If you're the type of person who watches Netflix shows before you fall asleep, you might like what the streaming service is testing out. Some Android users are getting a sleep timer function via a new clock icon in the interface. It will come in handy if you don't want to miss a spot on a show or movie you're watching because you fell asleep while watching it, and it will help conserve your phone's battery, too.
When you are watching something and want to set a timer, you tap on the icon and select a time between 15, 30, or 45 minutes. Or you can opt for the app to stop playing videos after an episode or a film is done streaming. If users enjoy utilizing this feature, Netflix might consider a wider release. For now, it's available for adult profiles on the service.
