How do you like AutoSleep? I’ve been interested in finding a decent Apple Watch solution for sleep tracking but it’s been a few years since I’ve tried those apps.

AutoSleep is game-changing because you don’t have to do anything, it just tracks.
With SleepCycle I only used it 10% of the days because I had to consciously choose to turn it on!
But the best sleep by far has been the last month, when I've reduce alcohol to 0 for 6 nights a week, just once on the weekend.
Using AutoSleep on Apple Watch you can see the insane differences. My deep sleep is often over 2 hours, which is when I literally feel like my brain has been rinsed. Got 4 hours of deep sleep last night which is a bit high.
When tracking on nights after alcohol, deep sleep is often just 15-30 minutes. Focus is all out of whack the next day after alcohol too.
Interestingly, if drinking during the day and I stop drinking alcohol by like 5pm (day drinking) such as on the weekend, the impact is not nearly as bad.
