Set up a Sleep Focus schedule in Health on iPhone
You can schedule regular times for going to bed and waking up to help meet your sleep goals. You can create multiple schedules—for example, one for weekdays and another for weekends.
For the sleep schedules you set, a Sleep Focus helps reduce distractions before and during bedtime. For example, it can filter out notifications and phone calls, and it can signal to others that you’re not available. You can also schedule a wind down period to begin from 15 minutes to 3 hours before your bedtime. Your Sleep Focus begins at the start of your wind down time.
To help you wake up on time, you can select an alarm sound, a vibration, and a snooze option. Or you can choose to have no alarm at all.
Set up a Sleep Focus
Go to Settings
> Focus, then tap Sleep.
If you don’t see Sleep as an option, tap
at the top right, tap Sleep, then tap Customize Focus.
Customize your focus.
For example, you can allow interruptions from people important to you, customize the Lock Screen and Home Screen, and customize how apps and your iPhone behave when a Sleep Focus is on. See Set up a Focus.
