Set a bedtime reminder
On mobile devices, the bedtime reminder lets you set specific times when you want to get a reminder to stop watching videos and go to bed. You can have the reminder interrupt your video or wait until the video ends.
You can set a sleep timer if you want the video you’re watching to automatically pause after a certain time.
Note: For users aged 13-17 on YouTube, the bedtime reminder is set to On by default. For users 18 or over, the default setting is Off. All users can change this setting at any time.
This feature is only available on iPhones, not iPads.

- Tap your profile picture 👁 Image

- Tap General.

- If switching to On, select a start and end time for the reminder and tap OK.
