How to Turn Off Sleep Mode on Your iPhone

There are a lot of functions you can enjoy if you master how the iPhone OS works. Like, you don’t have to switch off your iPhone when you want to sleep when you can easily turn on sleep mode. Or turn off your iPhone while in a meeting when you can turn on silent mode to enable vibration and disable sound play on all incoming activities. However, in this article, I will teach you how to turn off sleep mode on iPhone to receive all blocked notifications while you are not in bed.

Meanwhile, before you turn on the sleep mode on your iPhone you should consider setting the “Focus Sleep” mode to turn off (automatically) when you are out of bed. If this is not done, your iPhone sleep mode will remain active until it is turned off manually.

How to Turn Off Sleep Mode on iPhone

The iPhone sleep mode is designed to turn off itself without any assistance based on your settings while setting up the sleep mode option on your iPhone. If you choose Sunrise while setting up your iPhone sleep mode it will work with that. If you instruct your iPhone sleep mode to turn on at sunset it’ll work accordingly. However, you can also play around with the sleep mode settings to alter the sunset activation and choose your preferred time to enable the sleep mode feature.

However, if the sleep mode is still active when it was supposed to turn off to receive all your pending notifications you can turn it off manually. This is vital especially if you wake up before the time your iPhone sleep mode is set to turn off.
