Apple Watch Newbie Question.... How do I stop calls at night?

[Virdi]

Hi all,

So I am new to Apple Watch - But there are some things which I am just not getting on with

So my first issue is - At night, the watch automatically goes into sleep mode (which is fine) but when in Sleep Mode, I don't watch my watch to ring or buzz - if I receive a call or message etc..

How do I get this happen please?

Thanks

What you’re asking for is the default for the sleep focus, are you sure that the sleep focus is actually enabling?

I normally put on cinema mode and silent mode every night (Im sure there are better ways though). Press button below the crown wheel and hit the icon that looks like two faces, then the bell icon.

My watch makes no sound or vibrations from 10pm until 8.30 am. This is setup via the iphone under Settings->Focus->Do Not Disturb. Haven't found a dedicated way to do it for just the watch.

..sorry is sleep focus different from sleep schedule? I believe sleep mode is activating as I get the 'bed' logo appear every night at 22:30

Yeah, go to sleep settings in health, click full schedule and options then enable use schedule for sleep focus.

Are the people calling you in your favourites? I believe they go into the exception list, I have my immediate family in there and unfortunately my on call number.

I use do not disturb and also cinema mode. I wish there was an automated mode that sensed when you fell asleep and did this if you forgot. Does such a thing exist?

Sleep focus tied to your sleep schedule works fine for me, not sure why it’s not for the OP.

I didn't want to set a schedule as I work shift patterns. I didn't want it telling me I needed to go to sleep when I'm on a late shift etc.

You can set schedules for sleep, I don't know how granular you can go, but for example I have one for mon-fri and then one for sat-sun.

I thought that was supposed to be a feature of watchOS 11 - that it detected when you were in bed and sorted out the sleep stuff automatically. Maybe I misread.
