Bedtime feature acting strangely

Hi all,


I have been using the bedtime feature ever since it came out.


On two occasions (about a couple months apart), even though I have it set to 10pm - 6am for 8 hour sleep, it has changed itself to an hour earlier (this morning it was about 9.15pm - 5am) and sounded the wakeup alarm.


I am just wondering what could cause this to change by itself?

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11.4.1

Awkward I replied to myself..

Hey thanks for the reply! Sorry, I did mean to add that due to DST messing me up a few years ago, I now set my time manually for any phone and "set automatically" is turned off so it can't do that (hopefully?).

I did a quick google search and DST for Aus isn't for another couple of months, and I am 2/3 hours away from the nearest border.

Yup, I am using 11.4.1. I will try that and see if it works. It's not a huge problem, but I would rather fix it now than have it start happening more frequently. 🙂

Thanks for your help.
