Sleep mode keeps turning back on

Schedule has sleep mode turn off at 8AM.   When I wake up before 8,  I use the control menu to turn sleep mode off.  However minutes later, sleep mode turns back on.  Any way to turn sleep mode off without it coming back on?

    I have a new item to add to this Sleep Mode issue.

    3 hours past my end sleep time of 6:00, I started an activity and was prompted to end sleep mode.  The watch was not in sleep mode,  confirmed with sleep chart ending at 6:30 when I woke up.

    The sleep mode is seriously messed up on these watches!  So much inconsistency.

    Note:  This is on 17.28

    +1 issue for me, 17.28. If I wake up before my wake-up time and start an activity confirmig ending sleep time, end it it returns to sleep mode (with configured redshift). If I disable it then again, sometimes it can be that my what jumps to powersafe mode or I don't know whch one is it because it doesn't show my whachface anymore but default garmin whatchface and only date and time and I enable with hotkeys once again sleep mode (with redshift) and disable it once again.

    Update: July 24, 2024:

    While some did stop experiencing this with SW update version 17.23, our engineers are still seeing new reports of this concern. For this, we would like to collect some additional specific examples. If you are running the latest SW version 17.28, and seeing you watch reentering Sleep mode on its own, after you manually end Sleep, please feel free to reach out to me via Private Message. I would love to collect some details of this experience.

    I have an Epix pro Gen 2 SW ver 17.28.  My original problem was the watch face and wrist gestures would go to sleep.  Finally figured that I had to toggle sleep mode to off for this to start working again.  However, after several hours sleep mode enables itself on.  Very frustrating to say the least.  Basically have to turn the watch on every time I want to know the time.  One note, when I am recording any type of activity watch stays on.  Please help, paid way too much to have this problem.  Thanks

    I have an £80,000 car that has had plenty of software bugs. There is no such thing as "paid way too much to have this problem"  Wink

    I'd choose a different car !

    It's a very good car, and for my needs and desires the best value for money (and has one of the highest customer satisfaction ratings). But you are naive if you believe that any car (or anything with software) doesn't have bugs.

    That was my point.

    While this issue may be irritating, it is hardly a show stopper and to think that you have paid "this much money" and you are going to have a faultless product, is also naive.

    I have an Instinct 2x and this is still an issue. I have my sleep schedule set to accommodate my night shifts for when  I come home I can gym then sleep. But if I'm not working a night I don't want sleep mode turning back on at noon.

    I have found that  same issue, so I schedule my sleep time from 12am to 6 am. would rather have sleep mode off than always pushing a button to see what time it is.  Hopefully, the engineers will figure it out and send out an update.

    Same here on Epix 2. No problems until 17.28 when the  sleep  and power mode bugs have appeared, I should have stayed on older firmware.
