If you’re waking up tired, exhausted, and unrefreshed every time your iPhone alarm goes off, you may want to turn off your sleep wake up alarm.
Apple’s “Sleep” feature helps regulate your sleep habits by setting a schedule for when you go to bed and wake up, as well as providing nine soothing ringtones to help you rouse in the morning.
Light alarms
If you’re having trouble waking up in the morning, it might be because your iPhone’s alarms aren’t working. There are a few things you can try to get your alarms to work again.
First, if your alarm still doesn’t work, update your iPhone to the latest iOS version. This can fix many glitches and bugs on an iPhone, but it also wipes your data, so be sure to back up your phone before doing this.
Another thing to check is your alarm’s Sounds & Haptics settings. If they’re set to the same volume, it might be causing the alarm to go off too early or not loud enough. You can change these settings by opening the Clock app and tapping on the Alarm tab.
You can also make a new iPhone alarm by tapping the plus button on the upper right-hand corner of the app. You can also delete an existing alarm by going to Edit and tapping the red minus button.
Lastly, if your alarms aren’t working at all, you can try turning off Sleep Mode on your iPhone. This can help you fall asleep easier and wake up more refreshed in the morning.
However, be sure to turn Sleep Mode off before going to bed. This will stop the feature from dimming your screen and hiding Lock Screen notifications, as well as preventing calls from specific people from coming into your phone.
For a more natural, gentle wake up, you might want to use the Wake Up Light feature on your iPhone. This feature uses the smart home automation system HomeKit to brighten your bedroom lights gradually before your alarm goes off.
The light will gradually reach the brightest brightness in your room before your wake up time, helping you enter a more light stage of sleep and waking up more naturally. This feature isn’t available on all devices.
Melatonin alarms
If you’re a night owl or have trouble falling asleep, an iPhone powered melatonin alarm can help you get the shut eye you need. The app’s patented lighting technology is the magic bullet that will reset your sleep cycle and put you on the road to recovery in no time at all.
The app also has a few tricks up its sleeve, most notably the ability to monitor your sleep cycles and alert you when you’re in light sleep. The software identifies your sleeping patterns by monitoring your heart rate, movement and other physiological markers and spits out a timed alert that is sure to rouse you from the dead.
The app’s awe inspiring capabilities come at a price, and that’s the cost of your phone’s battery life. For that reason, the app has to be left on your bedside table at all times in order for it to function correctly. Its most pronounced drawback is that it’s a real pain to turn off in the morning, especially if you’re still in bed and want to hit the sack.
Silent alarms
If you’re not happy with the blaring sound of your iPhone’s alarm, you may want to turn it off. Thankfully, it’s simple to do so.
First, head to your Settings app and turn off the Change with Buttons feature. This option lets you change your ringer and alert volume using the buttons on the side of your phone, but it can be easy to accidentally decrease your iPhone’s alarm volume by mistake.
Next, try turning on the Do Not Disturb mode. This will silence your iPhone’s cellular radio, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It also prevents all incoming calls, text messages and other notifications. However, you’ll still be able to set alarms and receive notifications in Notification Center.
In addition, if your family members’ phones are nearby, you can easily silence their alarms by asking Siri to do it for them. Just say “Hey Siri, turn off Anna’s alarm.”
Another way to turn off your iPhone’s silent alarm is to simply switch it to vibrate mode. You can do this by navigating to the Settings app, selecting Sounds and then turning off Vibrate on Silent.
You can even use this setting to silence your incoming messages or calls from certain contacts. If you want to disable all incoming notifications, including the sounds of your alarms, you can also turn on Airplane mode or power off your iPhone.
If you’re using a third-party app for your alarms, it could be conflicting with the default iPhone clock application. It might be time to delete it altogether.
It’s worth noting that deleting your alarm app won’t erase any data, such as your photos, music or apps. You can always restore it later if necessary.
Assuming that the above solutions don’t work, it’s likely that your iPhone has some other issue causing it to not make an alarm. Here are some other things to check before giving up on your alarm:
Finally, if you’re still experiencing an issue, it may be worth trying a factory reset of your iPhone. This will restore all the settings to their defaults, including any third-party apps you might have installed.
Noise alarms
If you don’t like the sound of your iPhone’s alarm, you can easily disable it on your device. You can do this through the Clock app, which lets you open the settings for one of your alarms and disable its snooze option.
If your alarm is too loud or too quiet, you can adjust the volume yourself on your device through Settings > Sounds & Haptics. You can also turn up or down the volume by pressing the ringer volume keys on your iPhone.
You can also use Apple’s ringtones, which come with a selection of different songs to choose from. However, you should be aware that the ringtones won’t change every time you set an alarm. You may need to switch them on and off again before you can get them to work the way you want.
There are also apps that allow you to manually set the snooze time on your iPhone. You can download these apps from the App Store or Google Play, and they’ll help you add a few minutes of extra sleep to your morning routine.
In addition, you can turn off the sound of your alarm on your device to avoid waking other people up. This is especially helpful if you live in a dorm and don’t want your phone to be a nuisance for other students.
For example, if you’re a student who is sensitive to noise, you can configure your alarm to vibrate only instead of ringing. Then, you can just make sure that there are no other connected audio devices in the room that are playing the sound.
Another way to turn off the alarm sound is to simply turn off all Bluetooth devices on your device. This will prevent any other audio devices from playing the sound through your iPhone’s speakers.
You can also disable the sleep wake up alarm on your iPhone by turning off its Sleep Schedule feature in the Health app. The Health app is available on most iOS devices, and you can access it by opening the SpringBoard and tapping Browse.
