time in bed

iPhone says I spent 15 hours in bed yesterday! How would it know anything about how long I slept? I do not wear Apple watch in bed. I slept about 8 hours so I am mystified.


My iPhone was turned off and on the dresser while I slept and my Apple watch was in another room on its charger. Where is the phone getting this weird stuff from? It shows "in bed" as the only one checked in Sleep. I don't recall checking that one or any as just now was the first time I have seen that. I don't recall that even being in the previous iOS for iPhone or watch so does the latest iOS have that checked by default or something?

Hey there Melelina20,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. For steps on how to check if you have the Bedtime feature set up to track your sleep, check out the steps listed below from the following resource that can help: Use Bedtime to track your sleep on your iPhone - Apple Support


How to set a bedtime
The first time you set a bedtime, the Clock app asks you a few questions: 
1. Open the Clock app and tap the Bedtime tab.
2. Tap Get Started and choose your settings.
3. Tap Done.

After you set a bedtime, your iPhone reminds you when it's time to go to bed, and an alarm sounds when it's time to wake up.

Turn Bedtime on or off
1. Open the Clock app and tap the Bedtime tab.
2. Under Schedule, tap Bedtime or Wake Up.
3. In the top-right corner, turn Bedtime Schedule on or off.

This turns off both the bedtime reminder and the wake up alarm. 

Change the time and which days you get a reminder or alarm
1. Open the Clock app and tap the Bedtime tab.
2. Under Schedule, tap Bedtime or Wake up.
3. Drag the Bedtime button  or the Alarm button the alarm icon. As you drag, your Bedtime reminder and Wake Up alarm automatically update.
4. Under Days Of Week Active, tap the days that you want to get reminders or alarms. Days that are orange are active.

Track your sleep history
1. Open the Clock app and tap the Bedtime tab.
2. Scroll down to your Analysis, which shows your recent history.

If you use your iPhone when you're supposed to be in bed, you won't get credit for that time. Or, if you snooze the Wake alarm, the time that you stay in bed updates to match.

Data from Bedtime also automatically appears in the Health app.


Let us know if that's able to help.


Cheers!
