Sleep timer

How to use the online timer

Sleep-related timing covers more than just nodding off — it includes the wind-down beforehand, the length of a daytime nap, and meditation specifically shaped to ease the transition into rest, and each of these behaves quite differently from a normal daytime timer. A nap, for instance, is deliberately kept short enough to avoid the grogginess of deep sleep, which is the opposite goal of an overnight sleep.

This collection includes an evening wind-down routine built to signal an approaching bedtime through a consistent sequence of calming steps, a short restorative nap sized to avoid sleep inertia, and a longer meditation designed to be interrupted by actually falling asleep rather than finished in full alertness. None of them are about forcing sleep on command — they're about setting up the conditions that make it more likely.

Choose the one that matches what you're after, dim the lights, and let the timer run without checking it repeatedly, since that alone can be enough to keep a restless mind awake.
