Many people have the habit of lying in bed, turning off the lights, and playing music to fall asleep. The downside is that this can often lead to phone battery drain and cause jolts when you wake up. The good news is that you can easily schedule sleep timers to turn off music on your iPhone.
Why do you need to schedule music shutdown?
Have you ever drifted off to sleep and then woke up in the morning to find that you forgot to turn off the music? When you're someone who regularly listens to music or white noise to aid sleep, having a sleep timer is very useful. The primary reason for using the sleep timer feature is to avoid battery drain from leaving your phone running all night. The second reason is to prevent being jolted awake by sudden music during sleep.
