Differences between Sleep app and AutoSleep (alien.top)

Does anyone else here use the AutoSleep app and are now getting big differences between it and the normal Sleep app? Last two nights it says I only got 5 hours sleep but the time it says I was awake I was definitely asleep. The Sleep app says I was asleep as well.

Both are bad.

The apps use different algorithms

I have been using both and have had big differences too. The Autosleep app marks times I just roll over as awake times often. Deep sleep is seldom the same. You can go into the app settings and tweek it to get it closer. With the latest watch OS 10 updates lots of things are kinda screwed up.

You can adjust the sensitivity of AutoSleep if you don't feel it's reporting sleep data right. Tap the Settings icon in the dock at the bottom (on the iPhone app) and then tap "Sleep/Wake calibration". It shows you how the sleep time would change with each of 10 different settings.

The stock sleep app says that I am asleep when I know that I am awake; AutoSleep seems to do a better job for me. There are times when it says that I was awake when I am pretty sure that I was not, but those times are pretty rare. I've been using the app for 6.5 years.
