What does AutoSleep offer above and beyond Apple’s Health app?

I have (and recommend) a white noise machine at home, but when I travel, I use the awesome MyNoise app, which lets you EQ the noise precisely so you can target the specific annoyance in your environment.

In my experience. After initial setup, it is way more accurate.

Apple commonly says I get more hours of sleep than I know I do. Apple counts just being relaxed as sleeping. Whereas I can tune AutoSleep to correctly identify the difference between me sleep and just being super relaxed. Thus I get a much more accurate image of what is working

Also the apple sleep graph is actually terrible. Almost impossible to understand when wake up are occurring.

I will definitely check it out then as I am frustrated by the same problem where Apple shows me as asleep when I am meditating myself back to sleep. It even shows me as sleeping when I have pushed the crown to see the time!
