Sleep Meditation Timer
Set aside a few minutes before bed without a bell waiting at the end. This timer stays bell-free from start to finish. Optional soft background noise fades to silence during the final minute.
Ready
Your screen may lock automatically, but the timer will keep running.
Set up a quiet ending
Choose a duration, then select Change below the settings summary. Leave soft filtered noise on if you want a steady sound, or uncheck it for a completely silent session. Set your device volume low before pressing Start. No audio plays automatically when you open this page. Pausing stops the background sound; resuming restarts it for the remaining time. Reset stops the sound and cancels the unfinished session.
The fade is scheduled on the browser's audio clock. During a one-minute session, it fades throughout the minute; during a longer session, it stays quiet and steady until the final minute. Browsers may stop sound when a phone locks or a tab is suspended. Keep that limitation in mind if you want continuous playback. This is a short practice tool, not an alarm or a promise that you will fall asleep.
A ten-minute wind-down script
Read these steps before starting, or have someone read them aloud. This is a written practice, not recorded guidance; the suggested divisions do not trigger spoken prompts. With this timer there is no closing bell, so you can finish in your own time.
First two minutes: settle
Choose a position that is comfortable for resting. Let your hands land where they can stay without effort. Your eyes may close, or your gaze may soften. Notice the places where the bed or chair supports you. There is nothing else you need to arrange perfectly before beginning.
Next three minutes: notice support
Bring attention to your feet and legs. You do not have to make them relax. Notice whatever is already there: warmth, pressure, movement, or very little sensation. Gradually include your back and shoulders. If one area asks for a small adjustment, make it. Rest with the support beneath you for several ordinary breaths.
Next three minutes: leave the day unfinished
A thought about tomorrow may appear. You can acknowledge it without completing the plan now. Silently say, “Not something I need to solve in this moment.” Return to one place where the body is supported. Repeat only when it is useful, allowing long quiet spaces between the words. You do not have to push a thought away to stop working on it.
Last two minutes: fewer instructions
Let the words become less important. Feel one breath, one point of contact, or the quiet sound as it fades. If you are still awake at the end, there is no result to judge. You can continue resting, change position, or leave the practice. Nothing needs to announce that these minutes are complete.
Keep the practice separate from a sleep test
Checking whether you are sleepy can turn the timer into another task. Consider putting the screen out of your direct line of sight after starting. Choose a shorter duration if ten minutes feels like a commitment tonight. This page offers a way to spend the time gently; it does not assess or treat sleep difficulties.
