Remove bedtime from alarm section iOS 13

Since the iOS 13 update, under my alarms section there is now a bedtime alarm permanently there that can’t be deleted. I’ve turned off all the functions but it’s still sitting in my alarms ahead of all my actual alarms that I use.

How do I remove this from my alarms section now with iOS 13?

There's a much simpler way. Tap Change next to the unwanted WakeUp alarm. Scroll all the way down (yep, there's more hidden down there). Choose Edit Sleep Schedule. This takes you to settings in the Health App. Toggle Sleep Schedule to Off.

Not a fan of that bedtime alarm. I work random shifts. One day I’m 8-4, then back that night for an 11pm to 8am shift. Off a day then back at 6am. My sleep is all over the place. The “bedtime” stuff is all useless to me and it’s like a slap in the face being reminded that normal people get to choose good sleep. For my own sanity I need this gone from my alarm app!!!

This feature needs to go, please!

I usually set several alarms throughout the day, and seeing the bedtime first, which I "do not use and do not care to use" has got me confused and I missed an important appointment.

And I dont want to be woken up when Apple thinks I should. I'm a responsible adult who can take care of herself without a device babysitting my every move.

Kindly remove that from the alarm screen and allow it to show ONLY when someone wants that alarm! Shouldn't be rocketscience to figure out NOT every iphone user wants to have a "bedtime" - we are adults...

Thanks for considering it.

I have the same issue. It's annoying. I only have an iPhone because it connects to my hearing aids, but for a functional "phone," i still my android. It's like Microsoft with their excessive apping. But with Microsoft, there is a powershell to help remove them. I wonder if plugging the phone into the computer would allow powershell to remove the junk, like all the health apps that I will never use.

I need that bedtime alarm to go. I have to set an alarm every 3 hours for medication reminder and it always ends up at the bottom of my list of alarms. It used to be visible on the screen, easy to access, easy to see when my meds were next due but now, because of this stupid bedtime alarm (which only appeared because I accidentally caught the bedtime icon one day) I am always having to scroll to find my alarm. It would’ve great if Apple would make alarm orders customisable so I could always have my meds alarm at the top!

This feature should absolutely be deletable. This morning I was late helping a friend who has just come out of hospital because I thought “07.00” switched on in my alarm queue was, hey, my alarm. Turned out to be my “bedtime” wake-up which apparently was set to “birdsong”. Who knew?


I’ve relied on the iPhone alarm for years and it has taken me more than an hour this morning to work out what went wrong. Please let customers decide basic - but important - settings/interfaces like this.
