Why does the app detect sleep too early?
In a nutshell. You are probably using your phone too little. The app can't determine the time to fall asleep if the user is using their phone too little. Good news, we are planning an alternative "I'm going to sleep" feature in the future.

Why are the detected sleep states so strange?
Actually, we only have device data to define the user's sleep state. If the detected sleep states are definitely wrong, you could move your phone to a different position to make the sleep detection more reliable.
