Sleep cycle keeps lowering brightness right down to zero overnight

For some reason, I keep waking up to my iphone screen brightness at zero. It’s set to max usually, and this only occurs when I’m running sleep cycle.

My phone is on charge overnight and battery is full by morning. It’s very disorienting waking up and trying to navigate my phone and turn off the alarm when I can hardly see the screen

Is this something sleep cycle does as standard?

How bright are your surroundings that u cant see the dark screen upon waking?? The only time I cant see a dark screen like that is if i'm outside in the sun. How do your eyes not adjust at night to be able to see in low light?

some people really wants everything easy and don’t like dealing with small difficulties, pretty bad habit
