As someone who went through the same process, including using a Huawei watch previously, I encourage you to try Autosleep. It has much better sleep detection magic and exposes a few knobs that enable you to fine-tune the autodetection and also manually correct the sleep records in sensible ways.

It integrates with Health, so it has the bonus of tidying up the sleep data all across the board.

Not related to the developer in any way, just a very happy user.

+1 for AutoSleep.

I've been using it since before WatchOS 7 introduced sleep tracking, and it's scarily accurate even at tracking when I doze off for a short while in bed.

Doesn't seem to be needed since the OP already got the message, but just in case...yet another +1 for AutoSleep, which I use religiously. Great design, just complex enough to give you lots of detailed info, but still simple enough to be easy to parse and use the data. And although I'm asleep when it's in use, near as I can tell, it does a great job of tracking my sleep, including fitful periods and naps. And its percentage "sleep quality" rating seems to correlate very well with my own impression of how good my sleep was and how refreshed I am.

One really valuable thing it has highlighted for me is how much of a negative impact alcohol has on my sleep quality. Very eye-opening. And I would have never known this without AutoSleep.

Autosleep is great. I've had none of the issues the OP mentions and I've used Autosleep since I first got my watch.
+1 for AutoSleep, it’s amazing abs basically perfect even with intermittent or broken sleep.
OMG thanks!

Installing it right away!
