Description from store

Tired of waking up to the podcast or music you were playing last night on Youtube? Long periods of listening time can not only affect your sleep quality, but will also damage your ears. This extension is here to help! Simply click and set a time for your Youtube or Youtube Music video to end, and relax!

--------------------------------Notes ------------------------------------
* Runs only when you are on Youtube and Youtube Music sites.

* Runs on manifest v3, please update your Chrome browser to the latest version for a smoother experience.

* If the video is paused, then the timer will set it on play; if the video is playing, then the timer will pause it once time is up.

* There is an arbitrary amount of delay for the timer due to Google's Alarms API restriction. This is something unavoidable when developing in Chrome's mv3 ecosystem, we would appreciate your understanding in this matter and not use the sleep timer as an accurate timer. If you would like to avoid the delay, please load the extension unpacked by following instructions here: https://github.com/snoringriceball/youtube-sleep-timer

* Please report any issues here -> https://github.com/snoringriceball/youtube-sleep-timer/issues

* See here for a list and explanation of the permissions we collect: https://github.com/snoringriceball/youtube-sleep-timer#readme

Hendra Prasetya 2025-06-16: It won't work if the YT music is not on active tab.
Rahul Rameshbabu 2024-06-24: Thank you so much! Very useful to stay focused during work.
Jared Schaffer 2024-02-08: So simple and useful, thank you.
Scott Otterson 2024-01-13: 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.

박준홍 2023-02-28: 잘 작동합니다. 간결하고 거의 완벽합니다. 자기 전에 타이머를 설정하면, 영상이 약속대로 중지되고 Windows 10의 절전 모드가 잘 실행됩니다.

Atrocious Vengeance 2022-02-13: It was working well, but since the update a few days ago it's stopped working. 5 stars for my experience before the update. Will uninstall and re-install in few days unless I get comfortable with another extension. Thank You to the Devs, hope it gets fixed quick. Chrome Version 98.0.4758.82 (Official Build) (64-bit) Edit: I downloaded it from Github. It's working outstandingly brilliant again.

Cross 2022-02-12: Doesn't work after Chrome update. Timer doesn't show any countdown. On Version 1.35.101 Chromium: 98.0.4758.87 (Official Build) (x86_64) on OS X El Capitan Version 10.11.6 Edit: The new extension on their github page works (gotta download the zip file, unzip it, then load unpack it in the chrome extension manager)

Markus Kettner 2022-02-10: Also broke for me. Got a notification in Chrome that the app needs new permissions, gave them. Now when I enter a value for the countdown and hit start, the value field clears and nothing happens. Version 98.0.4758.80 (Official Build) (x86_64) on macOS 11.6.3

Darko Juvan 2021-02-06: Simple and good, but controls on a tablet are too small and hard to control with your fingers. Fix that and this is a 5 star extension.
