sleep timer

Delayed power cutoff

A sleep timer is a feature on electronic devices that automatically shuts them off after a set period.

Common on televisions, radios, and music apps, it lets users fall asleep to content without leaving devices running all night: I set the sleep timer for thirty minutes.
