Just converting to Apple Watch 2 after years of Garmin activity trackers. Love the watch so far look forward to discovering it full capabilities.
Woke up at 5AM today because the stand notification was telling me to stand? I guess I slept through the first 6 notifications. Searched for the setting and can't believe this was not thought of. How do I tell my watch that I sleep between 11 and 6?
Thanks
Apple Watch Series 2, watchOS 3.1
If you would like to make this suggestion to Apple, you can do so at this link:

They won't respond directly to you, but they do read the suggestions. In the meantime you might be interested in this:

I think this is pretty ridiculous. My AW2 seems to do the same thing randomly (ie. this morning but not yesterday morning). I am not sure why Apple developers wouldn't use the "Bedtime" hours (also set on the phone) as a default DND window to not have the Stand feature go off.
How is this feature even usable if you're supposed to turn it off each night before you go to bed?
I wear my watch to bed because if I get a work call in the middle of the night, I don't wake up my wife.
You should not be getting the notifications, if the watch is in night stand mode sitting on its charger at night. Are you wearing your watch while sleeping?
I did - first night! So will just charge every night from now on...
But what about when I crash at my GF's place? Can't I turn this off? Crazy Apple wants me to stand all night....
Take the watch off, even when you cannot put it on the charger. You will get stand alerts, if the motion sensor indicates that you are wearing the watch and are awake.
Or disable the activity reminders in the Watch app on your iPhone, if you do not want them temporarily: https://help.apple.com/watch/#/apd3bf6d85a6
Control activity reminders. Reminders can help when it comes to meeting goals. Apple Watch lets you know if you’re on track or falling behind your activity goals. To choose which reminders and alerts you’d like to see, open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, then tap Activity.
Suspend coaching for the day. To turn off activity reminders for the rest of the day, open the Apple Watch app on iPhone, tap My Watch, tap Activity, then turn on Mute Reminders for Today.
Hi
You may wish to set up a Do Not Disturb schedule and enable mirroring, so that the scheduled settings also apply to your Apple Watch:
With these settings, both your iPhone and Apple Watch will enter into Do Not Disturb mode automatically every day between those times.
The mode can also be enabled manually at any time on either device by swiping up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Centre and tapping on the Do Not Disturb button (crescent moon icon).
With the mirroring option turned on, enabling / disabling the mode manually on one device will also enable / disable it on the other.
Thanks for the help - will just remove the watch at night...just surprised that there is no sleep tracking / do not disturb setting for the watch only - guess was just used to some of these no brainer options in the Garmin products. Will keep adapting...
With Mirror iPhone disabled, the watch can be placed into Do Not Disturb mode separately from your iPhone, by opening Control Centre on the watch (swipe up on the screen when viewing the time).
