Apple Watch sleep mode, wake up before alarm

How do you exit sleep mode if you wake up early? Turning the crown gets you into the watch, but as soon as you lower your arm and the watch screen goes dark it’s back to the sleep mode. I had to reset alarm schedule in the sleep app to exit.

Also, the little blue bed above the watch face is not clickable like the green workout guy is. Have to go to app screen and find the sleep app.
