Hi Terri,

I don't know if you ever received a definitive answer to your question 
about your constantly waking up iPhone 8 as you described below, but 
since my original response to you I have begun using an iPhone SE and 
experienced the exact same issue. It was driving me nuts. But, if you go 
into Settings, select Display & Brightness and toggle the "Raise to 
Wake" button to off that should resolve it for you. I believe this is an 
IOS 11 setting. My iPhone 5 was running IOS 10.3 but my SE is running 
IOS 11. When I switched "Raise to Wake" to off the problem went away. I 
have to say this setting was not in an immediately obvious place to 
find. This setting would only seem to be useful if your phone is 
remaining stationary for a length of time, such as when one is sitting 
at a desk. It's absolutely useless if one is in motion with your phone 
in a pocket or bag.

Cheers,
Duane
