A countdown for winding down, resting or capping a nap before it turns into an hour.

What this one is for
- Dim, quiet interface
- Nap or wind-down lengths
- Alarm loud enough to wake to
Short rests need a hard boundary or they eat the evening. Set the length, dim the screen, and let the alarm decide when it ends rather than your judgement while half-asleep. It opens at 20:00; change that with the chips under the dial.
Worth knowing
- Fifteen to twenty minutes for a nap, ninety for a full sleep cycle.
- Dim the screen and put the phone face down before starting.
- Not a substitute for a phone alarm if missing it has real consequences.
Getting the most from the sleep timer
- Settle before you start itSit or lie down first, then press start. Beginning while still rushing wastes the first third.
- Choose the ending soundThe soft bell suits practice; silence suits a shared room. Both are one tap under the dial.
- Do not judge the sessionA restless block you sat through counts the same as a calm one. That is the whole practice.
