people use 30 to 60 minutes as a wind-down window before their target bedtime.
Can I use it for naps?
Yes. It works just as well as a simple nap timer — set a short duration and it will gently wake you.
Is the sleep timer free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up.
