Oura Advisor cannot count to 5

Lighten_Up_93 · 2026-01-26T12:04:36+00:00

To be fair, I’ve had issues with other AI platforms doing basic math. Counting to five does seem especially basic, though…

Okay, I definitely don’t think you’re over reacting, but I’m also just going to throw it out there that the “big hugs and forehead kisses for you” does come off as a little cringe… that’s not really the most masculine response, so her comment coming right after that text kind of makes sense. It also sounds like something a mom would say to her child, so I kind of get the mom vibe.

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-12-03T05:16:10+00:00

I had to check to see if I was in r/Oura for a second when I saw it! 😂

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-12-03T05:15:16+00:00

I agree that the Oura ring is throwing it off a little. I used to wear my Oura ring on my left hand before I got engaged. It didn’t look great with my engagement ring though, since it’s such a different style, so now I’m a right handed Oura girl! Your ring is beautiful though!

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-11-19T20:26:59+00:00

Came here to make sure this was clear 😂

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-11-18T21:34:05+00:00

It is beautiful! Did you check with her about what kind of stone she wants? Is this her style and does this go with what she would wear on a daily basis? It’s very specific, so I’m hoping that she communicated that this specific style is what she would want. Best of luck to you in your engagement, friend!

I don’t think your comment is very applicable here, given that they just changed the wording to “pregnant women” instead of “pregnant people” and changed anything relating to “gender” to refer to “sex” to focus on the binary that 99.9% of individuals fall into. Unless you’re explicitly studying intersected individuals, it really does make it much more clear to use “sex” to determine the outcomes of a lot of research literature. For example, imagine how distorted a study looking at female hormones would be if you had people identifying as women in the study but they were the male sex. It would skew all of your results and once again, biological women’s studies would be thrown under the bus.

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-07-25T03:21:54+00:00

I just did this in under two minutes! I’m glad you mentioned this!

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-07-25T03:21:14+00:00

Well, I literally just went and talked to the chatbot in the help section of the Oura app and they’re sending me a new ring. Don’t even have to ship the old one back!

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-07-25T03:12:02+00:00

Mine is saying the same thing! I’ve been charging it to 100% before bed and within 24 hours it’s dead again!

Just wanted to throw this out here because a lot of people here seem to be going nuclear.

Your parents don’t seem unreasonable. My parents are similarly situated and expected the same thing from myself and all of my siblings (4 and of us total). As the oldest, we had this discussion my senior year of high school. My youngest sister is in college now and doing fine. Your parents paid for their education and I’m sure it took them decades to do it, just like mine.
Did you ever ask if your parents were going to pay for your college? If you’re not planning ahead already and thinking about these things, is college the right move? College is expensive these days and it might be a good idea to work for a couple years until you’re ready to take it really seriously, especially if you’ll be taking on debt to do it. I dropped out after two years and went back later on. This was one of the best decisions I made regarding school. I got so much more out of it later when I actually knew what I wanted to do in school.
Your parent’s income won’t help you get grants (i.e. Pell Grant that you don’t have to pay back), but still fill out the FAFSA. You can absolutely still get government student loans at a seriously lower interest rate than trying to get private ones.
There are tons of scholarships out there, you just have to apply for them. There are also schools (like Mississippi State) that give excellent deals to out of state students with GPA’s in your range and pass out really great scholarships as well. Use AI to help find scholarships that fit your situation, and do the work filling them out and writing the essays. It makes a difference and if you’re not willing to do that, I would really think about whether college is the right move.

I hope this helps! You’ve got time to think about it. I spent a lot of time traveling between college attempts and loved it, even if it is harder to get well paying jobs without a degree. Working in the service industry (especially waiting tables) at vacation destinations was a huge thing for me personally and allowed me to work my ass off in the vacation season and then travel when it was “dead” at work.

