If you&#8217;ve changed your mind and want the music to keep going, tap Turn off timer at the bottom of the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which Timer Option To Pick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spotify gives you seven presets for music: 5, 10, 15, 30 and 45 minutes, 1 hour, and End of track. Podcasts swap the last one for End of episode, and audiobooks offer End of chapter. The choice is less about the number and more about how you want the audio to finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><td><strong>Option<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Best for<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What happens<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>A fixed time<\/td><td>Music or rain sounds you drift off to<\/td><td>Playback stops when the countdown ends, even mid-song<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>End of track<\/td><td>One last song before lights out<\/td><td>The current song finishes, then nothing else plays<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>End of episode or chapter<\/td><td>Podcasts and audiobooks<\/td><td>Audio stops at a natural break, so you don&#8217;t lose your place<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you fall asleep fast, 15 or 30 minutes is usually plenty. One hour is the longest option inside Spotify, and there&#8217;s a workaround further down if you need more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"551\" src=\"https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-4-1024x551.jpg\" alt=\"Spotify Sleep Timer How To Set It on Any Device\" class=\"wp-image-10364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-4-1024x551.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-4-300x161.jpg 300w, https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-4-768x413.jpg 768w, https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-4-1536x826.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-4-2048x1101.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Use the Sleep Timer for Podcasts and Audiobooks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Podcasts and audiobooks are quicker to set up than music. In the Now Playing screen, the timer has its own button next to the playback controls, so you don&#8217;t need to open the three-dot menu at all. Tap it, pick a length, and you&#8217;re done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For stories, the End of episode and End of chapter options are worth using. A fixed timer can cut off a narrator mid-sentence, while stopping at the end of a chapter gives you a clean place to pick up again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s a second reason to use it with audiobooks. Spotify Premium includes a set number of audiobook listening hours each month, and anything that plays while you&#8217;re asleep still counts. Spotify&#8217;s own <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/2022-08-02\/how-to-make-spotifys-sleep-timer-part-of-any-bedtime-routine\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">sleep timer guide<\/a> points out that the timer helps &#8220;reduce the risk of utilizing your audiobook hours&#8221;, which is exactly what happens if a book plays on for three hours after you&#8217;ve dozed off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-1-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Spotify Sleep Timer How To Set It on Any Device\" class=\"wp-image-10361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-1-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-1-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-1-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-1-2048x1154.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sleep Timer on Desktop, Wear OS and Speakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a long time the sleep timer was phone-only, and plenty of older guides still say so. Spotify now lets you control the timer from your mobile phone, the desktop app and a Wear OS smartwatch, and it can stop playback on &#8220;nearly any device, including speakers, TVs, and game consoles&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the desktop app, look in the Queue panel and open the three-dot menu of the track that&#8217;s playing. For podcasts and audiobooks, check the player controls at the bottom of the window. If you don&#8217;t see the option in either place, update the app and look again, because new features often arrive with an update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speakers and TVs work through your phone. Start playing, switch the output to the speaker or TV from the devices menu in the app, then set the timer on your phone the usual way. When the time is up, the speaker stops too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"565\" src=\"https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-3-1024x565.jpg\" alt=\"Spotify Sleep Timer How To Set It on Any Device\" class=\"wp-image-10363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-3-1024x565.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-3-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-3-768x424.jpg 768w, https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-3-1536x848.