Run shortcuts when Sleep Focus is active on iPhone
When you set a sleep schedule in the Health app, Sleep Focus filters out notifications and phone calls. When Sleep Focus is on (at bedtime, for example), you can run shortcuts from the Lock Screen of your iPhone. For example, you can run Sleep Focus shortcuts to create an entry in your journal, check your calendar to prepare for tomorrow, send a goodnight message and get lost in your favourite book.
To use a shortcut during Sleep Focus, you must first enable the shortcut to run from the Lock Screen. You can also use event triggers to automatically run a shortcut when you’re winding down for bed, in bed or waking to an alarm.

In My Shortcuts in the Shortcuts app on your iPhone, tap on a shortcut, then tap to open Details.
