Google-owned Youtube Monday started rolling out a ‘sleep timer’ feature to its music streaming service YouTube Music. The sleep timer feature could be useful for those who like to fall asleep while listening to music.

The benefit of the sleep timer feature is that the music player can automatically stop playing after a while so that users do not have to worry about the continuous playback of music on the earphones or speakers when falling asleep.
