Morning report in the middle of the night

Hmmm ... whenever I just want to switch on the light in the second half of the night I get the morning report. And when it is 02:30h am I am usually not awake for more than a few minutes max.

Is there one of the Knobs I can press to only get light but not the morning report?

The morning report shows up when it detects that you are awake for a longer time

I believe it’s also there 30 to 60 minutes (I forget exactly whenj before the end of the sleep schedule and remains until cleared or about an hour later.

I does not happen to me, but TBH I very rarely wake up in the night. But for example this morning, after waking up ~2 hrs before the scheduled time, the screen remained in the Sleep Mode for 50 minutes before switching to the Morning Report screen. Are you sure you are really seeing the Morning Report Screen, and not just the Sleep Mode screen (different than the standard day screen)?

Well, if it is really the Morning Report screen, and not the Sleep Mode screen, then the only way would be disabling the Morning Report entirely. You would then have to call it manually from the hidden Developer menu (pressing 8× the Light button on the System » About screen).

And if it is just the Sleep Mode screen, then that can be indeed disabled in the menu of the Sleep Score widget » Sleep Settings » Watch Face » Don't Change

Yes. The sleep screen is a great feature to focus on the one piece of information that really matters when waking up during the night. What I often see on the watch at night is the sequence of sleep score, weather forecast, etc. that makes up the morning report. The sleep phases that are qualified as "awake" are relatively short slivers (below 5 min). 

If the morning report would work as you describe it this would be the behavior that I would expect. After being awake for x min the report is shown. As it is a very useful feature is quite annoying at night.

When you wake up in the night do you press any buttons?

When I wake up I press a button to get the backlight on.

This morning I got the morning report at 04:48. According to the sleep protocol I was in REM at the time and the last time being recorded as awake was 30 min earlier. If the logic is to wait till I am awake it is at least not consistent with the recordings of the watch itself.

Personally, I am really absolutely unable to replicate such behavior even if I want. Perhaps if you stop bothering about the watch in the night, you'll sleep better. I recommend attaching it to your ankle - and I guarantee that you'll not see any Morning Report until you wake up in the morning and detach the watch 

I tend to sleep quite well but when I wake up I want to check if it is still worthwhile to continue sleeping or if I am better off just getting up.

This morning the morning report showed up again at 04:05 in the middle of a phase that the watch would classify as light sleep. My conclusion is that the morning report is a nice feature but unfortunately the buggy implementation makes it impossible to use for me and I will just switch it off.
