Sleep and notifications Apple Watch Series 6

Hi - I am new to the community having just been given an Apple Watch Series 6 as a present. I love it


I have a question about sleep mode and notifications and hope someone can advise me.


When I am in sleep mode, it goes straight to 'do no disturb' and I am unable to get notifications from my Ring Doorbell and camera - I would like to be able to be notified if these security devices are activated during the night for obvious reasons


Also, I would like to be notified if my children call or text me during the night


Many thanks and hopefully someone will be able to advise me.

Regarding your second question, you can allow your favourite contacts to call you while Do not Disturb is enabled. If they text you, you can auto-reply that you in not be disturbed....they can then still get thru by adding "urgent" to their next text message.


Hope this helps a bit. On your first question, perhaps best to submit Product Feedback so that more of these exceptions can be allowed in the future.
