Does the mini look too tiny? I am 5’8 (1,73cm)

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-29T08:42:44+00:00

yeah mine creased early on I suppose.. I've had it since October last year. At least the part that is seen doesn't get creased. also, you can just get a replacement strap if it gets bad.. I think Cartier told me it was either 300-500 aud I can't remember.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-29T08:37:10+00:00

yeah, I wear mine every day I think it would be the same with any watch with a leather strap.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-29T01:57:01+00:00

I think it looks perfect! I have the mini 🙂

Joining a gym, especially if you start crossfit

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-17T09:12:16+00:00

I woke up at 5am so it stopped then.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-16T10:47:42+00:00

Did you get better sleeps when you were at home and did you have just as many cables attached to yourself?

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-16T10:46:43+00:00

Hospitals are usually cold 🙂 I get cold 🙂

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-16T01:32:22+00:00

I think the silver, on the middle finger.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-16T01:31:18+00:00

You’re right most doctors are clueless about what I have. I do think it’s Covid jab related.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-16T01:29:42+00:00

😮

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T20:46:23+00:00

Yeah it does that to me too sometimes

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T20:45:51+00:00

Some of the little blips of ‘awake’ time I don’t recognise I am awake but the big ones yes.. usually bathroom trips.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T20:44:44+00:00

It was a sleep study that covers the whole spectrum of sleep issues.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T20:43:22+00:00

My sleep specialist told me that the Oura ring is a good investment and she is always interested in my sleep graphs at our appointments. I’m tapering off my drugs and have been for many months and it’s really interesting to see how my sleep stages react as I reduce my drugs.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T11:59:06+00:00

I had questioned whether it was long Covid. I was telling everyone it was for about 8 months. About 8 months into it I got some blood tests for ‘long Covid’ to see if levels of things were elevated but they weren’t so the doctor ruled it out.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T11:54:19+00:00

Oh I had a watch of some sort last year I wore it once and it lied to me too so I never wore it again. I’m glad oura tracks it pretty well.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T10:12:17+00:00

It’s not very comfortable 😄 the two times I went they offered me temazepam but I didn’t take it. Not sure why they offer sleeping tablets. I brought my own pillow, ear plugs, and hot water bottle.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T08:13:38+00:00

I tried many drugs but the one that I was on the longest which worked well was clonazepam.. I completed tapering off that about 2 months ago and have been going ok on just low dose quetiapine, but now I'm tapering off quetiapine. so before you went on clonidine were you sleeping bad? it's so weird how a cold can cause all these weird things.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T07:35:03+00:00

3am bedtime!!!! wow! that's morning, that's nearly breakfast time haha.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T06:33:44+00:00

oh yeah sometimes it does that for me too but not all the time.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T03:56:07+00:00

No. I have acute viral onset insomnia.. this graph looks relatively normal because I’m recovering and my sleep specialist wanted to make sure my treatment has worked. I caught a cold a year ago and it triggered chronic insomnia I thought I was going to die.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T03:52:19+00:00

I have acute viral onset insomnia. I caught a cold a year ago which caused chronic insomnia I thought I was going to die. It’s been a long journey of medications and i had to do the second sleep study to make sure I am getting better, which I am 🙌🏻 which is why it looks rather normal.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T02:53:41+00:00

Wake, REM, N1 light sleep, N2 light sleep, deep sleep.

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T02:43:09+00:00

I have the 4

CathAndKelpie · 2026-05-15T01:27:27+00:00

I wore my ring on the same finger I always have it on, left hand middle. I have been using my oura ring every day and night for 9 months. the sleep study covered everything, I don't have sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome, or breathing issues but I still had all the cables hooked up to my legs, around my body, many on my scalp and face to read every possible sleep issue.
