JAKARTA - The Spotify music player service has updated its features by embedding a sleep timer for iOS users. This feature allows users to automatically deactivate Spotify before falling asleep, while listening to a song.

Reporting from Endgadget, Spotify's sleep timer feature is based on the tendency of its users to play songs for more than six hours. Not infrequently Spotify continues to burn even though the user is asleep.

Meanwhile, according to Sleep Advisor, listening to music for hours while sleeping can affect the user's brain and psychological performance. For example, the heart rate and breathing that should be resting, will actually beat faster in tune with the tempo of the song you are listening to.

Even so, listening to music before bed is believed to improve the quality of sleep to be more restful. This happened, like a child to whom their parents used to sing lullabies.

Spotify looks at all the habits and possibilities of its device being used by its users. That's what underlies Spotify to present the sleep timer feature.

How to activate this feature is also fairly easy. Just open the Now Playing screen while listening to a song, tap the three dots in the upper right corner, then select the "Sleep Timer" option. You can set a timer between 5 minutes and 1 hour.

In the meantime, this feature will only be present in the Spotify update on iOS. This kind of feature can also be found in Apple Music, it's just that this music timer is not like Spotify, of course, because it can only be set from the Apple Watch application on the iPhone or iPad with the "Stop Playing" option in the "When Timer Ends" menu.