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Spotify-Sleep-Timer-How-To-Set-It-on-Any-Device-3-2048x1131.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Set a Timer Longer Than One Hour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spotify&#8217;s longest preset is one hour, but there are a few ways around it. On iPhone, the built-in Clock app can stop any audio for you. Apple&#8217;s guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/guide\/iphone\/set-timers-iph8241d6b2a\/ios\" rel=\"nofollow\">setting timers<\/a> covers the steps. Open Clock, tap Timers and set any duration you like. Tap When Timer Ends, scroll to the bottom and choose Stop Playing, then tap Set and Start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On any phone, End of track also works for long recordings. Some rain, fan and white-noise tracks run for an hour or more, and setting End of track on one of them gives you that full length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Premium listeners can also use <a href=\"https:\/\/support.spotify.com\/us\/article\/talk-to-spotify\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Talk to Spotify<\/a>, which accepts typed or spoken requests such as &#8220;Set a sleep timer&#8221;. Spotify labels it a beta for Premium users aged 18 and over, so it may not appear on every account yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<a class=\"bsmm-solid\" data-platform=\"spotify\" href=\"https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/spotify\" style=\"--bsmm-color: #1ED760; --bsmm-bg: linear-gradient(135deg, #2EEF77 0%, #16A34A 100%)\">\n\t\t<span class=\"bsmm-solid__bg-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><svg viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M12 2C6.477 2 2 6.477 2 12s4.477 10 10 10 10-4.477 10-10S17.523 2 12 2zm4.586 14.424a.622.622 0 0 1-.853.207c-2.338-1.428-5.275-1.75-8.736-.957a.622.622 0 1 1-.274-1.214c3.8-.87 7.05-.494 9.656 1.102a.622.622 0 0 1 .207.862zm1.213-2.71a.776.776 0 0 1-1.066.257c-2.684-1.65-6.786-2.03-9.764-1.112a.776.776 0 1 1-.458-1.482c3.42-1.054 7.955-.615 11.03 1.272a.776.776 0 0 1 .258 1.065zm.11-2.844c-3.21-1.912-8.508-2.087-11.564-1.155a.933.933 0 0 1-1.125-1.18c.205-.59.736-.884 1.344-1.07 3.51-1.07 9.38-.86 13.11 1.365a.933.933 0 1 1-.954 1.61z\"\/><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t<h3 class=\"bsmm-solid__title\">Want your tracks to actually get streamed?<\/h3>\n\t\t<p class=\"bsmm-solid__desc\">Real listeners.

Spotify added desktop control of the sleep timer, so guides that call it a mobile-only feature are out of date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I set the Spotify sleep timer for longer than an hour?<\/strong><br>Not inside the menu, where one hour is the longest preset. On iPhone, set a timer in the Clock app and choose Stop Playing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Will sleep music affect my Spotify Wrapped?<\/strong><br>It can if you play the same sleep playlist every night. Spotify Support says that if you exclude your nightly sleep music, those listens won&#8217;t affect personalized playlists like Discover Weekly and Wrapped. If you want to see <a href=\"https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/how-to-get-spotify-wrapped\/\">how Spotify Wrapped works<\/a> before December, excluding your sleep playlist from your taste profile keeps those nightly listens out of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why does Spotify keep playing after my playlist ends?<\/strong><br>That&#8217;s Autoplay, which plays similar songs once your queue runs out. Spotify&#8217;s Autoplay guide explains where to switch it off. On a phone, tap your profile picture, then Settings and privacy, then Playback. On desktop, it sits in Settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Can I ask Spotify to set a sleep timer for me?<\/strong><br>Yes, if you have Premium and you&#8217;re 18 or over. Talk to Spotify lets you type or say &#8220;Set a sleep timer&#8221;, though it&#8217;s still a beta and may not have reached every account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Does the sleep timer close the Spotify app?<\/strong><br>No. The timer stops playback, but the app stays open exactly where you left it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Set Up a Playlist That Ends Quietly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sleep timer works best with a playlist that&#8217;s built for bedtime. Start by turning Autoplay off, so the last song really is the last thing you hear. Then set End of track on the final song, or pick a fixed time that covers how long you usually take to drift off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, keep the playlist out of your listening profile. Open the playlist, tap the three dots and choose Exclude from your taste profile. Your recommendations will stay based on what you play during the day, not on rain sounds at two in the morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your favourite rain or fan recording isn&#8217;t on Spotify, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/buysocialmediamarketing.com\/blog\/how-to-add-songs-to-your-spotify-upload-your-music\/\">add your own songs to Spotify<\/a> as local files and drop them into the same playlist. That way the whole routine runs from one place.
