Apple in iOS 12 added a new feature to Do Not Disturb, helping you to sleep well without getting distracted with your iPhone, the new feature is a setting mode allows you to quiet your iPhone entirely during the bedtime.
A lot of us wake up at the midnight to check the time and surprisingly, a bunch of notifications shows off to you demanding your attention or tempting you to open up some apps, which makes you sometimes difficult to get back to sleep again.
With the bedtime mode is turned on, when you activate the display on your iPhone is dimmed and black, only showing up the time, the state of the battery charge, and the moon symbol with a message telling you that the Bedtime Mode is enabled.
