Google TV might finally be getting a sleep timer—which means no more jolting awake at 3 AM to the blaring trailer of whatever show Netflix thinks you should watch next. The feature, which is reportedly in the works, would let users set their TV to turn off automatically after a certain time, sparing them the dreaded autoplay surprise.
Editor’s Note: If you’ve ever dozed off during a late-night binge only to be rudely awakened by an auto-playing ad or trailer, this is a small but meaningful upgrade. Sleep timers are a basic feature on many devices, so it’s about time Google TV caught up—especially since autoplay trailers are practically a universal annoyance. It’s a win for anyone who values both convenience and uninterrupted sleep.
