How to Set the Spotify Sleep Timer on Android

While the sleep timer is clearly meant for use during bed time, it can be used to stop Spotify music for any occasion. Here is how you turn it on.

Reasons to Turn On the Spotify Sleep Timer

Anytime you open the Spotify app and turn on a mellow or relaxing playlist in the evening, you may want to also turn on the sleep timer, just in case. Making sure the music stops after you’ve drifted off to sleep isn’t just for personal wellness so the noise doesn’t wake you up in the middle of the night. There are a few reasons it might be good to add a timer when listening to Spotify at night, including:

How to Turn Off the Spotify Sleep Timer

After you’ve turned on the Spotify sleep timer, you may want to change the duration, or turn it off completely. This can be done in a similar fashion to setting it up, and will stop the app from turning music off or stop it after a different amount of time.
