Apple Watch 7 - How Do I turn off Downtime?

How do I turn off downtime for my Apple Watch 7? Sometimes my watch doesn't detect my early morning workouts and I'd like to be able to start a workout manually, but my watch won't let me. Really frustrating - I'm up before 6AM every day but my watch is stuck in downtime until 7AM.


I have downtime on phone is off, and app limits are not set.

Hello Yipiyuk70,


If you are using the Sleep feature, the steps below may help when you wake up early:


If you're up before your scheduled Wake Up time, you can exit Sleep Focus. Turn the Digital Crown to unlock your Apple Watch. Then swipe up to open Control Center and tap the Sleep app icon.


You can also find that information under the "Edit your sleep schedule on your Apple Watch" section of this resource: Track your sleep on Apple Watch and use Sleep on iPhone - Apple Support


If needed, you can also double check the Focus settings directly on your Apple Watch: Use Focus on Apple Watch - Apple Support


Should that behavior still persist after following the steps in those resources, just let us know. We'll go from there.
