Have you ever fallen asleep with the TV blaring all night, only to wake up feeling groggy and unrested? You’re not alone. Millions rely on streaming services for comfort before sleep, but leaving your TV on overnight can seriously disrupt your rest. Here’s where Google TV’s anticipated upgrade—a proper sleep timer—steps in to revolutionize our nighttime viewing habits and potentially enhance sleep quality.

Android TV has long supported a basic sleep timer, but Google TV is reportedly planning to add a more refined, user-friendly sleep timer experience for the first time ever (source). If you’re wondering why this seems like a small feature to celebrate, consider the data: over 60% of adults admit to watching TV right before bed. Yet, continuous screen exposure into the night can sabotage your circadian rhythms due to blue light and stimulation.
