YouTube is trying to save your roommates from your late-night binges


The platform is trying out a new sleep timer feature for its Premium members.

Users can select any random video on YouTube, hit play, and head to the little settings icon where they can find the new "Sleep timer" option.

YouTube has been testing several new features lately, with the most recent one being intended to help creators serve up less disruptive ads.
