[Venu 3] Manually control Do Not Disturb and Sleep Mode

So I set sleep and wake window times for my Venu 3. In the evening when my sleeptime arrived it will automatically enable Do Not Disturb and Sleep Mode.
The next morning after my wake time it wil automatically disable Do Not Disturb and Sleep Mode.

However, sometimes I know I will be sleeping longer then my standard wake time and I want to be able to manually enable Do Not Disturb and Sleep Mode and NOT have Garmin automatically disable them too early with the risk of being woken up because of alerts et cetera.
How can this be achieved when:
1. Garmin already automatically enabled Do Not Disturb and Sleep Mode
2. Garmin didn't already automatically enable Do Not Disturb and Sleep Mode

Thanks for the help.

You can disable the automatic sleep times and manually set both DND and sleep modes from the Controls menu (tap & hold top button).

Hi Scott,

I have my bed time set to 11pm each day. As expected, the watch turns to sleep mode that time. If I want to stay awake longer, I open the Control menu, find Sleep mode being set and disable it. The problem is that sleep mode automatically enables after about 10min. Of course I don't want that. I want to enable the sleep mode manually in those cases. Any idea how to achieve this? Thanks

Hi,

I didn't know it worked that way. I was going to look in sleep settings to see if anything can be adjusted there, but I can't find the sleep time settings. I've been using Garmin watches for several years now and still have to search for every setting. There's no apparent logic to how they arrange things.

I think I contact the Garmin support about this topic, though I'm not hopeful that they have a solution for this. Maybe they'll fix in in future versions...
