iOS 27 Health app Sleep Schedule alarm does not support “Workdays (including adjusted holidays)” option

Detailed Description:
Dear Apple,
In iOS 27, the standard alarms within the Clock app now feature a welcome option: “Workdays (including adjusted holidays)”. This function correctly recognizes China’s official public holidays and compensatory workdays (tiaoxiu), and it is a much-valued localization feature for users in mainland China.
However, the Sleep Schedule / Wake Up alarm in the Health app still does not offer this option. Users can only select fixed days of the week (Monday through Sunday). Consequently, on compensatory workdays that land on weekends, the Health app alarm will not trigger. Conversely, it may still ring on official holidays if they fall on a normal weekday.
For many users, the Health app’s Sleep Schedule serves as our primary wake-up alarm, because it integrates seamlessly with Sleep Focus, bedtime reminders and sleep tracking. The regular Clock app alarm is only used as a secondary alternative. The lack of the “Workdays (including adjusted holidays)” repeat option in Health creates notable inconvenience.
Please consider adding this same repeat option to the Sleep Schedule alarm in the Health app. This would align its behaviour with the Clock app and properly follow China’s official holiday calendar.
Thank you for your ongoing efforts to improve localization for users in mainland China.
Best regards
