How to get out of sleep mode on instagram?

My friend keeps joking about being in 'sleep mode' on Instagram, where they don't see notifications. I don't even know how to do that. Is there an actual setting or a trick to get out of sleep mode on Instagram if you accidentally enable it?

I had this issue on my app recently. You just need to go to your Profile, tap the three lines on top right, select 'Settings and privacy', then tap 'Quiet mode' under 'How you use Instagram' and turn it off.

My Instagram notifications suddenly stopped working because of this sleep mode thing and I got so worried I was missing important messages. Has anyone else's app automatically activated this feature?

I wish my brain had an easy switch to turn off sleep mode like Instagram does! You just have to go to settings, click on notifications, and slide off the Quiet Mode button.

While you can easily turn off quiet mode in the app settings, sometimes having these quiet periods is actually a blessing for mental peace. Stay positive and take some screen-free time for yourself.

Quiet mode is meant to help you focus during work hours, but if it is annoying, just open the app settings, search for 'Quiet Mode' in the search bar, and toggle it off. It takes less than 30 seconds.
