Based on your query, it seems that you are referring to the SleepWake Alarm functionalities in the Health App and the Regular Alarm. Here's a more detailed explanation of these features:


SleepWake Alarm:

  1. The SleepWake Alarm is a feature in the Health App that allows you to set an alarm to wake you up at a specific time. However, the unique aspect of this alarm is that it is specifically designed to track your sleep patterns. When you set a SleepWake Alarm, the Health App monitors your sleep duration and quality. It records the time you go to bed and the time you wake up, providing you with valuable insights into your sleep habits.
  2. The SleepWake Alarm feature is intended to promote healthier sleep patterns and ensure you wake up at an appropriate time during your sleep cycle, which may lead to more refreshed mornings.


Regular Alarm (Wake-Up):

  1. On the other hand, a regular alarm clock or the standard alarm feature on your phone can also be used as a wake-up alarm. It will wake you up at the designated time, but it lacks the sleep-tracking capabilities of the SleepWake Alarm in the Health App.
  2. While a standard alarm serves its primary function of waking you up, it does not record any information about your sleep patterns or sleep duration. This means that it won't provide insights into when you went to bed or how long you slept, making it less useful for monitoring and analyzing your sleep habits over time.


In summary, the SleepWake Alarm in the Health App is specifically designed for waking you up while also tracking and recording your sleep patterns for future reference. On the other hand, a regular alarm clock only serves the purpose of waking you up without any sleep-tracking capabilities. If you are interested in monitoring your sleep habits and improving your overall sleep quality, the SleepWake Alarm in the Health App can be a valuable tool. However, if you only need a basic alarm to wake you up, a standard alarm clock will suffice.



In the Clock App --> Tap Alarm, then tap the Add button. · Set the time, then choose any of the following options: Repeat: Choose the days of the week you want the alarm to repeat.
