How to automatically stop music on the iPhone

How many times has it happened that you’ve plugged in your favourite playlist on the iPhone and ended up catching a few winks? Or at times you want to go to sleep while listening to music. Chances are it happens more often than not. What it also does is that it drains your iPhone battery unnecessarily and you perhaps miss out on a few favourite tracks as well. In order to avoid this, there’s a nifty feature tucked away in the iPhone. Both the iPhone and the iPad come with a built-in sleep timer feature right inside the Clock app. Notably, it works with Apple Music as well as third-party streaming apps like Gaana.
