How Do I Turn Off Sleep Mode on My iPhone?
Sleep Mode is designed to turn off automatically each morning based on the settings you used when you first set up Sleep Mode, but you can also turn it off manually from your iPhone or Apple Watch.

What Is Sleep Mode on iPhone?
Sleep Mode is a Focus option that replaced earlier options like Bedtime Mode. It is one of several focus options which also include Do Not Disturb and Work. It’s similar to Do Not Disturb Mode, but it also dims the screen and prevents notifications from appearing on the lock screen. The main purpose of Sleep Mode is to prevent distractions while you’re asleep, and it can also help you relax and get ready for bed with the optional Wind Down setting that turns on Sleep Mode a little early and restricts access to the majority of your apps. You can choose which apps are allowed during the Wind Down period, but the idea is to block access to any apps likely to keep you using your iPhone.
