The face stays brightly on all night and disturbs my sleep. It used to go off when I didn’t move for a while. How can I make it go off??

Hello @MastiffGrl ! It’s great to have you on board!

We'd be happy to help you with any questions you have about how to disable "Always on Display" mode. 

On your watch screen swipe down to see quick settings, tap on the "Always on Display" icon (a small square clock), when the option is off the icon turns gray.

If you want more information about your watch settings please take a look to the following article: How do I navigate my Fitbit device?

Welcome back to the Fitbit community, @MastiffGrl!

Adding to the manual option for turning off AOD mentioned by @MaCrisGBFitbit, you can also set a schedule for that. To do so please enter settings on your Versa 4 first by swiping down from the watchface and tapping on the gear icon in the upper right corner. Then scroll to the fourth widget that covers settings for silent modes on your device. Just tap on it and scroll to sleep mode, where you finally can set a plan for that.
Keep in mind though that your device will also not alarm you about notifications during the time span defined there.
