The Curious Incident of the Alarm in the Night

My iPad wakes me every morning before dark. It is a repeated event set in the calendar. I did it this way rather than an alarm set in the clock app so I could rollover and ignore it if I wanted to stay in bed, as the sound did not continue.

I now find that the “Bedtime” facility in the clock app more to my liking which gently wakes me with the dawn chorus so I deleted "this event and all future events" in the calendar app. There are now no calendar events showing however the sound continues to play every morning.

Should I reset something in the iPad?

Before dark (or before dawn?) early mornings invariably leave me even more confused than ever :) However, recently a somewhat similar local situation was fixed by shutting down and then restarting iOS. That's a complete Shutdown, not just a Quit.

I think I tried this but I'll have another go. (I won't find out if it worked until tomorrow)

Are you sure it's Calendar giving the alert? I think you were using Reminders at one point, have you checked there?
