Sleep Focus only on watch and not phone

Is there a way to set the sleep focus only on the watch and not on the iPhone? I have turned off both mirror my phone options and the sleep setting is still on my phone. Tried to turn it off on the phone and it turns off the sleep focus on the watch at the same time still.

Apple Watch Series 7

Sleep focus I just recently updated my phone (8) to iOS 15.4 and Apple watch (series 3) to watchOS 8.5. Before these updates I could turn sleep on on my watch and my phone would go into sleep focus as well. Now it does not and I have to manually turn both sleep focuses on. I don’t use the ‘mirror my iPhone’ for focus on my watch bc I prefer not to. Is there any way to get my phone to turn on sleep mode when I turn it on with my watch?

Sleep mode focus missing from Apple Watch os9 and iOS 16 In fact, of the six focus modes I have on my phone, only two of them show up on my watch after the update. Yes I have the options selected to mirror the focus from my phone to my watch. But when the time comes in my sleep schedule to activate sleep focus, my phone goes into sleep mode but my watch does not. This has made me no longer able to wear my watch at night and use it as an alarm because all notifications wake me up (if I put it on do not disturb, it changes my phones focus from sleep to DnD). I’ve already tried repairing the two devices both from an old Watch backup as well as fresh, to no avail. I just really want to be able to wear my watch at night again!

Watch - impossible to turn off sleep mode. Watch is now useless for quick reads. Yes I've tried settings on the watch - no sleep option Yes I've tried on the iphone, no toggle off Yes I've done a hard reset on both the phone and the watch. PLEASE stop trying to put so much garbage into the devices that they become unusable by anyone other than an Apple employee! Except if it could do the laundry, then that would be a useful update.

Hello Luliac05,

It sounds like you want to set up sleep but only for your Apple Watch. We understand how important this is to you and we are here to help.

Currently that is not an option since they are both integrated with the Health app.

We would recommend providing feedback for Apple.

You can do this by going to Health Feedback

Cheers!
