I overslept because iOS 14 disabled my alarm

I exclusively use the bedtime alarm and it did not disable itself for me. I only learned that it moved from the clock app to health app after it woke me up and I wanted to change the wake up time.

Same here, the "bedtime alarm" went off as normal this morning and it's what I use to wake up every morning. I updated to iOS 14 yesterday evening. I wonder what differs, maybe the model or some other factor like whether you have other alarms at all (even disabled).

"bedtime alarm" ... it's what I use to wake up every morning

Non-native English speaker here: doesn't bedtime refer to the time you go to bed, not the time you have to wake up? I mean, I was reading "bedtime alarm" and thought "so people these days use an alarm to tell them when to go to bad? crazy times" but then that shifted in "wait does an application use a rather confusing term for something as common as getting out of bed?"

I'm a native English speaker, and that term is definitely wrong for a wake-up alarm. I can't imagine an alarm for when to go to bed, and it definitely doesn't apply to what someone would set on an standard "alarm clock" to wake them up in the morning.

Even when it's a phone call instead of an alarm we say "wake up call". I've never, ever heard the phrase "bedtime alarm" before.

I really hope Apple didn't call it that.

"Bedtime" is an Apple feature that helps you manage sleep time. Basically you tell when you want to go to bed and wake up and it sets a reminder for bedtime and an alarm for wake up time, then it tracks how much time you sleep. I'm guessing people are saying "Bedtime alarm" to indicate it's the alarm that's set as part of the "Bedtime" feature.

There’s two parts to the alarm and it isn’t consistently called “the bedtime alarm” by Apple to my knowledge. The first part is the “bedtime” alarm (it’s time to go to bed!) and the second part is the wake-up, which makes it slightly different in that and other ways from a normal alarm.

Ah, that makes sense, sort of.

Its the alarm set by the Bedtime feature that lets you choose a sleep duration. You can easily rotate the slider to change it, for example if you need to wake up early. It also prompts you to get ready for bed.

As a native English, but non-Apple user, you're right this is confusing nomenclature, but I intuited what it was supposed to mean.

"or some other factor like whether you have other alarms at all (even disabled)"

This is the only thing I can think of as a reason why. I have no other active alarms, iPhone 6s.

I think the actual annoying technology part would be that in my half-awake stupor I wasn't able to find that the bedtime alarm moved to the health app without Googling it. As searching "bedtime" in the app search bar still shows the old bedtime app and still launches you into the clock app.

I also updated last night and work up to my Bedtime alarm this morning. Given the amount of people in this thread saying the same, I wonder if the OP actually adjusted something and in fact was not iOS's fault.
