My experience has been the opposite of making it worse. When I started using my watch to track sleep I was sleeping 3-4 hours per night then one long night of sleep (7-8 hours) once a week. I was basically crashing from exhaustion.

I started tracking my sleep, and used the app to find the best “go to sleep” time target. I’ve gradually increased my sleep time to just over 6 hours a night with one or two 8 hour nights on the weekend.

My watch has been a critical tool for improving my sleep.

Edit to add: I also use the “Sleep with Me” podcast to fall asleep. That guy’s mumbling are pretty easy to fall asleep to.
