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?

Update May 7, 2025:
Our engineers are aware of a concern that may allow the watch to reenter sleep more, if sleep is manually ended before the scheduled end. They are anticipating a software fix for this…
Fenix 7, 16.22 version, still not fixed. Also would be great, if garmin allowed to control manually sleep mode, without auto schedule, so we can decide when to start sleep mode and stop it just with one…
This is still an issue for me with software v17.28
Can confirm on my Epic Pro gen 2 that this issue still exists with fully updated software. I often get up before my sleep schedule and manually turn off sleep mode, but it keeps turning back on.
How are we doing with this? Still an issue on my Fenix 7s Pro
I’m still having plenty of issues and very inconsistent behavior. Sometimes, when waking up from sleep it will decide to keep the phone connectivity off, so that I’ll have to activate it again manually. Many times I get a different watch face after waking up from sleep (one with only a digital clock), I’ll have to manually enter and exit sleep mode again to get back to my analog customized watch face (garmin watch face, nothing fancy).
all in all this is the biggest quirk this watch has for me but it is annoying because it is a daily or almost daily issue.
Update September 10, 2024:
Our engineers are still investigating this issue. However they have found, as a work around, that navigating to the Sleep widget and ending sleep here, will end sleep effectively without reentering sleep. This is as opposed to using the End sleep option in the Controls menu. Starting a new activity, has also been found to end sleep. I will continue to update, once a solution is found.
so this has been an open issue for 2 years?!?
i have a sleep schedule set, but often get out of bed early.
i disable sleep mode with the "hold down key" shortcut i have set.
minutes later it goes back to sleep mode.
this is more than just "kind of" stupid.
Sorry Garmin, you are lying to us or your engineers should be replaced ASAP. More then 2 years to solve this issue?
Forerunner 265s here, this is still an issue. Workaround did work, but come on, two years? I am a software engineer, this is ridiculous.
I’m on firmware 18.14 on an epix 2 and the issue seems to be solved for me or at least has worked for the past few days. I’ll update if it acts strange again!
Epix 2 18.14 here, and it is definitely NOT fixed.
I agree, as mentioned this has not yet been resolved. However I would like to get some clarification regarding the temporary workaround provided by engineering. If you exit sleep from the sleep widget, as opposed to using the Controls menu or a hot key, does this successfully exit Sleep mode? If you have tried this, and this is not working, please let me know.
The workaround you mention did worked for me the one time I used it a few days ago.
