Night shift workers

I think each of you bring up an important and valid point: while night time sleep is beneficial and helps humans fix their circadian rhythms, and Apple is trying to assist in that, this totally ignores Shift workers who sacrifice this natural rhythm but who nonetheless want to monitor their (daytime) sleep and improve on the quantity/quality of their overall sleeping pattern.

Apple must take these requirements too, into account and not setup so rigid a bedtime routine system.

(The more suggestions on this that Apple gets, the more likely this feature will become a reality in a future iteration of iOS)

There’s a huge number of people who do shift work including medical professionals. It would be great to have a toggle to flag that you do shift work so that it doesn’t require you to set a persistent bedtime and instead enable tracking based on when you toggle sleep mode on and off. I’ve been toggling it manually but last night it flagged a quiet half hour as sleep during a night shift because it was within my “bedtime” it required me to set to use the sleep function. I’m really liking the dim grey simplistic info on the watch and phone when sleep mode is on. I always just used the theater mode on the watch and the pillow sleep tracking all before this update.

I have the same issue, as work shifts both night and days. Seem silly you have to have this whole schedule thing set up. Why not just a manual on off for sleep
