Sleep schedule 'next' using wrong day (one day off)

I've started using this, and was confused about the 'next' schedule not showing the schedule I had setup for that that day. After a while I realized that the schedule used for 'next' is not the schedule for that day but for the day after. So my active schedule for Friday is the Saturday schedule and the active schedule for Sunday is the Monday schedule. The watch then reminds me about bedtime at the wrong time.

I've erased all scheduled and set up them again but still the same bug. Still the watch shows the Saturday sleep should start at the(earlier) time the Sunday has scheduled. So 'next' is really the next day, but is used as the active schedule, which makes especially Thursday and Saturdays showing wrong sleep time (Friday and Monday schedule). Wake up time is also wring in the same way, so wakeup time for Sunday is the Monday scheduled time, and wakeup time for Friday is the Saturday scheduled time.

Anyone else seen this behavior?

I've had a discussion with Apple Support about this. Just as 1smith above, they agreed on the problem.

The 'solution' I finally used is to rethink the schedules. The Sunday schedule is not showing the go to bed time for Sunday but the wakeup time for Sunday and thus the go to sleep for Saturday. The UI seems to show and set the sleep intervall for Sunday -> Monday, but it seems to really be Saturday - Sunday, hence one day off for my way of thinking. I think the UO should show that the setting is between 2 days or make it clearar the the 'key' to the intervall is the walkup time.

This is on a totally updated iPhone 8 (15.1). Sleep focus seems to follow this 'off by one day'.

I can edit the 'next' schedule and itseems to remain as edited.

klas209,

Thank you for clarifying that and providing a screenshot. We didn't see one tagged in your post, what iOS is this happening on? Are there any updates available in Settings > General > Software Updates?

If the schedule is edited to show the bedtime as 22:00 for today, does it revert back on it's own or does it remain? Does the Sleep focus enable/disable at the correct time?

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If this is happening on the latest iOS, you may want to reach out to Apple Support for further assistance. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach out to them here: Get Support.

Have a good one!

Hi klas209,

Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities! From our understanding, when you look at your sleep schedule in Health, you are seeing "Tomorrow" as the "Next" schedule, do we have that right? This would be expected behavior. The "Next" would be for a Wake up tomorrow. You should see "Bedtime" as whatever time you have set for bedtime on your Monday schedule and see the wake up time as what you have set for your Tuesday wake up schedule.

Hope that helps!

Today is Monday.

Schedule is showing' today' bedtime from Tuesday (and wakeup time for Tuesday schedule.

I would expect bedtimes and awakeup time from Monday. schedule. Or am I missing something.

Should I schedule Monday bedtime on my Tuesday schedule, thinking it is the

wakeup time that is connected to day och the schedule.

"Confused"

I have the exact same problem. My phone settings are all on the correct time, but sleep is off by one day. So today is Friday and the data from last nights sleep shows up on the Friday chart. This also messes with the sleep schedule, even though today is Friday it is using Saturday’s schedule. I have tried to erase all data, reset phone, nothing has worked.
