After I was using an Oura ring for about a week, I came to the conclusion that knowing the data of how I slept provided very little value. I personally believe that the consumer grade devices are "good enough" because the micro-data is not that valuable anyway, and the way PSG works, there is no "correct" score. Get 5 different polysomnography's, you'll get 5 different measures of the same sleep. Once you're doing the sleep hygiene stuff, and experimented with all the magnesium stacks, ashwaganda, CBD, etc, etc, what do you do to actually ensure you are doing the most for your sleep? This is why I got into the sleeptech/neurotech space, and for the last few years we've been building a headband that monitors brain activity and increases the efficiency of deep sleep. The tech is backed by peer-reviewed and published research from discoveries which began in 2013. https://soundmind.co/research https://soundmind.co/research Yes, people like data and want to "understand" our sleep, but the quality of sleep is more than just the number of minutes you spend in each stage of sleep, just like fitness is more than the number of minutes you spend in each cardiovascular training stage. Our understanding of sleep today is at the same place our understanding of fitness was in the 70s, and sleep is just beginning to get is due importance. What we'll learn in the next 20 years, I believe, will lead to significant changes in health and longevity.
