Sleep Alarm goes off at the wrong time after changing it

Question

Sleep Alarm goes off at the wrong time after changing it

I use the Health app to set up a sleep / wake up schedule. For weekdays, my wake up time is 4:30am

There are times when I want to want to sleep later. For those cases, I go either into the iPhone or my Watch and change it. I double check on both that the new time has been registered correctly.

Unfortunately, the watch alarm will go off at 4:30 no matter what other time I have set. It will ALSO alarm at the time I have set.

This is very annoying as it disturbs my sleep cycle. I am on the latest OS version on everything and this has been happening in prior OS versions as well.

Hello AlfaCharlie1006,

Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.

We understand that your alarm is not changing when you set your sleep schedule. Make sure you change your next schedule by following the steps at the bottom of the article here under, "Change only your next schedule"

Add or change sleep schedules in Health on iPhone - Apple Support

That should help. Let us know if you have any questions.

Take care.

I had a similar issue where I delayed the alarm and it still went off at the originally scheduled time. Resetting the watch resolved the issue.

Hi AlfaCharlie1006,

Since you have already tried the recommended steps for changing the alarm time, and you didn't see a difference, we like to have you reach out to Apple Support. They will be able to look into this with you further. Just go to Get Support.

Take care!

This is a problem for me as well. I double checked the alarm settings before going to sleep and the sleep app again went off on my watch 1hr before scheduled (my default wake up setting).

This is very annoying. I hope Apple recognizes the issue and is looking into it. I will reset my device in hopes that this will resolve the bug.

I reported the issue to the Apple Support team. They took a number of screenshots and promised to come back. I never heard back from them again.

The issue happened again last week but it did not happen today (both times when I delayed the alarm time). I cannot find the rule or rationale on why it happens some times and not others.

Thank you but that is not the problem. The schedule appears as changed, yet it rings at the old time. It is a bug in iOS.
