Set up a sleep schedule in Health on iPhone

You can schedule regular times for going to bed and waking up to help meet your sleep goals. You can create multiple schedules—for example, one for weekdays and another for weekends.

To help you wake up on time, you can select an alarm sound, a vibration, and a snooze option. Or you can choose to have no alarm at all.

For the sleep schedules you set, a Sleep Focus helps reduce distractions before and during bedtime. For example, it can filter out notifications and phone calls, and it can signal to others that you’re not available. You can also schedule a wind down period to begin from 15 minutes to 3 hours before your bedtime. Your Sleep Focus begins at the start of your wind down time.
