Ease of Use: AutoSleep Tracker for Watch ($2.99)

If my watch is 100% before bed, I’m still at 95% in the morning, even with a restless night.

I also set it to Airplane mode and Do Not Disturb to get notifications and interruptions. I learned how annoying the light could be at night. If you wear your watch to bed, be sure to at the very least set it to theater mode. Some bands can catch on sheets or skin, so your mileage may vary. If the band is comfortable, I haven’t had a problem. Isn’t It Annoying Wearing a Watch to Bed? However, most of the apps only provide summaries on the Watch. Some apps like Pillow let you tell if you’re sleeping to get advanced data. They don’t need to since your watch records all your movements. While some apps have Apple Watch equivalents, the apps don’t do the tracking. If you’re lying down, not moving, and it’s night, then you’re probably sleeping. They’ll use the health data from the watch to figure out what’s going on with your body. Most of the apps don’t track sleep directly.

I’ve tried other trackers in the past that specialize in sleep tracking as well as general fitness trackers, but the Apple Watch seems to provide the most accurate and actionable data.
