Cheers!

In my case, if I turn off the alarm at the end of sleep schedule ( by pressing stop button on the watch ), I will get "Good morning......" greeting message and came out from Sleep Mode. If I happened to miss to stop the alarm or press snooze, it will turn back to Sleep Mode.

Me too all my devices are up to date

but sleep mode keeps turning on during the day. However the schedule still shows, sleep is from 11.00 until 07.00? Can someone advise please

I also have the same issue. My sleep schedule is set to 11:00 pm to 6:00 am, with 30 minutes winddown time. Sleep mode focus will turn on at 10:30 pm in the morning it will turn off at 6:00 am. But a few minutes later "Sleep focus" will turn back across the device.

Hello, and thank you four suggestion. I have been having the same issue, just lately. I am running the latest software updates on all my devices:

watchOS 10.4

iphone and iPad both iOS 17.4.1

so updating is not the answer unfortunately. I have checked the time zones for all devices and they are the right ones.

Has anyone found a solution?

I am having the same issue. I always run the most up to date software versions on both my iPhone and my Apple Watch, but in the several few weeks, and especially after upgrading to a new iPhone 15 Pro a few weeks ago, my Watch does not respect the Sleep schedule that is set in my profile. My phone wakes up following the schedule on time, but my watch remains asleep, even though when I look up the sleep schedule on my watch, the schedule displays correctly (for example, it is 7:30am for me now, my sleep schedule ended at 6:30am, and my phone is awake, but my watch is still asleep.).

I've had the watch for 2 years and this was never an issue before. It seems to be a new issue in the last several weeks.

No matter what I try, the watch still sleeps after I get up, and it seems to wake up later in the day following some different schedule, which I cannot figure out what that schedule is.

Unfortunately I have the same problem. My sleep schedule is set as usual with watch and phone. After the standard good morning message including current weather situation I’m off to the bathroom to make myself ready for work and after a while when I’m wondering why my screen is dimmed I have to realize that sleep mode turned itself back on. So I have to manually turn it off to stay off. Very bad bug because I miss a lot of important notifications till I’m realizing the problem.
