I love the AutoSleep app and looking at the data it looks like my alarm often jolts me out of sleep during a deep sleep phase leaving me feeling groggy when I wake up.
I decided to pick up AutoWake last week. Five days on and I still can’t get it to work. I’ve set a scheduled alarm for everyday, with a 30 min bump but nothing happens.
I have the complication on the watch face and the phone always plugged in and within range, and made sure that the app is allowed during downtime.
I swap my series 5 watch for my series 3 at night. I had problems with Things 3 not working when switching between two watches and wondered if that could be the problem.
I might drop the developer an email and see if it’s a known issue. It’s not feasible to wear the series 5 all day for me and then through the night for sleep tracking because the battery is so terrible.
I put it on at 7.30am in the morning, wear it all day including a 1 hr workout and by the time I go to sleep at around 11pm it will be under 30%. So I switch to the series 3 for sleep tracking and let the series 5 charge overnight.
Last night I removed the AutoWake app from my series 5. Set the alarm for 7.30am and set it to bump me in light sleep with a 30 minute window. I woke up at 8.18am with AutoWake having counted past the time in the complication.
I think it might be time to try sleep cycle instead.
