Apple launched its highly anticipated Apple Music and Beats 1 radio music service last week.

If you like listening to music while going to sleep, then you can use sleep timer feature, which allows you to fall asleep to Apple Music or Beats 1 radio without it playing all night.

How to set a sleep timer on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  • Launch the Music app, and start listening to Beats 1 radio or the songs available on Apple Music.
  • Now launch the Clock app from your iPhone or iPad’s Home screen.
  • Tap the Timer tab.
  • Select the time after which you want Apple Music or Beats 1 radio to stop playing using the picker.
  • Tap on When Timer Ends.

Sleep Timer - Apple Music

  • Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the screen.
  • Tap Stop Playing from the list of options.

Sleep Timer - Apple Music

  • Tap Set at the top right corner.

Apple Music - sleep timer - set

  • Tap Start to activate the sleep timer.

That’s it. The sleep timer will start and will automatically turn off Apple Music or Beats 1 radio after the time set by you. If you take on an average half an hour to fall asleep, then set the Sleep timer for 30 minutes.

The only downside is that, the sleep timer isn’t a separate timer, so you will need to change it back to one of the Ringtones if you want to get an alarm when the timer ends.
