How do I stop sleep tracking?

To stop sleep tracking on your Apple Watch Series 5, you can open the "Watch" app on your paired iPhone, go to the "My Watch" tab, select "Sleep," and then toggle off the "Track Sleep with Apple Watch" option. This will prevent your Apple Watch from automatically tracking your sleep and bothering you at night.

Again, if the watch is in sleep mode, in order to turn on the screen, you have to press and hold the digital crown. So, I suspect that your watch isn't in sleep mode at all.

If you're not interested in using the phone for sleep tracking and it bothers you, I would suggest putting it on the charger at night and not wearing it all.

What I'm trying to say is if the watch is in Sleep mode (not just asleep), tapping the screen does nothing. In order to activate the screen, you have to press and hold the digital crown. So, if your watch lights up when you tap on it, it is not in Sleep mode.

If you're using sleep tracking on your watch, it will put it into sleep mode and specifically not bother you. Can you explain what your watch is doing while you are sleeping?
