> There is absolutely no way to make YouTube stop playing after a set time - there's no sleep timer.

I have a Samsung routine that closes YT after 15 min.

    God Bless! I Really need this feature for years! Can't sleep without some podcasts and it's real jiu-jitsu to turn off the play right one second before I fall asleep.

I imagine that this effects what time you go to sleep as well as the overall quality of your sleep, which CAN have issues to your health in the long run if you're always sleeping badly.

              Those who are using their mobile before going to sleep, kindly try to avoid doing so.

                        We can use Digital wellbeing option and a set timer for any app to close after the given time

                          It is laughable how ancient the Youtube experience feels compared to other apps, while being made by a trillion dollar company. Atrocious.

                            So, the app will get the ability to go into sleep mode and close the screen when you fell asleep, leaving the wi-fi or cellular data active, close to your head to irradiate you all night. That's a good way to wake up with a headache, or in a best case a poor sleep.

                                I have another solution.do not take your phone to the bedroom before sleep.regular blue light exposure before sleep casues insomnia.besides,it is not healthy to have an idle phone with any sorts of active connection on your bedside during sleep.

                                  Revanced already has this feature for a very long time

                                    Look, the more I burned out of YouTube the more fake games getting advertised because of so called "Paid Customers", political ideologies my lower end and expectations.

                                    Seems like YouTube went far too lazy to get rid of them, even when I'm already turned off the game advertisements on the Ad Centre....
