Yes I just read about "AutoSleep". I bought it today and am going to try it out tonight.
AutoSleep. Track Sleep from Watch Automatically by Tantsissa

After doing some tweaking, AutoSleep works great. it nailed my sleep/wakeup times perfectly last night.

I think you're missing the point of this question.

Yes, I think you are right that I have missed the point of this question.
Sleep Watch has worked very well for me in the week or so that I've had it.
I have been using Sleep Watch for several weeks and am quite happy with it. It does a reasonably good job of identifying my sleep and wake times and it runs automatically and syncs the data to its companion phone app (and incorporates the date into the native Health data). It is not perfect at sensing wake and sleep, but given my extremely fragmented sleep issues, it is pretty good. And I like that you can edit the wake/sleep time info to reflect each nights' actual sleep times (including wake/arousal times during the night). I am in no way associated with the makers of Sleep Watch, just a satisfied customer.
gt pics ?
[doublepost=1482513283][/doublepost]BTW, does the app automatically knows when u are sleeping, or everetime u goto sleep or wake up, u have to click a button on the watch ?
Need something which is completely on its own and also auto sync to apple health data.
Let me know.
One of the nice features of Sleep Watch is that, if you get up in the middle of the night and the app doesn't realize that you went back to sleep, it is VERY easy to adjust things to capture the times you went back to sleep.

This is the issue I am having sometimes with Sleep Watch. It does a great job most of the time but sometimes it shows I only got 3 hours of sleep because I hit the can around 2am.
Whoops--I should have said Sleep Watch not AutoSleep (I edited my post above). Sorry about that. SW lets you easily adjust sleep times using their "confirm sleep times" feature.
I've tried about 5 sleep tracking apps - free and paid. Sleep Watch was ok and didn't require you to press a start and stop - like AutoSleep. It was pretty accurate, but some nights it had me sleeping 4 hours when I slept 8 without waking. Autosleep has been much better and has more information.
He may have tweaked using the "tweak" option to set the rough estimates of when you normally sleep. I just made a wide range of 8pm to 6am as I am always up by 6am. It has tracked my sleep without running an app on the watch and it has been very accurate and adds more information about sleep quality and HR to give a bigger/better picture of your sleep.
After trying Sleep ++, Sleep Pulse, Sleep Watch and Pillow, I think AutoSleep is the best. No question. Pillow would be second and the rest are weak at best. So inaccurate.
You can check the app for pictures. The Tweak option allows you to set the rough time frames for sleep, sensitivity and more... I am quite impressed with AutoSleep.
That is exactly what I have discovered. AutoSleep is supraisingly accurate. Also very easy to edit afterwards. Sadly I'm getting stand hours during the night.
(OS 3.1.1/S2)
Getting stand alerts as well... sometimes just once, sometimes 3-4 times when i know I am asleep. Happened before I purchased Autosleep so I know that isn't the cause. 🙂 Same O/S, same hardware as you.

I really want to like AutoSleep. I use HeartWatch as well and find it to be a great app. Unfortunately, after using AutoSleep for a good solid week, I have yet for it to get my sleep right once. Each morning I have to adjust the entries it records. Some nights it has me falling asleep a few hours after i actually fell asleep. Sometimes it has me awake for a few hours in the middle of the night.
I have tried adjust sensitivity trying to find that sweet spot but no luck. I am going to keep playing around with it in the hopes I can make it work. It is the best app I have used to date for sleep tracking from a UI and information perspective. Just wish I could get at least 1 accurate night that I do not need to edit in the AM.
