Grok- night 1 worked but I'm confused about sun

Ds age 2 and a half has been waking at 5.30am since the arrival of his sibling a couple of months back. This has been killing me because ds2 is a brilliant 7-7 sleeper and ds1 used to wake at 7am.
Anyway yesterday I bought a gro clock and set the time for 6.30am (I know you're meant to do it gradually but I just wanted to give it a shot).
Anyway it worked, at 6.40 he came into our bedroom telling us the sun was up! I was elated.
However when I asked him to show me, the screen was in standby mode so had turned blue again. He was like "oh is it bedtime now again mummy?"
Am I missing something?! I assumed it would stay on the sun for at least an hour! Because what if he woke up at 7am instead, the screen would still be blue so surely he'd think it's still sleep time? Please help! Have i set it wrong?

The sun stays on for 2 hours but I'd imagine in his excitement that he webt to it and may have pressed a button which brought stand by back.

Glad it worked. Worked a treat for DS1 and we just introduced it for DS2 this week too. Working so far!

Either put it up high or google the child lock function (it has one but I’ve forgotten how to do it, as my kids can now read clocks so we got rid of ours). Little fingers fiddle...

It was a game changer for us - so useful. We were very boring and consistent about using it, which I think helped.

Glad you were able to understand that! Just realised the title made no sense!

Ahh okay that makes much more sense I forgot it's unlocked when the sun comes up so I guess he must have pressed it! Thanks!
