What’s actually slowing this PC down?

If a saved YouTube sleep-music video starts over, first check that you are signed in to the same account and that the video has a progress bar. YouTube says a partially watched video will usually resume where you left off, but it is not guaranteed. If you are listening to a live broadcast rather than a replay, the saved-video guidance may not apply. YouTube’s Sleep Timer can pause playback after a chosen interval; it does not repair or set a saved resume point.
First identify what is restarting
“Starting over” can describe several different behaviors, and they do not have the same fix:
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
- The same saved video or replay returns to the beginning: check its progress bar, your sign-in and watch history.
- A live broadcast appears to start at a different point: ordinary video-resume guidance does not establish how that particular live stream or device will behave.
- A playlist advances to another item: the issue may be the playlist or queue, rather than the timestamp in one video.
- Playback stops and asks “Video paused. Continue watching?”: that is YouTube’s Autoplay-related confirmation prompt, not proof that the resume point was reset.
YouTube’s progress-bar help says: “When you select a partially watched video, the video will usually resume from where you left off.” YouTube notes an exception when a video is almost complete.
Check the saved video’s progress
- Sign in to YouTube. Progress indicators are available when signed in on TV, computer, or the YouTube mobile apps.
- Use the same YouTube account that you used when you watched the video. Open the same video or replay, rather than a different upload with a similar title.
- Look for the progress bar beneath the video’s thumbnail. If there is no bar, YouTube may not have a saved progress indicator for that item.
- If the bar looks stale, refresh the browser or feed and check again. YouTube says the progress bar may not update straight away; refreshing is a suggested check, not a guaranteed fix.
- Consider whether watch history was cleared. YouTube says clearing watch history also clears all progress bars.
History settings are tied to the signed-in account. YouTube Music’s watch-history help says pausing history while signed in to YouTube also pauses it on YouTube Music for the same account. YouTube also says videos watched while history is off do not appear in history. Those facts do not establish that pausing history alone causes every resume-position problem.

Use Sleep Timer to stop playback at bedtime
The Sleep Timer is for ending playback after a selected interval. It pauses the video; YouTube’s instructions do not describe it as a way to bookmark a timestamp or correct a wrong saved position.
- Open the video on a computer.
- In the player, select Settings.
- Select Sleep Timer.
- Choose how long the timer should run before playback pauses.
YouTube says a silent notification appears when playback pauses. If you are still awake, you can reset the timer. These button-by-button steps come from YouTube’s computer Sleep Timer instructions; check the controls on your device rather than assuming the computer interface is identical on mobile or TV. An active timer can also be adjusted using the same steps.

Tell a continuation prompt from a resume problem
If YouTube displays “Video paused. Continue watching?” during an autoplay sequence, the prompt is asking whether playback should continue. YouTube documents these intervals when Autoplay is enabled:
| Device category | When the prompt appears |
|---|---|
| Mobile | After 30 minutes of uninterrupted viewing |
| Web | After 60 minutes of uninterrupted viewing |
| TV | After 180 minutes of uninterrupted viewing |
Select Yes to continue playback. YouTube says the prompt helps protect watch history and avoid data use when someone is not actually watching. These are platform-specific operational thresholds from YouTube’s “Continue watching?” help page, not a fix for a video that resumes at the wrong timestamp.

Keep a playlist, not a temporary computer queue
If the problem is that your listening sequence disappears after you close a computer browser, save the videos to a playlist. YouTube says a computer queue does not persist after the browser closes and recommends saving it to a playlist if you want to return later. That preserves the list of videos; YouTube’s queue guidance does not promise that a playlist saves an individual video’s playback timestamp. See YouTube’s computer queue instructions.

YouTube Premium’s help describes saving a video spot so you can resume across devices. That may be relevant if you want to continue watching on another device, but the official description does not say Premium repairs an incorrect saved timestamp. Check current plan details and availability in your region before subscribing; the cited Premium benefits page is not evidence of a fix for this specific problem.
