Sleep focus issues
Why doesn’t the sleep focus turn off in morning even after I am moving around and have turned it off?

Hi there JoGo2,
If your Sleep Focus is not being disabled as expected, first ensure that when you are manually disabling the Sleep Focus that you are using these steps from Use Focus on Apple Watch:
Turn a Focus on or off
1. Touch and hold the bottom of the screen, then swipe up to open Control Center.
2. Touch and hold the current Focus button, then tap a Focus.
3. If no Focus is on, Control Center shows the Do Not Disturb button.
4. Choose a Focus option—On, On for 1 hour, On until this evening/On until tomorrow morning, or On until I leave.
To turn off a Focus, just tap its button in Control Center.
When a Focus is active, its icon appears at the top of the watch face, next to the time in apps, and in Control Center.
You can also disable the Sleep Focus manually on your paired iPhone using this article: Turn your Sleep Focus on or off on iPhone
Having a schedule set up for Sleep Focus may also be responsible for this issue. The 'Edit your sleep schedule on your iPhone' and 'Edit your sleep schedule on your Apple Watch' sections here show how to check and adjust these settings: Track your sleep on Apple Watch and use Sleep on iPhone
We hope that helps!
