Every now and then, I will be fast asleep when all of a sudden, my watch starts vibrating. I wake up and check the notification, which effectively states, "Hey, man! Were you asleep?"
So I dismiss the notification and go back to sleep. Just as I am finally nodding off again, my watch starts vibrating again. This time it reads, "Tap here to find out why sleep is important."
At this point I'm thinking, "My watch can sleep in the microwave... Do this to me again and I'll turn it on!"
...My watch stays silent for the rest of the night.
Anyway, is there any way to disable the god awful sleep detection? It has never worked properly anyway. My watches life depends on a solution.
I have a different issue with sleep detection. When I fall asleep during travel, either in car or train, my Galaxy Watch 4 doesn’t recognise my sleep. Is it the same of all or should I adjust some setting?

Is there a way to Schedule Always on Display OFF at Night?
It would be great if you could do this or find an app??
I massively extend my watch battery life, by doing the following:-
During the day Always on mode set to +7 brightness. Wrist gesture feature enabled
At night I have setup Do Not Disturb between 10pm and 6am. Always on set to off. Wrist gesture feature disabled.Brightness set to +1. So at night to see time you have to press the top right button.
Trouble is I have to go through a ritual of selecting these settings before going to sleep and when I have woken up - it would be nice to have these settings scheduled????

You can optimise it a bit: with do no disturb mode on, the gesture is automatically off. And put the brigth to 1 is also unusefull, as you have to wake it up manually and very few times at nigth.
Anyway, I am with you. I have asked several times to Samsung to add a nigth auto mode based on schedule (I have S2) disabling AOD and enabling do not disturb, with no action by them.

Hi,
Are there any news?
Heard something about Tasker for the S3.

I am considering switch from Huawei to S3. Huawei automatically switches off the AOD if being laid for a while.
Does Samsung do this?
The S3 will turn off the screen and cancel notifications the moment you take it off your wrist.
I like to use the sleep tracker but like others when it comes on at 2 AM it's like a flashlight in the dark. It would be nice not having to turn the display down to 1 every night.

Hi, I have an interesting issue with sleep tracking. S3 starts sleep tracking automatically. However after I wake up I usually sit down on the couch to have my cup of coffee and read news for an hour or so. I have noticed that my S3 detects this time as sleep and reports about it Is anybody having same experience? I know, this is not a big issue however...

I had sort of the opposite experience. It apparently started automatically, but stopped when I got up at 5am for a, um, waste elimination event. I was back in bed within a minute or two, but didn't go right back to sleep. While I was laying there my watch displayed a notification with the number of hours slept (signaling the end of the sleep period, I guess).
This was my first night with the watch, though. Wondering if it needs to learn my patterns?
EDIT: So ... I have to modify my observations a bit. The number I got for sleep time was from the notification that appeared on the watch. When I went into the S Health app on my phone, though, it showed the correct duration, including periods of light vs. motionless sleeping. I've attached screen shots with each of the sleep periods highlighted.
Any tips on wearing s3 while sleeping?
First night I wore it, no problems. Second night and the battery completely drained. I had just finished charging it so it started at 100%. S health shows data for four hours.
Thoughts on what could drain it so fast?
Non-LTE model, AOD on, brightness at 7.
You need to change your settings before you go to bed!
Turn off wrist gesture.
Turn off AOD
Set brightness to 1/2
I also set do not disturb between 11pm to 6am
It would be nice if there could be an app where you could schedule all these settings would save you having to do them before and after sleep??
Thanks, don't forget to shut off sensitivity setting. I forgot that I was playing with it yesterday and left it enabled.
You would think if they can detect when you are asleep it could automatically turn on dnd and set the screen to off (only turn on when a button is pushed). No need to schedule anything
Personally I'm not sexually attracted to my watch so I would never think of doing such a thing.
Hi,
I received my Asus rog phone 5 just over a week ago, but I am having issues with DnD. I have 2 schedules. 1 is from 20.30 to 5.40 for work and another is 21.00 to 9.00 for the weekend. Both were originally transferred over from my Samsung note 9. The problem is that DnD will start at the chosen times, but for some reason that I can't work out, it will just turn off. When I go back into DnD settings the schedule are there but DnD will not turn on. DnD will sometimes put the sound mode back to normal and recently it is going into vibrate. There is no warning, the icon for DnD will just turn off and no other problem will jump up from the phone. It just turns off. I do run sleep cycle but having that on or off doesn't have any effect on what DnD does.
I thought there might be issues with the transfer from my Samsung so I deleted all schedules and set them up again. Same issue. There is no exact time that I can tell when DnD turns off, but my Fitbit normally warns me around 21.00 that it is time to wind down. But Fitbit isn't the problem as I have seen DnD off before 21.00. I'm normally in bed before 21.00 so it's very annoying to be woken up my notifications when I'm almost sleep.
I've even tried digital wellness sleep schedule and the same thing happens. It turns the whole bedtime mode to off.
Last night I setup DnD to turn off only when I select it and turned off all schedules, but this morning when I woke DnD was off.
My phone has all the latest updates.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I dont use my phone often. 95% of the time it sits on my desk. At night, I have found my issues and now have it where it properly enters deep sleep at night.
During the day, while my phone sits on my desk doing nothing for 8+hours, it will not enter deep sleep at all. Are there specific apps or services or settings that are hyper active only during the day? It seems the vast majority of wake locks come from google play services but I can't disable all the permissions for that to get it under control.
