SLEEP TIMER & BEDTIME STORIES
Set a sleep timer for 5, 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes, or pick "end of chapter" to stop at a natural break. Volume gradually fades in the final 30 seconds so silence doesn't jolt you awake. Free bedtime stories, relaxing poetry, and classic novels help you wind down — a great audiobook app for falling asleep.
