Maximum watch wake time

Why is 70 seconds the max time before the Apple Watch dims? Sometimes I want my Apple Watch face active constantly. If I have a white background and grey dial set, I do not want it to go black after 70 seconds or wrist down..

I understand the watch going idle is for saving battery, but that should be my decision to make, no?

Where is the Apple Watch face sleep preference? My wife and I each have Apple Ultras. My sleep preferences are set for between 9 PM and 7 AM. During that time, my watch face (otherwise always on) is black. Time is accessible by tapping the face (I wear it at night). If I want to access other functions, I press and hold the crown. I like all those features. My wife's watch, however, doesn't do any of this. She has a sleep setting, but her watch is always on, even at night, draining the battery. I've tried looking for the differences between our preferences and can't find the one that turns the display black during sleep. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Apple Watch sleep mode without wake up delay Is it possible to put my Apple Watch (Series 8) in sleep mode (dark screen, no notifications, etc) without also getting the delay when pressing the digital crown? The delay makes it extremely frustrating to do stuff like adjust my wake up time etc.

Apple Watch keeps sleep mode if I wake up early If you schedule sleep and wake up early, Apple Watch continue to keep in the sleep mode. Normally, the Health app detect when you are awake but do not know if you are awake for short period and asleep again or you are awake for the day. How you can inform the watch you are awake for the day to exit the sleep mode?
