Is there a setting to keep AOD active all night? i keep my phone on the charger on my night stand and I noticed when i wake up, the AOD is off. I would actually prefer for it to stay on so It can replace my nightstand clock.
Got a tip for us?

I guess the only way to do it is to never enable Sleep mode on your iPhone, and only use it on your Apple Watch if you have one
I don’t have sleep mode on and it still shut off after 1/2 hour.
According to Apple, one of the scenarios where the AOD turns off is:
- You haven't used your iPhone for a while (your iPhone learns your activity patterns and turns the display off and on accordingly, including if you set up an alarm or sleep schedule)
The purpose of the AOD is so you can see it. If you're asleep, you can't see it. So along with the myriad of other conditions where it intelligently turns off AOD, while it thinks you're asleep and knows that you definitely aren't using it are wisely among those conditions.
"I just want it to stay on anyway while I'm asleep and not looking at it" isn't a condition anyone in human interface design would take seriously.

I also would like the AOD to be an actual AOD during sleep. When I open my eyes for a second, I immediately fall asleep again. If I first have to "hey Siri" the phone or move my arm and hand to touch it, I always wake up and cannot go back to sleep easily.
There are clock apps in the App Store that will prevent the display from turning off - so the clock will show forever until you exit.
Don’t need an iPhone 14 with AOD to have a clock visible all night long.

"it" isn't a condition anyone in human interface design would take seriously." But HUMANS should take it seriously, because they would understand why some people would want the screen on all the time, as this thread shows as well as a number of others on MR.
"The purpose of the AOD is so you can see it. If you're asleep, you can't see it." But now if you wake up and look over at your phone, you still can't see it, because IT'S OFF.

Nothing new!
They should just let the AOD be always on as long as it’s connected to power.
