Standby mode silencing alarm

the last couple of days I’ve used StandBy mode whilst asleep but both morning the alarm has failed to go off. I have double checked the alarm is on and no issues there so what’s happening? Surely a key time to take advantage of standby mode is when in bed but useless if it cancels the alarm. What am I doing wrong? I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Hello JB7777,


Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.


Have you verified the alarm was enabled in your sleep schedule:


"Set up your first recurring sleep schedule

When you set up a Sleep Focus, you can set your next bed and wake up times. This schedule repeats only once. To set up a recurring sleep schedule, do the following:

  1. In the Health app, tap Browse at the bottom right, then tap Sleep.
  2. Scroll down to Your Schedule, then tap Full Schedule & Options.
  3. Tap Set Your First Schedule, then select your options:
    • Set the days for your schedule: Tap a day at the top of the screen to add or remove it from your schedule. The schedule applies only to days shown with solid-color circles.
    • Adjust your bedtime and wake up schedule: Drag the Bedtime button to change your bedtime, the Ringing Alarm button to change your wake up time, or the semicircle between the icons to shift both times simultaneously.
  • Set the alarm options: Turn Alarm on or off.
    • When Alarm is turned on, you can choose a sound, its volume, a vibration, and the snooze option.
  1. Tap Add.

The Set Your First Schedule screen in Health, with a Days Active section and a Bedtime and Wake Up clock."

If the issue persists, can you provide a few more details? Also, what is your exact iOS version?


Cheers!
