It’s Now Faster to Exit Sleep Mode

If you sleep with your Apple Watch, you probably set it up so it enters the Sleep Focus mode at a specific time at night. This basically locks the Apple Watch, so you can’t accidentally light up the screen while you’re sleeping.

However, you probably know that if you want to use your Apple Watch at night, you need to press and hold the digital crown for what it feels like forever. After three seconds, the Apple Watch will exit the Sleep mode, so you can use it normally.

However, watchOS 11 now makes it easier to exit Sleep mode. Instead of pressing for three long seconds, you’ll only need to press the Digital Crown once, and your Apple Watch will be ready to go.
