YouTube Sleep Timer - Automate Video Play/Pause on YouTube

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.

Thank you so much! Very useful to stay focused during work.

So simple and useful, thank you.

Useful. An improvement would be to save the time, so it's not necessary to type it in every time. Once the time is saved, ie would be nice if the timer just started when I clicked the YouTube Sleep Timer icon. Adjusting the time would be possible by right clicking on the icon.
