How do you disable the Bedtime reminder?

The App seems fundamentally floored, in that if you go to bed earlier than usual the reminder is likely to wake you up and spoil your early night! It needs a feature adding that enables the user to skip or disable the reminder if going to bed early!

iPhone 6s, iOS 10.3.1

Ok, once again. Nobody wants to turn off bedtime. We want to turn off its annoying reminder without additional restrictions.

Only reason I am using bedtime is because it has nice ringtones such as bird singing etc.

Mute ringtones is not an option as I need to be available on my phone nonstop.

Sometimes I want to go sleep earlier and this reminder wakes me up (such a great idea).

To be honest, I am adult person and I really do not need remind when should I go sleep.

Aren't you folks overreacting a little bit..? If you're tired of your phone telling you when to go to bed, just use the regular Alarm clock instead of the Bedtime feature - the whole idea of adding the Bedtime feature a few years ago was to help people go to sleep:

"Apple introduced a new feature in iOS 10 called "Bedtime." It can be used to remind you to go to bed and make sure you get the amount of sleep you want."

The regular Alarm clock still works just fine for those who don't want those features. And Alarm lets you set a custom sound (any audio file such as a piece of music on your phone) to the alarms. So you could download a birdsong audio file onto your phone and then add it to any Alarm.

Alarm > Edit > Sound > Pick a song

I completely agree with your thouth, i definitively want to keep this feature on because of the nice ringtones, and also it’s pretry much more easy to setup that legacy alarms, which instill use for other purposes than wake me up but I hate the annoying remainder and so far it seems there is no way to turn it off.


The less worse of am workarounds I found is configuring an stupidly long sleeping night, like for 12 hours, so, I can keep all nice features while the annoying remainder will be treiggered so early that I won’t notice. The down side of this workaround is ther you will mess up the sleep analysis which I don’t care.


Hope it helps.

Although I agree that there should be a setting in the Bedtime options to turn off the bedtime reminder altogether, I'd point out that Asprotime did provide a working solution here:

When in Do Not Disturb mode there is no bedtime reminder, but the alarm will still wake up in the morning, and you can configure Do Not Disturb to allow certain ('important') incoming calls during the night, such as from certain numbers, repeated calls, and such.


So although a fix for the app would be preferable, this workaround does work.

But that would turn the bedtime entirely, it will not wake me up in the morning, correct? The it dissolves the purpose, my only reason to use Bedtime is to get gradually invreasing volume of the alarm that you can't set up in standard alarms (I don't want to think about reducing ringer volume before I go to sleep and hate yelling alarms)

I feel your pain and totally agree!! I use it for the same purpose as you. I have resorted to putting my Bedtime at 10am when I’m already up and working. Even then it's reminder is annoying but not as much as hearing it at nite. Of course the hours I actually sleep in the app are exaggerated since I set the bedtime at 10am, but I don’t care about that. It’s so stupid that you can it disable a reminder!

How do you disable the Bedtime reminder?
