Sleep schedule activates on unscheduled days

I have set sleep schedules for Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday with a bedtime of 1015 pm and wakeup of 6:30 am. Friday and Saturday are unscheduled.

For the last two weeks, the sleep schedule has activated at 1015 pm on Saturday night. I have had to manually turn off sleep on those occasions. Interestingly, this has never happened on a (unscheduled) Friday night, only Saturday.

I have checked and rechecked the settings and don't understand why the schedule is activating on unscheduled days.

What am I missing here?

An update:

After speaking with Apple Support today, I realized that I had been reading the "schedule" incorrectly. I thought that setting a sleep schedule on e.g. Monday for 2230-0630 meant that the go to sleep time was 2230 on Monday with a wakeup time of 0630 on Tuesday...but no: these both the wakeup and go to sleep times for each Monday.

That is why the watch keeps waking me up on Saturday mornings...I had Saturday unscheduled, but had a wakeup time set on Friday of 0630. So now (hope this is correct) I have a Friday go to sleep time of midnight and a wakeup time of 0630. Saturday is set to run from midnight with a wakeup time of 1000 (I get up before that) with no alarm. Sunday has a go to sleep time of 2230 (for Monday) and a wakeup time of 1200 with no alarm.

I guess I am the only person who misunderstood the sleep scheduling. If not, I hope this helps someone!
