Do you at least give yourself a warning, so you can find a natural stopping point? Maybe flashing the screen 2 minutes before the time is up, and then fade to black over those 2 minutes.

How easy a timer can be ignored depends on how annoying the timer is. If it's loud and doesn't stop, it would be hard to miss.
