There are some days where we fall asleep in a jiffy and there are other days where we just stare at the ceiling waiting to slowly drift off to sleep. For the latter, I prefer using soothing music to put me to sleep. I used to use PowerAmp that has a built-in sleep timer. But I could no longer do this when I started using Spotify extensively. And I was disappointed that Google Play Music didn't have this feature either. So I had to look for an app that does this little job for me. And along came Sleep Timer.
Sleep Timer helps you fall asleep by slowly fading out the music after a specified period of time. It has a very beautiful interface with a big timer in the middle. There are two buttons in the bottom - the Start button will just start the timer (assuming the music is already playing in the background) and the Start & Player button will start the timer and open the player too (the default music player you've configured in the Settings). Once you've started the timer, the timer gradually changes colors and you have options to either 'Stop' the timer or to 'Sleep Now' in case you want to end the music.
Sleep Timer has a nice set of features. Apart from the obvious features like waiting for the track to end, the app also has a 'Shake to Extend' functionality wherein you can shake the phone to extend the timer for certain amount of time as configured in the Settings. You can also specify actions to be performed after going to sleep. Like, going to the home screen, turning off mobile data, WiFi or bluetooth, mute notifications or even launch custom actions. The app integrates well with Tasker and supports many music players including Google Play Music, Spotify, TuneIn Radio and even YouTube.
I love this app and I use it quite regularly. It works like a charm and would definitely recommend it to those who depend on some music to fall asleep to. :)
