Request sleep timer to main menu 4k stick
I use the roku stick for my TV remote. I understand there used to be a sleep timer function. Can we add that back in? I (and many others) love to fall asleep to the TV. Nothing worse than waking up ...

Hi Dgrams2003,
Welcome to the Roku Community!
We understand you have a query about the sleep timer. When streaming music, a movie, or a TV show, or when watching content from an external device connected to your Roku TV (e.g., cable set-top box, game console, Blu-ray™ player), you can access the Options menu by pressing Star * on your Roku remote. Once you see the Options menu, scroll up or down to Sleep Timer and select a time interval.
- Note: Star * is assigned a different function on some streaming channels, meaning it will not open the Options menu. In these cases, you need to use another method to set a sleep timer.
For further reference, you can visit our support page: How to use a sleep timer to turn off your Roku TV.
Please let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.
All the best,
Chel
It's due to the fact that some apps don't allow you to open the in app star/option menu is why we need a secondary way to access the sleep timer in the main menu.
Roku's do have a Data saver mode that will halt streaming after 4 hours of no remote activity. That would return you to the home screen. To turn the TV itself off, you need to check it's options.
