What is YouTube Sleep Timer?

YouTube Sleep Timer is a Chrome extension designed to improve your YouTube viewing experience. It lets you set a timer to automatically play or pause videos on YouTube or YouTube music. This can serve as a sleep timer for people who would like to fall asleep while listening to YouTube content without worrying about waking up to ongoing videos. Please note that the timer may have minor delays due to Google's Alarms API restrictions. The extension only works on YouTube platforms and requires the latest version of Chrome.

Tired of waking up to the podcast or music you were playing last night on Youtube? Long periods of listening time can not only affect your sleep quality, but will also damage your ears. This extension is here to help! Simply click and set a time for your Youtube or Youtube Music video to end, and relax!

--------------------------------Notes ------------------------------------

Runs only when you are on Youtube and Youtube Music sites.
Runs on manifest v3, please update your Chrome browser to the latest version for a smoother experience.
If the video is paused, then the timer will set it on play; if the video is playing, then the timer will pause it once time is up.
There is an arbitrary amount of delay for the timer due to Google's Alarms API restriction. This is something unavoidable when developing in Chrome's mv3 ecosystem, we would appreciate your understanding in this matter and not use the sleep timer as an accurate timer. If you would like to avoid the delay, please load the extension unpacked by following instructions here: https://github.com/snoringriceball/youtube-sleep-timer
