When I got to bed every night I set my iPhone to Focus "Sleep".
For some reason the past few weeks, I wake up in the morning and Focus "Sleep" is off.
No other changes. Nothing is scheduled. Been trying to figure it out for days with no luck.
After many tests I found a half solution to resolve it on my iPhone. I think the problem is not located on the iPhone, it is on the Apple Watch.
Now the Sleep focus on my iPhone is working again as expected. I hope it will help you too.

Hello there BobsYourUncleEhh,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We suggest removing that Focus and creating a new one to help with the issue. After deleting, follow the steps per the Apple Support article to create a new one: Use Focus on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Turn on Focus
1.Go to Settings > Focus.
2.Tap a provided Focus option—like Do Not Disturb, Personal, Sleep, or Work—then tap Customize Focus.
3.Set up your Focus. You can select allowed or silenced notifications from people and apps, connect your Lock Screen or Home Screen, have this Focus turn on automatically, and add Focus filters.
If this issue persists after creating a new Focus, the next step will be to get in touch with Apple Support for additional assistance:
We hope this helps you.
I spoke to Apple Support and they suggested to wipe my phone and restore from a backup and this seams to have fixed the issue. They said a fresh install of the operating system might fix the issue and it did for me.
Disabling focus mirror for Watch worked for me. Thanks!
Updating to watchOS 9.3 has fixed this for me.
This happens to me as well. It seems to happen about 5 minutes after enabling this focus. Now, I just set it while I get ready for bed and then rentable it as I actually go to sleep and it sticks after doing that. I have tried everything else, but this is the only thing that has worked.
It’s usually a few hours for me before it disables on its own. But I have noticed if I set it, disable it, then set it again on my own. It sticks.
Bummer!
As a work around, I've just been using Do Not Disturb mode instead of Sleep. So far, that one has stayed on all night.
The latest update seems to have solved this issue for me as well.
Same issue for me. I thought it was the wireless charger or my apple watch or other apple devices interfering—but nothing has seemed to help. I think I’ll just stop using the sleep focus and manually set it to DND. I’m tired of getting woken up at 3 am to a notification!
This has been happening to me since upgrading to the iPhone 14 Pro. I’ll set sleep and it’ll stay active until I place the phone on its charger. Within about a minute, it’ll pop out of sleep. Which is annoying, since the screen comes on. I’ve been struggling to find a solution.
I also have this issue with the fitness focus
I have precisely this same problem since a few days ago and can confirm that deleting and recreating the focus did not fix the problem.
Actually the problem came back two days later after reinstalled the operating system and having to reconfigure all my apps. I don't recomend doing this. Didn't fix it
I have the same issue. Been happening for maybe a month now. Sleep focus seems to shut off within 5-10 minutes. Very annoying as I really like the feature.
