Use iPod touch during your Sleep Focus

Sleep Focus filters out notifications and phone calls, and it signals to others that you’re not available. Your Sleep Focus begins at the bedtime you schedule in the Health app , but you can schedule your Sleep Focus to begin earlier by setting a wind down period before bedtime.

Note: You can customize your Sleep Focus to allow interruptions by notifications important to you and phone calls from people important to you. Go to Settings > Focus > Sleep, then customize your options. See Set up a Focus.

If you relax before sleep by using iPod touch for activities like reading or listening to music, you can select shortcuts to these activities during your Sleep Focus.

You can also dismiss the Sleep Focus screen to use other iPod touch features.
