User level: Level 1 (19 points)In past few weeks my Apple Watch 9 won’t stay in Sleep Focus all night. None of my settings changed in my iPhone 16 or my watch.
My sleep focus is set to turn on automatically at bed time. My watch will be in sleep focus. Sometime overnight, my watch will flip back into personal focus. My phone will still be in sleep. Nothing in personal focus has a scheduled turn on during that period.
I have already tried restarts.

Check Share Across Devices in your Focus settings, as a desync between your iPhone 16 and Apple Watch Series 9 can cause the watch to drop out of Sleep Focus while the phone remains in it.

Already tried that. Thanks though.

Completely wiped watch. Still happening. But turns out I think it is the phone as they are indeed both changing. Will close this thread and open new.
