It seems I have two choices - Do Not Disturb so I don’t get notification sounds all night long or use my iPhone as a nightstand clock. None of the apps for a night clock work without disabling Do Not Disturb. Does anyone know of any clock apps that will stop notifications (without having to turn off notifications each night?).
iPhone XS Max
Unless I am missing something (very possible!), I cannot find a way to have the clock/time show the time constantly... I have a nightstand charger with portrait mode and if there is a button on the build in alarm clock to allow the numbers to show all night while charging (again... without allowing the notifications to continue binging in all night), I have not found it.

No, the built in alarm will not show the time all night. However, you can ask "Hey, Siri...what time is it?" You can also tap the power button and the screen will come on.
Thanks... I was aware of the burn in and the apps I have tried move the image to avoid this issue. I am beginning to believe my “idea” of having a digital clock visible on my phone without receiving continuing notifications.
Thanks... Guessing my wife (who was waken four times last night with notifications) would be against such an idea.... but thank you.
Programers: A night clock, that will not burn in, but will also turn off notifications (that is, allow Do Not Disturb) to be silenced would be killer app! I have to believe it is doable.
Apps are not allowed to interact. So one app cannot silence notifications for a different app. However, my suggestion of using the built-in app for the alarm and the night clock for just displaying the time would work.

There are some advantages to sleeping alone.
What's wrong with the built in alarm clock?
I just use Siri, as my friend suggests.
Use the app that shows clock/time and set the alarm in the built in app.
But as you have an XS Max it is not a good idea to leave the screen on constantly. It will eventually damage the screen.
Night clock that silences notifications
