Tracking my sleep (via Apple Watch + AutoSleep app) has helped me drink a lot less. It's very noticeable if I have more than one drink.

I noticed the same, and seeing the calander with red yellow and green days makes it easy to see how well I’m doing (plus drinking or not getting a good nights sleep is super important)
Does the AutoSleep add to your sleep tracking experience, compared to Apple's built-in Sleep app?
Are you talking about the Sleep section of Apple's Health app? AutoSleep seems to track more data than that does. It estimates my deep sleep, takes into account my HRV and heart rate, and gives me a sleep rating for the night (e.g. 90 out of 100).

Apple's Health app just tracks total time spent asleep which ignores my heart rate. My heart rate is always much higher if I've drank alcohol or ate something too close to bedtime, which AutoSleep uses to determine that my sleep quality is lower.
