Sleep focus mode doesn’t turn off with Sleep/wake alarm iOS 17

That’s exactly what’s happening with me. Didn’t happen in my iphone 12 but after I switched last week to iphone 15 pro the sleep mode doesn’t turn off.

I was able to resolve the same issue reported in this thread by the following steps (there must be easier ways to fix this but these steps worked for me):

1. There appears to be two different ways to setup Sleep Focus - one via Settings app and the other via Health app. I deleted my existing Sleep Focus by going into Setting app first. Don't worry, the Sleep Schedule will stay intact so there is no need to recreate your Sleep Schedule after deleting the Sleep Focus profile. At this point, the "Sleep" entry under Focus list should be gone away.
2. Go to Health app and scroll down to find "Sleep" and click to go into it. Scroll down to "Full Schedule & Options" and select it to find "Set Up Sleep Focus" near at the top. There, you'll need to re-add People and App allowed to contact you and send notifications during the focus is ON. Once done you'll find you are automatically back in Setting app.
3. Go back into the Health app and to "Full Schedule & Options", and you will see a new option at the top , "Use Schedule for Sleep Focus" - turn it on.
4. After these steps, the new Sleep Focus shows up in Settings app, but it should not be showing it in ON state & now it should automatically turns on/off per the Sleep Schedule.

Has anyone had any luck figuring this out! I got an iPhone 15 Max Pro on 2/11/24 and I’m having this issue. Phone is updated to ISO 17.3.1 and sleep mode turns off after I shut the alarm off and then 30 seconds later turns back on. It’s driving me nuts! Also, I’ve noticed that my alarm doesn’t get progressively louder anymore, it just blares at full volume.. if anyone has a fix for that, I’d greatly appreciate a recommendation!

I’m on 17.2.1, my 14 Pro worked fine, got the 15 Pro and I’m now having this issue :(

Like everyone else here, my focus was stuck on Sleep. I tried everything up to resetting the phone (iPhone SE). Still stuck on Sleep focus after all that.

Then, I took a stab in the dark and told Siri to change the focus to "Work" and it worked. This might be a premature post, but at least Siri could do what no other action could. The next test is to see if the focuses transition the way they're supposed to.

there is a work around on Macrumors. I cannot take credit for the fix just sharing the intro. You can create a short cut to have it automatically turn off at a specific time daily. Doesn’t fix the problem but is a work around. The link has pictures

I have the same issue with iphone and watch. I found a solution that worked in my case (iphone 15 pro ios 17.3.1, watch s8 os 10.3.1. Not sure if this works for you.

Step 1: Force restart your iphone following this step

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

Step 2: Force restart your apple watch following this step: hold down the side button and the Digital Crown at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

The same problem here. iPhone 15ProMax, AW 9. Tried to solve it with support. Solution - wait for fix 🤷🏻‍♀️ So seems like the only thing we can do is to wait until they repair it 😴💤

After 5 days I can say with confidence that getting Siri to unstick the focus fixed the issue. Almighty Siri can do wonders if you only ask her. :)

I've just done the same and have the same issue. Upgraded from 12 to 15 pro

Same. Updated to 17.4 and watch to 10.4 and sleep won’t turn off. All settings are correct but sleep mode is constant. Updating made it worse.

This issue has continued with iOS 17.4.1 — apparently no fix yet.

Having the exact same issue as yours. I turn off the alarm on my watch, but the alarm screen stays on the phone but is silent. Happened after paring my watch 8 with my new 15pro. Didn't this issue with my watch 8 and iPhone 12.
