When manually overriding sleep schedule by turning off “wake up alarm,” wake time is still recorded as scheduled time. Is this expected behavior?

Some evenings, I disable the “wake up alarm,” because I’ll wake at a different time. When I do this, and the phone is in sleep mode overnight, I expect the next pickup to register as the wake time, and for the proper amount of sleep time to be recorded in Health. Instead, the wake time recorded is always the scheduled time, even though I definitely pickup my phone at a different time. Is this expected behavior?

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
