Sleep Sounds Timer
A visual timer for your wind-down routine.
Many people fall asleep listening to music, podcasts, or audiobooks - but forget to set a timer, meaning content plays all night and disrupts sleep. This tool is a simple visual timer: set it for 15, 30, or 60 minutes (or a custom duration), and the screen dims to black when the countdown ends. Use it as a reminder to stop your phone’s playback, turn off a bedside speaker, or simply mark the end of your wind-down. It does not play any sounds itself - that is on purpose. The timer is fullscreen, device-compatible, and entirely offline once loaded. Set it, place the phone face-down on the nightstand, and let the countdown do its work.
The Science
Sleep onset is easier with fewer environmental disruptors. A common sleep disruptor is audio content playing long past sleep onset, which causes micro-awakenings. A timed shutoff reduces this. The visual timer also serves as a psychological cue for the brain to begin winding down - research on sleep association shows that consistent pre-sleep routines measurably speed sleep onset.
