What apps do people recommend? Do you use them in Nightstand mode with your Watch on the nightstand, or while wearing the watch to sleep?
How do you avoid false triggers? It never thinks you’re asleep when you are just kicking back and relaxing? Maybe I had mine setup incorrectly.Strongly recommend both AutoSleep and HeartWatch.

I've found Pillow to be way more accurate than AutoSleep. So happy Pillow user here .
I have Sleep Watch but haven’t really looked at it since starting to use AutoSleep; I’ve just taken a look and it is much improved.

I use Sleep Watch. It integrates with the Apple Health app and has a nice detailed iPhone app of it's own. Many sleep tracking apps require you to trigger the app when you go to sleep. Sleep Watch knows when you are sleeping, so no special interaction to remember before sleeping is required.
My watch's battery life is great with this app, I go to bed with 100% battery (Apple Watch Series 3) and—after a seven or eight hour sleep—I wake with the battery at around 96%.
The problem with AutoSleep is that it always tells me my sleep quality is 100% even if I had a crap night with a lot of tossing and turning. Pillow picks that all up without a problem though.
Sleep Watch has been accurate for me.I downloaded ‘pillow’ last night and only had one sleep in it. You have to manually trigger it, but seems to work well. I have no frame of reference to compare with.
Are the apps which automatically trigger sleep accurate?
I’m glad that the OP started this thread, thanks.

Try Theater mode (or--at the least--Do Not Disturb mode). I have my iPhone set to automatically go into DND mode and the watch automatically follows that schedule. Therefore, when I'm sleeping DND on my watch is activated without me having to actively set it.I use Sleep Watch and I like it, seems to be accurate enough. It says I get much better sleep than my Garmin (I agree more with AW results) but you can adjust the sensitivity if need be.
Would putting my Watch in airplane mode at night save battery? I already had DND on every night so no notifications are coming through. I guess airplane mode would just cut off Bluetooth then. I seem to lose 7-10% at night with the wrist raise off.
