Before I updated to iOS15, my DND during sleep would let me have various shortcuts on the lock screen. It'd say 'Shortcuts" on the dimmed lock screen, I'd tap it, and it'd give me a few options. This is how I turned out my lights before going to sleep. Now I'm opening my phone and staring at a bright screen and clicking a few things to get to it. Yes, it's still manageable, but obviously it's harder instead of easier as it seems updated OSs 'should' be.

TL, DR: Can anybody tell me how to get shortcuts back on the lock screen in Sleep/DND mode?

Nvm. Figured it out. :)
 
Funny you should ask because I'm not sure. I redid the couple of shortcuts I want on my lock screen in the evening and did all the turn on/off stuff I could find, but honestly I'm not sure I did anything. It either corrected itself or some magic happened. All I know is that the Shortcuts didn't show up on my Lock Screen during Wind Down / Sleep until last/Sunday night, and I'd had iOS15 up for about a week; it's there now, so I'm happy.
 
Also noticed that I couldn't find options on the Notifications that showed up on my Lock Screen throughout the day: no more 'remind me in one hour' or 'remind me tomorrow' sort of thing. And then again, yesterday it was suddenly there.

Magic that I can't explain can be fun. :)
