  While I'm currently not able to look at this app, I can say that
  I often lie without motion while still being awake at night,
  so I doubt such a device would be able to detect I'm awake.

  Instead I'm just pressing the power button of my mobile device
  sometimes while I'm awake. Then, in the next morning, I can
  read the times of these events from a log and transfer my sleep
  times to a spreadsheet (still on the mobile device) where
  I then analyze them using my custom formulas.

  One can also buy sleep trackers that track the sleep using
  electrodes at the head with prices starting below $1000 and
  exceeding $25000 depending on the quality. But the handling
  and maintenance would probably be too time-consuming for me.
