I have an app on my pone that's been doing a decent job of monitoring my sleep  as to awake/asleep times & disturbances (it keeps track of depth of sleep)

It's called "Sleep Cycle"; I actually downloaded it because it's an alarm that  brings you out of dep sleep slowly, with extremely low volume music/tone,  increasing only as you ease upwards from deepest sleep -- the idea being not to shock your poor system out of deepest rest.

It does a wonderful job of this, but also, as an extra feature, provides a  sleep report each morning, & a monthly summary.

My CPAP also monitors my sleep. specific to respiration.

I find it a handy app. I've kept the daily reports for a couple years now --  one day, when bored I might put them all into a database & graph things to see  what shows up. .
