is wrong sith Samsung not including a Sleep Timer button on the new remotes?  Its 2025, people use the Sleep Timer alot.  And good luck finding it in settings.  You need to take 3 planes, 2 buses and a pack mule to get to the sleep timer setting manually.  Samsung, smarten up and listen to customers, the sleep timer shouldnt be a hidden option, it should be an easily accessed function, RIGHT FROM THE REMOTE!

Hello! Thank you for reaching out! The sleep timer function is not available as a shortcut on the remote or as a dedicate button. You can follow the community advice for the workaround to create a routine. As I don't use the sleep function either, there could be a 3rd party universal remote that could potentially have this dedicated button and work, but I can only speculate on this.

As far as I can remember they have never been a Sleep timer button on the Samsung Remotes or any other TV remotes I've owned in the past and I've owned quite a lot of TV remotes over the years and on all of brands you have to go into setting to enable the sleep timer.

People use the sleep timer?  I never had a television of any brand that had a sleep timer button on the remote.  It was always in the settings.  On some TVs, the setting is easier to find than others.  Although, I agree, it would make sense to add it  Why not just create a Smart Things routine if the TV is connected to Smart Things? Or plug the TV into a smart plug and add a timer in the plug's app to turn it off at a certain time.  I think if you have an Alexa device, you can even use Alexa to turn it off at a certain time.

The OP has a smart TV, they can create a routine for that.
