I have tried a few but they all seem to be putting the priority on features I don’t need, like recording the sounds while I sleep. I would just like a log of when I fall asleep and when I wake up.

EDIT: Here is my plan B, until I find an app: when I go to bed, I send a text message to myself. When I wake up, I do the same. It gets automatically time-stamped. Example:

“Ok Google, send a text saying Good Night to NemoWuming”

“Ok Google, send a text saying Good Morning to NemoWuming”

    I’ve used Sleep as Android for several years. It does a great job of determining when I’m asleep and awake and even offers recommendations based on the data it collects.

    It is very hard to do that accurately. Fitness watches use accelerometers to detect body movement, pulse measurement etc. and still aren’t great. Real monitoring uses a lot more instruments including EEG. If you think you might need that, ask your Dr about a sleep study.

    I have a cheap smartwatch (amazfit bip) that tracks sleep and I have found it to be very accurate for me. I assume it tracks when I fall asleep based on heart rate and movement?

    Anyways it plays nicely with my android phone and only cost about $50 and honestly I’m pretty happy with it! I was pretty skeptical at first but it’s really handy as a fitness tracker too and I feel like it encourages me to stand up and exercise more.

    I also have a somewhat erratic sleep schedule and it’s nice to know when I’m starting to get into a sleep deficit and need to get caught up.

      I have a Bip as well, and aside from the silly name I love it. Even after 5 years a single charge lasts more than a month.

      It tracks my sleep and steps, and is always on (other smartwatches turn the display off to save the battery).

      It doesn’t do all the fanciest things. I can’t answer phone calls or send text messages (it will display received messages), but the advantages far away the drawbacks.
