Feature Request: Sleep Timer

The only thing I don't like about my Roku Express 4K+ is that there's no sleep timer. I usually fall asleep while watching or listening to streaming content. But then it plays all night, disturbing my sleep and causing strange dreams.

I used to fall asleep while listening to my clock radio. A lovely experience! I just had to press the Snooze button to get sleep time, or to add more sleep time.

My clock radio was made over 40 years ago. It seems odd that its much newer replacement doesn't have the same capability.

      Thanks for the reply, Eunice.

      I checked and found that my TV has a sleep timer too.  Unfortunately, it only works with the built-in FireTV streaming function, so I had to switch to using that instead.  It seems pretty similar to the Roku, so that's o.k.  I just had to install all my apps again.

      Problem solved for me, but I guess anyone who doesn't have Roku or Fire built into their TV is out of luck.  They'll have to go back to using their clock radio.
