How can I have my sleep alarm play on my iPhone only? It is currently only playing on my watch, but it is not enough to wake me up. I want to wear my watch to bed for sleep tracking, but keep missing my alarm - it’s very annoying!

Hi 3277_,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. We can definitely understanding needing to be able to hear your Alarm. Are your alarms only set on your Apple Watch or do you have an alarm set in the Clock app on your iPhone? You should be able to have your iPhone alert you for your alarm going off as well. If you go into the Clock app, select "Change" next to your Sleep wake up alarm, is the option "Wake Up Alarm" turned on?
Track your sleep on Apple Watch and use Sleep on iPhone
Hope that helps!

Thank you for clarifying that for us. Looks like this may be expected behavior. If you are wearing your Apple Watch to bed, the alarm will sound on your Apple Watch. If you are in the Clock app on your iPhone, tap change, right under the Snooze option, you should see a message that says " When you wear your Apple Watch to bed, the alarm will go off on your watch".
You mentioned the alarm wasn't enough to wake you. Do you have the watch set to Silent Mode? Check out how to adjust your alert and notification volume here: Change the audio and notification settings on your Apple Watch.

Take care!
The alarm was set in the clock app on my phone, through the Sleep Schedule - it has been the same alarm for some time, in place long before I got my Apple Watch.
If I’m not wearing my watch overnight the alarm works on the phone, but I like to wear my watch for the sleep tracking.
