How to use the sleep timer
- Start some sleep music or a sleep sound below (or any song on the site).
- Choose how long you want to listen, or stop after the current song.
- Put your phone down and relax. In the last minute the volume fades out gently, then the music and sounds stop.
Music and sleep
Many people fall asleep faster with slow, quiet music or a soft steady sound. Calm music around 60 to 80 beats per minute matches a resting heart rate, and gentle noise masks small sounds that might keep you awake.
A sleep timer means the music does not play all night. It stops after you fall asleep, which saves battery and avoids waking you up later when a louder song comes on.
You can also find the sleep timer in the music player at any time: tap the moon button.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the sleep timer with any song?
Yes. The timer works with every song and playlist on Ricky Box Music, and with the ambient sounds.
Does the music stop suddenly?
No. During the last minute the volume fades out slowly, then playback pauses.
Can I add more time?
Yes. Tap "+10 min" while the timer is running, or choose a new time.
Does it work when my phone screen is off?
On most Android phones and computers, yes. On iPhone, keep the screen on or use the timer on a computer, because Safari may pause web pages when the screen locks.
