Use (or Stop Using) Nightstand Mode
Nightstand mode is a useful feature that automatically changes the display of your Apple Watch when it’s charging to make it easier to tell the time when you’re lying down in your bed.
This feature should be on by default, but if you’d prefer, you can easily turn it off by following these steps:
- Press the Digital Crown on your Apple Watch.
- Open the Settings app.
- Scroll down and tap on General.
- Scroll down one more time and select Nightstand mode.
- Toggle Nightstand mode on or off, depending on what you want.
You can also do this on your iPhone by opening the Watch app, going to General, and then enabling or disabling Nightstand mode from there.
