I'm surprised no one mentioned Sleep as Android yet... Super-integrated into third-party tools (sometimes as paid extras)

#12I wanted something that I didn't need to wear to bed, so I tried the Beautyrest Sleeptracker Monitor. You place a sensor under your bed and it automatically detects and tracks your sleep, heart rate and breathing rate without having to open an app or anything.

#13Dreem 2* is probably the best tracker you can get to use at home.
The band is not uncomfortable (after a couple of nights, it's very strange at first) and it will give you lots of insights other solutions can't.
You do have to put it on before bed and take it off and charge in the morning though. And it's expensive.

#14I miss the WakeMate... it was the only sleep tracker that worked exactly the way I wanted. Is there anything out there comparable nowadays?

#15Withings Activite are great watches. You don’t need to charge them, just change the battery once in 7 months and that’s it. They track my sleep quite well.

#17I use and recommend Whoop, it's a fitness tracker worn around the wrist that focuses on sleep and recovery. They recently had their sleep tracking validated against polysomnography (https://www.whoop.com/the-locker/how-well-whoop-measures-sle...)

#18Sleep As Android
I don't think it will directly track leg movement, but it tracks sounds, so if you're shuffling the sheets it could possibly pick that up. It's a very highly rated app and I've used it successfully myself.

#19https://ouraring.com/ is pretty awesome. I've started sleeping more, at more consistent times, and consuming less caffeine and alcohol.
$75 off - http://ouraring.com/partners/rohannatraj - doesn't benefit me, just a coupon I received myself.

#20One of the reasons I bought my Fitbit is to look at my sleep patterns. (In hindsight, I only look once every few months)
The data is surprisingly accurate, and sleeping with a watch on doesn't bother me one bit. (I use a silicon watch band, the dressier watch bands would probably bother me.)
