Roku devices have all the necessary features to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Among these features is the Roku sleep timer, which, when used wisely, provides additional benefits such as preventing overheating issues, conserving energy, enhancing fire safety, and mitigating the risk of screen burn damage.
The sleep timer feature on a TV is designed to automatically turn off the TV when the preset time is reached. If you habitually watch your favorite movies at night and tend to fall asleep, you can set a timer on your Roku TV. This way, the TV will automatically turn off, preventing it from running unnecessarily when you’re not actively watching.
In this post, I’ll show you how to set up a sleep timer on your Roku TV.
