Q: iOS 10 Bedtime feature not working

I Have been using the bedtime feature for the past week and everything works as expected, but for some reaso, the app has NEVER ONCE reminded me to go to bed. Does anyone know what's wrong and how I can fix it?

    When you open the clock and click on the Bedtime icon, have you tapped on Options in the top left, and made sure that the Bedtime Reminder is set to = a time when you would hear it (not sure how "noisy it might be at various points prior to the actual bedtime itself....).

     

    It is very quiet and very short: La La Bye

     

    That's it.....

    No, I mean there is no notification AT ALL WHATSOEVER. I have no clue why. I waited until the time it was suposed to remind me tonight, and nothing came up. The notification simply is not working.

    Under Options are you certain you have the volume turned up enough? It seems that in order to hear it for selecting, you can hardly hear it at all - I had to turn it all the way up on the screen. When it played the next day, it was super loud. Don't know if that is related, but it's a thought.....

     

    Also, try resetting your device: Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time, and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Lock Screen redisplays, the reset is complete. Check to see if the issue is resolved.

     

    Cheers,

    I have this same problem. I've been reminded a few times, but the 15 minute before bedtime reminder I chose mostly doesn't work. It's not an issue of sound or volume. There's no notification received by the iPhone or Apple Watch.

     

    Whats more agrivating is there's no easy way to tell Health when you're going to bed and have it fill in the wake up time. You can only enter both manually the next day.

     

    I had my bedtime set to midnight and changed it to 11:55 to see if that would make a difference and it did not. This is simply still buggy. Kinda like how I keep finding Night Shift turning itself on in the middle of the day when it's clearly scheduled for sunset/sunrise.

    I was having the same problem too, but I just went into the options and turned other all the days except one, saved it and then went back and changed the days to all the ones I wanted. Changed the bedtime to test and it reminded me. No idea if it will still work tomorrow!

    I had the same problem. It seems that the "Do Not Disturb" feature blocks the reminder from the Bedtime feature. I changed the schedule for Do Not Disturb, and since then the Bedtime reminder works as advertised.

     

    I think it would be nice if Apple were to change this; I think it can be useful to be able to set your Do Not Disturb earlier than your actual bedtime.

    I thought about DnD, and I do have it set to 10pm, same as Bedtime. However, I have the Bedtime reminder set to 15 mins before, so I should still get the reminder, and it's not happening.

    I haven't had any problem getting the reminder, but I have mine set to "At Bedtime". I'll try the 15 minutes before and see what happens.

    Same happened to me! Had set up to go to bed at 23:15 and to receive a notification 45 minutes before. It worked for a couple days, then sudenlly stopped working. I can't get the notification back to work and the alarm in the morning is mess up, I have an alarm set up at the same time, but the Bedtime one was going on, also sudenlly stopped working. I tried to change the settings, turning off and on, nothing can make it back to work.

    I've had the same issue. I've found that if I go through and uncheck each day and then recheck them  or turn the bedtime off and then back on it will work. But I would really like for it to automatically work each day, considering that's the point.
