How can I GET RID OF the Sleep/WakeUp alarm in Clock?

I just updated to iOS 14.4.2 from an old software version and found this on my clock alarm, taking the upper section, and being completely useless and bothersome for me.

How can I eliminate it?

Thanks.

iPhone 7, iOS 14

All of the bedtime settings are in the health app HOWEVER, the actual alarm for the wake up is in your alarms page of the clock app. You can disable the bedtime feature altogether by going to the health app>Browse>Sleep>Options and toggle off "Turn on automatically"

After reading the horror stories four years ago when the "feature" was introduced, I have dared not tap on Bedtime in Clock.


However, there may be a solution based upon more recent reading. Go to Clock | Bedtime. Scroll UP (Who would ever think of scrolling up past the top of the screen??!!) and a green slider switch should come into view. Turn it off.


Good luck.

Thank you Shichimi for your answer. Unfortunately, on iOS 14.4.2 there is no “Bedtime” section in the Clock App, as was before. I did not come from iOS 13 but 12 (I don’t do all updates). In that version Beadtime did not exist and all was perfect with the world :-P

And now in this iOS version it says that this feature has moved to Health, but still appears here !?!?

I don’t even want to get involved with Health, as it is another beast completely, that I am not interested in.

Still, thank you for taking your time to reply.

While I am no fan of the Bedtime feature, I just realized that by moving this feature from Clock to Health they disenfranchised the entire universe of people who only own an iPad or an iPod, as Health is unavailable on these devices for some reason.


Lucretia, I have two iPads, one with iOS 14.4.2 (Cellular) and one with iOS 12 (WiFi). The one running iOS 12 can do Bedtime, but the one running iOS 14.4.2, even though better equipped, cannot. That sounds needlessly self-defeating, doesn't it?
