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.
It sometimes happens to my Epix Pro (past Fenix 7x and 955 too). I usually go to Training Status and turn off from there. Because when in sleep mode first screen on traning status is asking if you are not sleepin anymore. You choose yes or no. Once you choose not sleeping it doesn't get back to sleep mode.
You can do the same from an activity which could be even faster and it's how i'm turning off the sleep mode since forever...not sure why but i started to do it even before the bug.
Just press the top right button(start/stop) and the same message will appear.
It is sad and frustrating that this issue is still not fixed. I have Descent mk3i 51mm and frequently work at nights. As per Garmin-Laurie "our engineers are still investigating the issue 8 mo ago on top of another 9 months". How much time is required to fix this simple but very annoying problem?
Very aggravating. Had my Tactix 7 for over a year. Every night shift I work i have to hit a button to tell what time it is. I need it for the notifications more then anything else. I work in loud environment. I just wish I could turn off the ability that automatically puts it on sleep mode.

This thread is 3 years old. Forgive us for being skeptical.
So just like you said your engineers "are planning a future Public software update hopefully by mid-June." 11 months ago? I didnmt check further back, but repeating that line once a year probably helps. LMAO

I do understand the frustration. However, you can see that this fix is already in its BETA testing phase in the change log here: https://forums.garmin.com/beta-program/fenix-7-series/f/announcements/410668/beta-version-21-11---now-available-ota-over-the-air-for-all-models
OMG - It is finally fixed in the current BETA! :) :) :)
