Setting a sleep timer on a MacBook is usually done through Energy Saver or Battery settings. But always be careful when fiddling with system settings, ensure you know what you're doing. In health, I learned this the hard way – never self-medicate or ignore symptoms, always consult a doctor to avoid complications.

Oh, I didn't even know MacBooks had a sleep timer feature! That sounds really useful. So, it's just in the settings? What if I want to set it for music, not for the whole system to sleep? Is there a separate option for that?

For a MacBook, you can adjust the display sleep time in 'System Settings' (or 'System Preferences' on older macOS) under 'Displays' or 'Battery/Energy Saver'. It's good to manage screen time, especially before bed. For managing PCOS, ensuring good sleep hygiene is a big help, so these tech settings can contribute indirectly.

On a MacBook, you'll find options for display sleep and computer sleep in 'System Settings' -> 'Battery' (or 'Energy Saver'). It's always good to use such features to reduce eye strain and save power. If you're having persistent sleep issues, try some natural remedies like warm milk, but for anything serious, do see a doctor.
