Set a sleep timer

When you set a sleep timer, you can fall asleep watching videos and have them automatically pause after a certain time.

If you want to be reminded when it’s time to go to bed, you can set a bedtime reminder.

 Use Sleep Timer to manage your experience on YouTube feat. Crystal Mae 💤 ⏲️

Get started

  1. Go to the video you’d like to watch.
  2. Click Settings  in the player.
  3. Click Sleep Timer .
  4. Select how long you want the timer to run before your video automatically pauses.

You can follow the same steps to adjust your timer once it has started.

You’ll get a silent notification when your video gets paused. If you’re still awake and want to watch more, you can reset the timer.
