Autoplay Overstep

My Question or Issue

So, at night, to help me sleep, I listen to sleep meditation music. Songs that are hours-long and on “albums” individually, so when they finish, the room is silent.

But apparently now you’ve added a feature that plays more random songs after an album finishes, so the last few nights I’ve woken up after the songs finish by either obnoxious loud rain static or creepy chanting.

I like the feature for regular albums and playlists, but not for my sleep music. Is there some solution to this I’m not thinking of?

Help!

Not so much another question, but a suggestion... because turning off autoplay every single night will get old fast, and I know I’m not the only one who uses Spotify to fall asleep.
Consider a feature that allows you to make a bedtime playlist that won’t autoplay suggestions afterwards? Or similar?

It bugs me a little because YouTube recently started putting loud ads at the end of all their videos, which disturbed the people who used to use their service for the same purpose.

People who have a hard time sleeping keep getting shafted, and we’re too tired and irritable to come up with our own solutions.

Anyhow, thank you for listening!
