Add or change sleep schedules in Health on iPhone

After you set up your first sleep schedule in the Health app , you can set additional schedules—for example, you can create separate schedules for weekdays and the weekend. You can also modify any schedule you create—for example, you can change the wake up time for any schedule.

Sleep mode, which simplifies your Lock Screen and turns on Do Not Disturb, automatically begins at the bedtime you schedule, but you can schedule Sleep mode to begin earlier by setting a wind down period before bedtime.
