Thanks jj for the links.
On another note my note 3 had a option in motions and gestures to turn on the ability to cover the light sensor when the phone was laying flat and it would momentarily show the time.
Was this removed on the note 5? Seems I can't find it anywhere.

You're welcome.
Try settings, accessibility, dexterity and interactions, gesture wake up.
I think that's what you're looking for.
