Quick answers

The red wake didn’t ring.: In Settings, check that Alarms and Notifications are allowed for Wake Back to Red. The notification is a backup wake.
There was no alarm tonight.: Alarm nights are never two in a row; on rest nights everything else still runs. Choose Use the alarm anyway on the Tonight screen if you want one. Nights shorter than six hours have no alarm.
Can I use a colour other than red?: Amber. Pull up the sheet and change the trigger colour.
Where are my dreams?: In the sheet that pulls up from the bottom of the screen.
Which iPhones?: Any iPhone with iOS 26 or later.

Alarm nights cost a little sleep. Skip them before a big day or a long drive.
Waking up unable to move is sleep paralysis. It’s harmless and it passes. Breathe slowly and wiggle a toe.
If dreams and real life are hard for you to tell apart, or you have serious sleep problems, ask a doctor first. Wake Back to Red is not medical advice.

Built on the red-light technique taught by Daniel Love in The Easiest Lucid Dreaming Technique Ever (Probably). Wake Back to Red is not affiliated with him.

The quiet tone after you fall back asleep follows Konkoly et al., 2024, a study of sound cues for lucid dreaming at home.
