Ensuring a consistent sleep schedule is crucial for overall well-being. Often, our sleep is disrupted by incoming calls, and although we can use the "Do Not Disturb" (DND) mode on our smartphones, it might block important calls and messages. Imagine a feature that could automatically activate DND at a specific time and then turn it off after your first alarm, while still allowing priority contacts to reach you.

Thankfully, Android offers a solution to all these challenges. It includes a scheduling option within the DND mode, enabling users to set specific times for DND activation. Additionally, it allows DND to be disabled after the first alarm, providing great convenience. Moreover, you can set priority contacts to bypass the DND mode, ensuring you don't miss important calls or messages.

If you're intrigued by this feature and want to learn how to use it, here's a detailed guide on setting up a sleep schedule in the Do Not Disturb mode:
