Apple Watch sleep mode, wake up before alarm

Agree! And manually turning off the sleep mode (from the control center) seems to erase any sleep tracking from that night, which is not what I want either.

Hey Adam Suhy,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!

We see from your post that you're having trouble with the Sleep app on your Apple Watch. We'd be glad to help with this cool feature.

Look over this article and see if it helps:

Track your sleep with Apple Watch - Apple Support

Cheers!

I have a similar issue. If I wake early and switch off sleep mode on either my phone or watch, all of the tracking disappears

it only seems to keep it if I don’t switch off sleep mode and let the alarm eventually go off. This is annoying if I’ve put the watch on charge as my phone then makes an audible alarm sound.

You're welcome.

Of course, Apple is never going to be able to please everyone. I really like the way it works now and have told them so (as part of some other feedback about Sleep monitoring).

Happy holidays.

I’ve sent one now as well.

Can only hope they resolve this soon because as far as I know, this is as ‘close’ as we can get to Apple people without their email addresses etc. to keep following up and checking on progress - so frustrating.

It’s really quite extraordinary that the Apple Watch doesn’t cater for waking up early - at least without carrying out an action that erases the previous night’s sleep data!

Because, like so many users point out here, it’s 50/50 whether or not the Apple Watch will predict you’ve awoken early - and present you with an interface option to turn of the alarm

I’ve only just got my first Apple Watch, and for days this has been driving me nuts. I thought there would be an easy - and blindingly obvious - solution, but no!

I *love* my Apple Watch otherwise - so there’s little chance I’ll be reverting back to my PIP Boy 😉 But *boy* this is such an obvious issue that needs to be resolved

Apologies, Manatheros: I wasn’t responding to you, but to Hrarrus. I got that wrong - and stated the wrong name - so am correcting that just now

Noted RE your different experience and workaround, friend

Swipe up from the bottom of the watch and press the bed icon.

Hi,

Thanks for the link to the Apple official "Feedback" site. Using this feedback site, I just submitted my bug/poor design report about this issue.

This is exactly what I did thinking it’ll end sleep tracking. I then went to review my night’s sleep only to find no sleep data at all! This is ridiculously stupid Apple, what is going on?

Yes that works so they must’ve fixed it. Thanks 😀

Going to settings and tapping on the bed icon worked to unlock the watch, but the data about lag night’s sleep don’t appear either in the watch or the phone, and it’s been 10 minutes. Any tips?

Thank you, friend! Such a simple explanation, for something that will make a massive difference

Appreciated

👍

I’ve not worked it out yet. So if I’m awake on my phone, I lock it a minute before the alarm was due to go off. In the health history it shows I was awake earlier. I’m sure they’ll iron it out at some point
