Regular alarm rings on iPhone but sleep alarm only on watch

I have my iPhone and Apple Watch on silent and when I set regular alarms on the phone it rings and my watch vibrates. But sleep schedule alarms don't behave the same way. They just ring or vibrate on the watch only. Regular alarms should do the same.

Am I missing something?

Why is my sleep alarm only vibrating my watch? Why is my sleep alarm only vibrating my watch? I see multiple people have posted this question. I agree this is a big problem. The slight vibration on my watch isn’t sufficient to wake me. I have a series 7 watch and an iphone 14 pro. The alarm used to ring both the watch and my phone with a sound. Then I was able to snooze or cancel from either device. How do I make this happen again??? Please help!

Alarm vibrate on Apple Watch I enjoy tracking my sleep so like to wear my Apple Watch to bed. The issue is that if I am wearing my watch while my morning alarm goes off, the watch vibrates and my phone does not play the alarm. This vibration does not wake me up. I have slept through it every time and have resorted in having to not wear the watch overnight if I have to wake up early the next morning. As someone with sleep issues this is a huge pain as I always sleep in a lot so frequently require an alarm, but I would like to be able to track my sleep due to medical reasons. Is there a way I can change the settings so my Apple Watch does not go off for my morning alarm?

Alarm on watch ONLY I ONLY want the haptic alarm to go off on my Apple Watch - usually, everything works fine. But on occasion, the iPhone rings loudly instead. Grrrrr. What settings do I need to have on/off for this unwanted interruption never to occur and only the watch haptics to work?

The discussion thread below has an answer for you.

If you are wearing your Apple Watch to bed, the alarm will sound on your Apple Watch. If you are in the Clock app on your iPhone, tap change, right under the Snooze option, you should see a message that says " When you wear your Apple Watch to bed, the alarm will go off on your watch".
