I find my Apple Watch information useful. I don't remember when I fell asleep but my apple watch does. This keeps me honest about going to be too late.

Additionally, when I first got it, I found that I was only getting 40 minutes of deep sleep which is why I was always somewhat tired. After adding magnesium to my diet I am getting around 70 minutes of deep sleep. I wouldn't have been able to pinpoint this without the data. The apple watch is the best sleep tracker [1] so your data might be too noisy to find results.

Does Watch accurately capture when you fell asleep, as opposed to when you lay down and stopped moving?
Not that well. You have to extrapolate from when the first first deep sleep occurs in comparison to other nights.
