[Desktop][Other] Sleep timer for desktop

I noticed recently I can’t use the sleep timer feature on the desktop version of Spotify.

This is pretty inconvenient seeing as 99% of the time I’m not using my phone for Spotify if i'm planning to listen to music while going to sleep. Obviously i don’t know the ins and outs of adding such a feature but surely something so small can’t be hard to implement?

I’m assuming the feature is in the process of being added as I see no point in giving it to mobile users with no intentions of adding it to the desktop version which seems far more practical in my mind.

The sleep timer can also be used as timer for heads down work time.  

Scenario:  I realize I have 1 hour 10 minutes before my next meeting and I just have to get work done.

Potential Solution:  Set a music timer for 1 hour and 5 minutes, so it will play music up until 5 minutes before my meeting and then auto shuts off.

Note 1:  It is better for me to have an actual time slider instead of preset 15 minute intervals, since I don't put the music on exactly on the hour or half hour......  

Note 2:  This idea comes from my experience using Brain.FM and it is amazingly comfortable to just have the "peace and quiet" happen right before I have to go into a meeting.  It is a much nicer experience than just another alert for "Your next meeting is up in 5 minutes."

It's on their "project list" since ever but still - incredibly - nothing has happened. Yet

as a workaround, you can use connect the PC client with a mobile client and set the timer on your phone

It would be nice if there's a sleep timer for web player and i'm not talking about on windows app.

So easy!!! Why would it not be on the desktop version in the first place?? Why is such a basic feature taking so many years to implement? Almost 1000 votes on this one post?? Are you kidding me? Maybe I'll start using youtube music or something.
