iTunes Sleep Timer stops iTunes from playing all night

Falling asleep to music, podcasts, audio books, or online radio can be very pleasant, but what's not so pleasant is waking up in the middle of the night with audio still playing. If you fall asleep listening to iTunes on your Mac, Lifehacker suggests checking out an AppleScript called iTunes Sleep Timer that will automatically stop playback in iTunes after a pre-set amount of time.

Don't worry if you've never played with AppleScripts before; the download for iTunes Sleep Timer includes instructions on how to install the script in iTunes, and it's really as easy as copying a file. Once you've done so, you can then select iTunes Sleep Timer from the Scripts menu in iTunes, choose how long you'd like iTunes to continue playing, and that's it; you're all set.
