  • receiving, from a user, a spoken utterance corresponding to a request for an automated assistant to cause media to be rendered, the media having a fixed duration with a total length of playback time;

    in response to receiving the spoken utterance, causing the computing device, from which the automated assistant is accessible, to render the media in furtherance of the media reaching a final point in the total length of the playback time, wherein the computing device provides access to the automated assistant and is located in an environment;

    processing, based on the media being rendered and based on the spoken utterance, data that is obtained from one or more sensors located in the environment and/or associated with the user and that characterizes one or more physiological attributes of the user when the user is located in the environment in which the media is being rendered;

    determining, based on the processing of the data, that the user has progressed closer to a sleep state or to the sleep state; and

    generating, subsequent to receiving the spoken utterance and in response to determining that the user has progressed closer to the sleep state or to the sleep state, a timestamp corresponding to a temporal position, within the total length of the playback time, at which the user progressed closer to the sleep state or to the sleep state during playback of the media.
