How to Use Wake Alarm Feature in iOS 10 and Master Your Sleep Cycle
iOS 10 brought a lot of little things. One of these features was tucked under the new “Bedtime” tab in the redesigned Clock app (that dark mode looks amazing though). Wake Alarm feature is simple. Basically, you tell the Clock app what time you usually wake up, how much time you’d like to sleep and the app will take care of the rest.
Here’s how to use this feature to create a strict sleep routine.
Setup A Wake Alarm
Open the Clock app in iOS 10 and tap the “Bedtime” tab from the bottom.
You’ll now be shown a step by step process for setting up a wake alarm. The first screen introduces you to what the wake alarm is.
On the next screen, select what time you would like to wake up, and which days of the week the alarm should go off.
After that, select how many hours of sleep you want.
Then select how many minutes before your usual bedtime would you like a reminder that it’s time to go to bed. This will show up as a silent notification and you can decide to go to bed at that time or snooze the reminder.
After that, you can select a wake-up sound.
You’ll then see a preview of the sleep tracking feature and that’s it. Your wake clock alarm is setup.
