If your iPhone keeps sending bedtime reminders every night and you don’t want them anymore, you can easily turn them off through the Health app or the Sleep Focus settings. Whether you want to disable only the reminder, remove specific sleep schedules, or turn off the entire feature, this guide explains every option step-by-step.
1. Turn Off Bedtime Reminder (Keep Sleep Schedule Active)
If you still want to use Sleep Tracking and alarms but don’t want the reminder notification appearing before bedtime:
Steps:
- Open the Health app.
- Tap the Browse tab (bottom right).
- Select Sleep.
- Scroll to Your Schedule and tap Full Schedule & Options.
- Scroll down and turn off Sleep Reminders.
Your sleep schedule stays active—only the reminder is disabled.
2. Turn Off All Bedtime Reminders & Alarms Completely
If you want to stop all sleep reminders, wake-up alarms, and sleep tracking, turn off the entire Sleep Schedule feature.
Steps:
- Open the Health app.
- Tap Browse → Sleep.
- Scroll to Your Schedule → tap Full Schedule & Options.
- Turn off the main Sleep Schedule toggle at the top.
This fully removes bedtime reminders and stops your iPhone from entering Sleep Mode automatically.
3. Delete a Specific Sleep Schedule Only
If you have multiple sleep schedules (weekdays, weekends, etc.) and want to delete just one of them:
Steps:
- Open the Health app.
- Tap Browse → Sleep.
- Under Your Schedule, tap Full Schedule & Options.
- Tap Edit next to the schedule you want to delete.
- Scroll down and select Delete Schedule.
This removes that schedule without affecting the others.
4. Turn Off Bedtime Reminders from Sleep Focus (Alternative Method)
You can also manage bedtime alerts through the Settings app under Sleep Focus:
Steps:
- Open Settings.
- Tap Focus.
- Select Sleep.
- Turn off Use Schedule for Sleep Focus, or adjust the schedule as needed.
This prevents your iPhone from activating Sleep Focus and removes bedtime reminders associated with it.
Which Method Should You Use?

|---|---|
| Stop bedtime notifications only | Turn off Sleep Reminders |
| Disable all bedtime & wake-up alerts | Turn off Sleep Schedule |

Final Thoughts
Turning off bedtime reminders on your iPhone is simple once you know where to look. You can disable reminders only, remove schedules entirely, or adjust Sleep Focus settings to customize how your iPhone behaves at night. Whether you’re using an iPhone 17, 16, 15, or earlier models, the steps remain the same on modern iOS versions.
