    What are you talking about? If you're that worried about someone using your finger to unlock it while you're asleep, turn off Touch ID, or stop getting hammered before you go to sleep. Or better yet, don't live with people you can't trust.

    Sethings -> Touch ID & Passcode -> Require Passcode -> set to "immediately"   That way, the minute you sleep the display (by tapping the power button) it is locked and requires your fingerprint or passcode to slide to unlock.

     

    If you're worried about remembering to sleep the device, then in general settings, choose a short timeout for the auto-lock setting.

     

    In other words, there already is a "sleep lock" feature - just set it to lock immediately when the display sleeps and you're done.

    There is no issue here.  You're making a big deal out of nothing.  Read what others have responded with move on with your life.

    Huh? Such a feature already exists. Set a passcode on your phone. Set it to activate immediately. When the phone goes to sleep, the phone will lock.

     

    If I were you, I wouldn't be going to sleep around people who would engage in that kind of behavior. Get a lock for your door.

    right now the only option is to switch off phone and turn it on.

    Or press the Home and Sleep buttons until the Apple logo appears.  The phone will restart, but will require a passcode, not just a fingerprint, to unlock.