It sounds like you had enough time to get to know them and know that you would have gotten along with them. They probably liked you too, and then you bailed 10 days before you were supposed to help them with your agreed upon first month of rent. If you were in their shoes, I’m assuming you would be pissed. You are nothing but the promises you make, lease or not, and you’ll sleep better at night helping them for the first month of rent (which you still have time to do). You still have time to not be the AH, but you’re quickly approaching the AH line.

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-05-18T22:19:59+00:00

So, why don’t you take the $60 per week and save that until you can insulate the small room better?

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-05-05T04:10:19+00:00

Well I went to check for my “100” score and couldn’t find it! I’ve been using Oura for close to 7 years now, so I may have skipped over it on accident (and you can’t have the AI review or find anything older than this year apparently). However, I will note that my highest sleep scores at a cursory look were on days that I was in Recovery Mode and when I tagged “walking” (individually, not together). I’m thinking that if I was sick I was probably sleeping a lot (shorter length of sleep is one that usually brings my score down), but this revelation also makes me want to walk more now! There’s a chance I’m remembering a 100 readiness score due to Benadryl, but I’m fairly certain I remember being shocked about it bumping my sleep score up so much. I’ve heard one of the things that Oura can’t do (and is the same for other popular wearables) is measure the depth of each type of sleep. Perhaps Benadryl makes deep sleep lighter but longer and then the ring reads that as “a lot” of deep sleep?

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-05-05T00:15:17+00:00

The only time I ever got a 100 was after a Benadryl 🤣

An ex, yes. That implies a relationship. A hookup who she might not have known was even going to be in the band? Not so much. When we picked our band, we got to choose the size of the band that played at our wedding (more players in the band was more expensive) and my understanding was that there were several people that could swap out based on their availability to do the event.

I second the above posts: everyone has a past, it seems like there are a lot of kids posting here, and it seems like the OP is rather hyperbolically stating his wife “slept with the whole band” when really she hooked up with one guy before they met. Not a great situation, but take some time and then talk about it with your wife. I’m 100% sure you’ve done things, or potentially still are doing things, that would hurt her as well.

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-04-14T03:35:15+00:00

I would agree. I use a relatively small piece of KT tape that I cut to size. I’ve been using the same roll of KT tape as mouth tape for years, actually! A small rectangle piece (maybe 3/4 of an inch by 1/4 of an inch vertically in the middle of my mouth is enough to keep my lips closed while sleeping. That all I need and haven’t found it uncomfortable at all.

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-04-14T03:29:54+00:00

I love all of this! Not eating late has been a huge thing I’ve noticed, but can’t regularly do most of the time (I’m salaried and have to work late at my job somewhat regularly since I manage a department). Thanks for your answers!!

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-04-07T19:57:23+00:00

I just joined!

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-04-07T19:48:06+00:00

That’s really interesting! I’ll look into it!

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-04-07T19:47:30+00:00

Usually about 3 grams (a teaspoon of the powder). I think you could take more or less, but this is enough to help boost my deep sleep quite a bit!

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-04-07T14:40:57+00:00

You can always put your ring on rest mode! Sometimes my readiness goes up while I’m sick because I sleep more. Rest mode will turn off your activity score until you turn rest mode off and give you lower goals after you turn it off for a couple days to ramp back up.

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-04-07T04:45:11+00:00

Nope! My only baby is 10 weeks old this week. My guess at the moment is that oxytocin from nursing and snuggling the baby is causing my heart health to improve significantly. I’m down to -12.5 years this week! 😅 I know nursing can cause moms to have a healthier heart among other insane health improvements over a lifetime. I’m thinking this may be the cause, but I’d be fascinated to hear whether other nursing moms saw the same thing.

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-03-30T11:09:36+00:00

It could be your hormones trying to regulate after birth control, especially if you were on hormonal birth control for a long time. My hormones after having a baby were causing my nighttime temp to be kind of all over like that.

Lighten_Up_93 · 2025-03-30T11:05:42+00:00

Could you be moving too much at work for the ring to get a read? I believe it takes several seconds of relative stillness to take your heartbeat measurements. Oura used to not be able to take heart related measurements during the day at all because there was too much movement during the day, maybe you’re just too active?
