And forgetting to turn YouTube off before sleeping has been a nightmare for all of us as either you will find a discharged phone with no alarms or you will wake up to some random video playing on YouTube that you obviously don’t want to see first thing in the morning.

The YouTube Sleep Timer feature will be released for both the iOS and Android versions of the application. The feature, when used, will show a countdown timer and once the time is up, it will automatically stop playing videos. Further, the device will go to sleep mode and the display of the phone will turn off. For the feature, you can choose the timer options provided by YouTube. Apart from that, you can also set it to pause after the current video.
