ArE yOu AwAkE??

I swear to the gods whoever came up with this feature deserves to have their sleep interrupted for eternity—my apple watch will double-tap THREE times and ask me “ARE YOU AWAKE? Would you like me to turn off Sleep Focus?” but I, in point of fact, wasn’t awake yet, not until it did this. FFS, the ALARM doesn’t even do a haptic that heavy. This is the equivalent of someone shaking you awake and asking if you’re awake yet. It’s cruel! I can’t stand it! There’s no way to turn it off that I can find. There’s no button, no switch, no preference, no slider, no siri, no command, no single way to make it stop asking me if I’m awake! WHY would I WANT this? Between my phone, watch, and ipad, I have 6 ways to turn off my alarm before it goes off, I DO NOT WANT my watch, in sleep focus, to haptic the **** out of me TO ASK IF I WANT TO TURN OFF SLEEP FOCUS. NO, OF COURSE I DONT. THANKS FOR RUINING THE LAST FIFTEEN MINUTES OF SLEEP CONSISTENTLY. APPLE, WTH? HOW DO I REMOVE THIS “FEATURE”?

"...sure, while i’m at it why don’t i just take my watch off, too?..."

If you can't get it set then the night stand may me a less stressful place for the Watch


On the occasions I check my sleep quality it doesn't happen to me.

  • I have DND focus on anyway.
  • Sleep schedule set without wake up alarm
  • Standard alarm set on the Watch for 6:30 am as always.


Sleep like a baby.


I just choose which nights to check it, turn on the schedule, turn it off when I get up.

22 hours a day with LED and IR lamps on my skin is too risky apart from the random check days.
