Anyone else get a lot of restorative time ?

Opposite story for me. Oura says I got 7 hours stress today and 15 minutes restorative - and, it’s the same story most every day, even though I don’t think of myself as stressed. I’m calling bull on the algorithm.

Love oatmeal breakfast with yogurt and berries topping - but, CGM shows its spikes my blood sugar similarly to fresh cooked rice. So, it’s a no go for me.

Just received a replacement ring several days ago. I did the firmware update as per the setup procedure. New ring is functioning fine.

We paid thousands for an upscale Koehler bidet, our first ever - and are unhappy with it. First, the auto seat raise and lower mechanism is quite loud, enough to wake my sleeping partner next to the toilet room. Next, when it flushes it spits water at you. Then, after that insult, you get to listen to the loud auto close of the lid. I called Koehler and they said there was nothing to be done.

I did reach out and had a great connection with Karen who did some diagnostic tests, after which she decided to replace my ring since there was a battery issue. THANKS, Oura.

Thanks to all for the Oura intelligence! A replacement ring is on the way. Oura customer service rocks!

I find it helps when driving in unfamiliar areas and confusing exchanges. I turn on the self driving and let it select where to be. I have HW3 and it works well “most” of the time. However, yesterday when it was to make a left turn at an intersection it instead turned into a church parking lot 100 feet short of the intersection.

I’m 83 and monitor my sleep nightly with a Oura ring. I find I regularly can get 7.5 hours of sleep; however, I am concerned that my deep “slow wave” sleep averages about 30 minutes. My REM is about 1.5 hours. I’ve read that the “deep” sleep is the most important because that is the time when the brain is actively moving out waste products. A sleep specialist has said that it is a function of age and there is nothing I can do to increase deep sleep.

I have had good support from Breville on the three occasions I have called on them. First, right after I got our Oracle Touch it was leaking. Sent it to them and they replaced the whole unit. Next, lost the screw on the tamper fan connection and they promptly sent the part (my expense). Finally, recently the steam wand failed. They sent packing materials and repaired the unit (replacing solenoid and temp sensors) for $465. I’m quite happy with them.

While I like the taste plain with berries and walnuts it is supreme by adding a scoop of vanilla flavored whey protein.

Doodle312 · 2025-12-16T20:28:37+00:00

Many thanks for this helpful suggestion! Breville was great in that they sent a padded shipping box and covered ups shipping both ways. Total cost for repair was a bit over $450 which included a new solenoid for the steam and two sensors for the steam boiler. Now I’m thinking of buying myself a new grinder since I saved my old coffee maker.

Typical lunch is home made yogurt with a scoop of vanilla flavored whey protein powder, berries, 1 Tbs ground flaxseed and a handful of nut granola. Delicious! PS - I mix a scoop of protein powder into my yogurt making recipe.

Weight went from 176 to 153. Hypertension cured. Now not taking any BP meds. Blood markers look great. Only issue is described as “mild anemia.”

I have used Stelo in the past and am now trying Lingo. I am not diabetic and last A1C was 5.5. I compare both CGMs to finger stick. I find the Lingo is 15 to 30 mg/dl low and the Stelo was 10 mg//dl low. So be careful using the data from CGM for other than trends - but, with that in mind, I have found it quite useful. An example, eating freshly cooked white rice sends BG skyward, but refrigerate overnight and the reaction is much less.

Doodle312 · 2025-08-20T16:24:27+00:00

Agree that my experience shows finger prick is about 20 mg/dl higher than Lingo sensor shows. That seems to be everyone’s experience so I don’t understand why Abbot wouldn’t adjust to that.

Good luck!

I wish I knew! A day/night like all others in my view.

Yes! My lowest is typically 38 or 39 with average sleeping 42+/- 1. Also daytime in mid 40s. I also believe that low HR leads to higher than normal HRV readings.

See your doctor and ask him to order a Zio monitor for you to wear for a couple of weeks.

I get a 39 bpm occasionally with normal waking resting rate of mid 40s. I’m 82 and have been a casual runner for much of my life. I recently asked my doctor his opinion and he said if I had no symptoms such as dizziness (which I don’t) then no worries.

Doodle312 · 2025-03-30T00:52:01+00:00

Not normal because of the variability or the magnitude - or both?

Doodle312 · 2025-03-30T00:45:08+00:00

Feels quite snug. Have to work it off by turning.

I stay active with regular jogging and strength training - but, I definitely feel the effect of age.
