AutoSleep Track Sleep on Watch 4+

This app is by far the most accurate I’ve come across. I’m a shift worker and other apps usually try to separate sleep into days, whereas this one records accurately whatever time of day I’m sleeping. If I’ve ever fallen asleep on a plane, or on the sofa, it’s caught it, and recorded it. The deep and light sleep seems to roughly correlate, and it records when you are awake at night

Life changing is a big statement I know, but for me it has been. The app allowed me to notice things that help me sleep better. For example, I noticed that on the days post night shift that I just fell into bed and didn’t have breakfast, I woke up 2 hours earlier. On the days that were emotionally tough at work, it took much longer for me to fall asleep (I now meditate on those evenings instead of watching tv). On days or evenings that I had been drinking, I got next to no deep sleep, so still woke feeling tired

In a world where we are always looking for external validation, this works. I can ‘feel’ if I’ve not had enough sleep, but being able to see it clearly in front of you helps to correct sleep or plan for sleep. I feel MUCH less guilty taking a nap in the middle of the day, when I can see that if I do, I will reach a sleep goal, and it has helped me make healthier choices when it comes to sleep. Sleep affects everything, so it’s worth putting some work in to

I’ve been using this app for around 3 weeks, and it is probably one of the most in-depth sleep trackers on the App Store today. Other sleep apps such as Pillow on the App Store offer similar services, but if you’re looking for something to track your sleep just by going to bed, you’re in the right place. Optionally you are able to press the button on your Apple Watch to tell the App you’re going to bed and it will tell you how long it takes to fall asleep at night. If you’re like me and don’t sleep very well (I’m disabled in a wheelchair) it is an interesting statistic to add to your Health data.

Be advised though, if you are somewhat inactive during the day for example, sitting watching TV, playing a game on a laptop, or Xbox; the app may detect that through your inactivity “you are asleep” when you’re actually wide awake defeating a whole lot of baddies on that level you’ve been stuck on... but the app being as in depth as it is, allows you to go into your day and adjust accordingly, and instantly updates through your Health App on your next visit. I’ve found myself opening this app when I wake and comparing my sleep data to the previous days and being given some interesting information.

Intuitive, in depth and a comprehensive app for your sleep data. Fantastic app for all kinds of sleepers.

I always activate lights off from iphone home screen widget. Since yesterday's update this widget has been replaced by a completely pointless info panel, a complete waste of time as this info and more can simply be accessed by opening the app. Of course the developer thinks it knows best and has given no option to chose - not happy! The app is generally good, although there are some small niggles e.g. the readiness and fuel change from previous day does not always reflect the actual change; for me, what is most frustrating is the so called trends which are just a rolling 28 days; this is not a trend, a trend is useful only when several months of data can be analysed. Overall the app is good and has richer features than the standard Apple sleep tracker, and it detects sleep outside of a "sleep focus" which is good, the sleep tracking is quite accurate and the readiness score is also good Overall I am happy but the removal of the useful lights off feature is a negative point otherwise would have been 4 stars as the developer has the opportunity to improve the trend analysis which remains the apps main weak point.

Update: developer has added the lights off toggle back to the iphone homescreen, I have got used to doing from watch now, but it is nice the developers are listening to their customers, I added the extra star and would recommend this app.
