Leave a Review AutoSleep Track Sleep on Watch
Less useful for shift workers
So I really like this app and have been using it for a few years now, but one thing that really bothers me is that you are limited on when the day turns over and your sleep will start counting towards the next day. When changing that setting you can only choose from 5 pm to midnight. As someone who does shift work, I would love to set my day to change over at noon, as I usually sleep in the afternoon. So if my “new day” starts at 5 and I go to sleep at 3, then I end up with my sleep split between yesterday and today, which makes it difficult to track properly. And I could set the day to start at midnight, but on my days off when I “sleep in” I usually wake up after midnight and then I encounter the same problem.
Also the app seems to have difficulty figuring out what to do with your rings if you wake up for a couple hours and then take a nap. Which I understand is less than ideal sleep and isn’t a problem that most people have but it happens to me often enough to warrant mentioning.
At the very least if they could change it so I can choose any time during the day to start tracking my sleep (like how it was years ago) I would gladly change the rating to 5 stars. Aside from that one real gripe, the app is awesomeShow lessChappy024
More accurate every day
It’s been using pillow since I first bought my Apple Watch, and generally found it accurate at night, but it rarely registered unplanned naps. The new built in sleep tracking only tracks if you have it in sleep mode, so unless you intended on a power nap and turned that on, it wouldn’t catch it. This AutoSleep app was recommended in the health app (along with pillow) and I decided to give it a try. It almost always catches those crash out on the couch and suddenly it’s three hours later evenings, and if it doesn’t, the calibration tool will find it with a nudge or two. The longer I use it, the less corrections I need to make.
My only negative is that sometimes it claims I have not been wearing my watch and there’s no calibration clocks available, but on those occasions the missing data appeared later on or the next day.
The customization tools are nice, like how long between sleep times to be considered a separate sleep session and whether or not to throw out nights with 0 sleep (us insomniacs want to track how many 0s actually happen)Show lessKatlouis
Absolutely indispensable
“Auto Sleep” is one of the most utilitarian and informational apps that I have ever used. I rely upon it every day to assess my overall health in conjunction with my heart rate variability and the amount of time spent in deep sleep.
I survived a “Widow-maker” (100% blocked L.A.D.) heart attack 11 years ago, and I am diabetic— both conditions well under control. Thanks to “Auto Sleep” I’m able to determine how well my blood sugar management and cardiac health program are working to keep me healthy. Being able to see how much of my sleep is spent in deep sleep shows me how well my body is healing up at night. In conjunction with AM blood glucose levels, knowing my heart rate variability, and blood pressure reading, I know that my health plan is effectively keeping me alive and well.
“Auto Sleep” is an indispensable part of my self-monitoring that gives me significant peace of mind and eliminates the anxiety of managing serious health conditions like mine. Wearing my Apple watch to bed was something alien to me before I began using this app. Now, it’s not only second nature, but a welcome tool in my health arsenal—I wouldn’t want to be without it.Show lessPhuqit
The best sleep app for data
I can't fault this app. It has seamless integration with the apple watch and it's helping me sort my bad sleeping habits. There is one other sleeping app out there I like, but the only thing it does differently is turn my lights on and off, record any snoring and offer meditation - bonus is it works fine along this app so I can have my cake and eat it. If I had to choose, I’d choose auto sleep, but it seems to be low on resources so it works well with other apps in the background. I'm not sure if Autosleep links to hue lights, maybe the developer could tell me? There is so much to this app and it's other apps (autowake and heart watch) that I haven't got to that option yet. Auto sleep is hands down the best for collecting data and the GUI is quite lovely and intuitive.
Love this app!Show less1borabora
Superb sleep monitoring app
I have been using this app for over a year now in an iPhone and Apple iWatch combination. I manually tell the app from my Watch when I’m lying down to sleep and when I wake for best accuracy. I find the readings to be realistic, so the overall feedback over days, weeks, and months help me keep in touch with how well I’m sleeping (or not). The interfaces and displays are so good, they seem futuristic—like something you might see in a Sci Fi movie, but this is no prop. The density and elegance of the information summaries are truly useful. You start to pick up on useful patterns that you might not otherwise have noticed like your deep sleep patterns or the trajectory of your heart rate through the night versus the time you go to sleep. No surprise, in the end, I’ve found that consistent sleep habits, regular exercise, and moderate-to-no evening consumption of alcohol are the best, so I use this app to tract the consistency of bedtimes and wake times and the effect, if any, of a glass of wine in the evening.Show lessOliect
Fabulous sleep app
I’ve been using this app since mid April. I tried two or three other apps but couldn’t get on with them. This AutoSleep app is really fantastic. Generally I don’t sleep well which is bad for my health so by tracking the results of the app I can pinpoint some areas for me to improve. For instance, when I go to sleep after midnight, I mainly sleep badly with very little deep sleep. When I go to bed before eleven, and read for a bit, it seems that I sleep for longer and with better quality sleep. Also, I sleep better if not had any alcohol. I keep a note of these specifics so that I can compare these against the results of the app. There are lots of good features in the app, I particularly like being able to see the overall results month by month. Highly recommend this app for iWatch wearers!Show lessAmandabettine
Doesn’t work very well
Honestly, I’m kinda mad. I paid for an app to track my sleep, and it just simply doesn’t do it very well. This is the third night in a row I’ve done everything correct. I’ve told the app “lights off” to start tracking my sleep. It hasn’t. It keeps saying there’s an error, which is annoying. I’m wearing my watch every night, I’m the correct position. I’m putting my phone on my bedside table and not moving it. I’m doing the lights off thing. It just doesn’t work. It’s also pretty annoying that every night I have to set the alarm to remind myself to charge my watch a bit before bed. It’s like that alarm just…disappears every day. I paid $4 for this app, and I want my money back. The Health app tracks my sleep better than this app tbh. Not to mention the app is very confusing to use, I had to watch the tips and into like 3 times to figure it out when I first downloaded the app. The only good thing about this app is the wake up alarm (which I can’t set on an automatic schedule either. I have to set it every night I want to wake up with it). It’s nice waking up to a soft nudge, but that’s about it.
Summary: the app is confusing, and doesn’t track sleep very accurately. The wake alarm is alright, and it’s nice not paying for a subscription. If you want to waste $4, get the app. If you want to save your hard earned money, find a different app :)Show lesseurika.baked29
Wondering if it's worth it?
I did too. I have been using the apple watch side the series 1, only when I bought the series 6 did I buy and start using this app and its just amazing. The information it offers can sometimes be overwhelming at the stary. It trust me you will grow into it and everything will make sense. To start just follow the sleep dials. This almost changed the way I sleep and prepare for the day ahead and notice patterns whicb I otherwise would not. I pushed my reluctant friends to use this and now they find it indispensable.Show lessJeewanRajamani
Brilliant app
After struggling with secondary insomnia for years where I sleep until 1 or 2 am and wake with chronic pain I have been using Sleep App to track my sleep and my sleep hygiene. I love how you can see your improvements and also track the bad nights and start to develop strategies to assist this. Really great App of the sleep apps I have it’s the best and most informativeShow lessjaniebell76
