Would you use sleep tracking in rumoured series 6?

I currently have a Series 4 and I really don’t have any complaints about it from a performance or battery life perspective. I have severe trouble sleeping even with medical assistance so sleep tracking is very important to me. I currently use Auto Sleep but would love for a native Apple solution as I know an Apple solution would likely have fewer restrictions and hopefully more accuracy than a third party solution.

From the latest rumors of S6 watch, we may see native sleep tracking for S4, S5 and S6. Oximeter, mental health sensing, S6 chip, and better battery life all hardware-based so only on the new watch.

Which in return means you lose 2-3 hours of your acitive awake day to charge the watch so that you can track sleep. I wish more progress would happen on the battery life front.

I charge mine before bed, wear it to bed to track my sleeping pattern, and top it off in the morning. I’m usually at 80-86% by 6am. I take it off the charger at 6:45am. My watch never takes 2-3 hours to top up or even charge when I’m at 30% at night.

This is where i could see reverse wireless charging be useful on the new iPhone 12 to charge the watch when it is low on battery for those who will use the sleep tracking feature

Hm, I don’t find that a convenient solution. You’d need to keep your phone still for quite a while to get any decent charge into the watch.

Sleep tracking doesn't work with my lifestyle, unfortunately. I've tried it using Fitbit devices, as well as sleep tracking apps for Apple watch.

I don't want a device/app where I need to press a button to tell it I'm going to sleep - and the reason no auto apps/devices work for me is that every night when I get into bed, I read for 1-2 hours on an e-reading device. So, my body, and hands barely move at all that entire time. Sleep tracking apps/devices always show me going to sleep immediately while I'm actually reading for quite some time.

Therefore I cannot get an accurate reading. I do sleep with my AW every night though...

Have you tried "SleepWatch"? They have a button, "Lights Out" that will keep it from thinking you're asleep until you "turn out the lights". I've found it's quite accurate for those times that I'm in bed but not actually sleeping.
