Set a sleep timer long enough to fall asleep with a margin, usually 30 to 60 minutes, and let it fade out rather than stop suddenly. If you wake when sound stops, let it play until you stop it instead.
How long to set it
Long enough to fall asleep, with time to spare. If you usually fall asleep within twenty minutes, 30 or 60 minutes leaves a margin. If you wake in the night and want the sound back, start it again with a fresh timer.
Fade out or stop
A sound that stops suddenly can be noticeable in a quiet room. Hush can fade it out at the end of the timer instead: turn on Fade out with timer in Settings.
Adding time
If you are still awake as the timer runs down, Add 15 minutes extends it without starting over. The time already played still counts.
Timers in Hush
Every timer option is free:
- Presets of 15, 30, 60 and 90 minutes.
- Any length from 1 minute to 12 hours, on hour and minute wheels.
- Until I stop, for sound with no end.
- A timer chosen while paused waits until you press play.
- Widgets and Shortcuts can start a sound with a timer.
Timer or all night
Both are reasonable. Some things to weigh:
| Timer with a fade | Until I stop | |
|---|---|---|
| Good if | You fall asleep easily and like a quiet room later | You wake when sound stops, or noise outside comes and goes all night |
| Watch for | Waking when the room goes quiet | Volume: keep it low for a whole night |
| In Hush | 1 minute to 12 hours, fade in Settings | Plays until you press pause |
If you wake in the night
Start the sound again with a fresh timer rather than raising the volume. Many people find a shorter timer works on a second start, because they fall back asleep faster. Choosing a sound for sleep covers the sound itself.
