How do I stop my Apple Watch from prompting me to stand during the night?

My Apple Watch tells me to stand during the night. It is most annoying because I should be sleeping, not standing. It appears this has been going on for years. What can I do to get a good nights sleep?

Why does my Apple Watch count sleep while I'm awake? I do not have a set sleep schedule set up. I manually turn on the sleep icon at bedtime and turn if off when I awake. However, if I’m sitting quietly at the desk working or sitting in a chair reading or something similar, I get a sleeping credit that can be many hours during the day. I may actually sleep for seven hours, but the Apple Watch says that I’ve been sleeping for 13 hours for example. What can I do to stop that [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Why does my Apple Watch notify me to 'Stand' at night? At 3 am, while I am sleeping, I sometimes get a notice to 'stand'. what setting(s) am I missing. Also, what setting turn off all but emergency notices when you are in 'sleep' time? Thanks, I'm Apple all the way, but this is my first watch. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

How can I stop my Apple Watch alerting me during sleep mode? When my apple watch is in sleep mode and I get up to go to the bathroom and then go back to bed to try to drift back to sleep in the precious little time I have remaining, my watch will vibrate and ask me if I want to turn off sleep mode. This wakes me up or disturbs my sleep, and apparently there is no way to prevent this alert from happening (and keep tracking sleep data)? Please let me know if I am missing a way to turn this off, or if a solution is in the works. [Re-Titled by Moderator] Original Title: Sleep mode alert disturbs sleep

I switched off the Stand Reminders completely, as this seems to be the only way as of now.

You should let Apple know directly about this issue by using the Feedback link, as this is the only way to reach them.

The more users do that, the more likely the issue will be noticed by Apple Techs and hopefully fixed in an upcoming update.
