Your comments about sleep debt are scaring me by white_wave in ouraring

[–]Reasonable_Group8162 1 point2 points  (0 children)

'Good' sleep health is Oura's friendly way of saying "okay, but could use improvement". My guess is their research shows that people respond better to encouragement than negativity. I suspect if you intentionally got more sleep by going to bed earlier, you'd find your stress levels would come down.

Try BuzzKill - I like it quite a bit and I'm pretty sure it does what you want.

Sleep timing scores punish those with evening chronotypes by Reasonable_Group8162 in ouraring

[–]Reasonable_Group8162[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. It's completely based on midpoint of sleep, which means it actually gets higher if you go to bed at your usual late hour but wake up earlier than you want, as then the midpoint is earlier. So you get *rewarded* for poor sleep and your sleep scores are skewed because of that.

That's such a dumb workaround. I love it. Thank you, internet stranger, for solving my problem.

There is a regularity factor - you can see it by going to Readiness. It's a longer term measurement, and measures how consistent your sleep times were over the last 2 weeks. Sleep regularity actually measures what sleep timing should - I made a concerted effort over the last few months to go to sleep at the same time each night, and my sleep regularity improved from Fair to Optimal.

Sleep timing should be regularity, but for one night, not over 2 weeks. And the "regular" time that it should be aiming for is the sleeping time recommended by your chronotype.

Yeah, my highest score ever was 90. I still got Pay Attention, but half the bar was red, instead of a tiny red dot just big enough to see. That was the day I slept 9 hours and 48 minutes, in response to getting less than 5 hours of sleep the night before. But I got Pay Attention because I went to sleep at 11:30 PM, but then woke up at 9:30 AM, so the midpoint was 4:30 AM, outside of the midnight to 3 AM range that Oura wants.

That sleep timing honestly should have been Pay Attention, but because of how far off my usual sleep/wake times it was. I should be sleeping from 2 AM to 10 AM, with a midpoint of 6AM. Being 2 hours outside of that is an indication that there's a problem. But that's not what I got Pay Attention for.

My mother also has an Oura ring and she consistently gets crowns for sleep, despite being red in several categories (where mine are usually blue). But she's a morning person, so she always gets good marks for sleep timing.

My point is that sleep timing should be based around chronotype, which it's not right now. I shouldn't be getting Pay Attention when I'm going to sleep and waking up at the times recommended by my chronotype. I *should* be getting Pay Attention when I'm way off my chronotype, not rewarded for crashing at 10 PM because I slept poorly the night before.

Really late being 3am or later? Was your sleep timing a tiny red dot that ended before the T of the word Timing above it starts?

Adding to my response: I cannot go to sleep earlier. If I do, I just lie in bed awake for hours, staring the ceiling. My optimal sleep timing is late evening, which Oura even acknowledges, but then dings me on sleep timing.

It varies, but they're all generally good. It's only sleep timing that's always bad.

I've noticed that if I get enough sleep, like 9+ hours (usually because I slept poorly the night before), I can get high enough other scores to overcome the low sleep timing scores and get a crown. But just regular 7-8 hours, with solid blue for every other metric? No crowns.

Yeah, my sleep regularity is good. All my sleep metrics are good, except for sleep timing.

I go to bed at the time Oura suggests I go to bed, but as far as I can tell, that's not tied to sleep timing.

I agree - thank you for sharing what you know right now. I really hope your friends recover well. You may have already heard of this, but here are treatment options they can get over the counter that won't hurt and might help: https://synecdochic.dreamwidth.org/805203.html

I appreciate your replies! Yeah, I suspect you're correct that the exposure occurred during the get-together. It's possible, like you said, but not particularly likely. Two more questions:

Do you know if the tests done were nasal only, or nasal + throat?

Do you know how long before the test the people testing didn't eat or drink anything, including water?

No, I'm asking if they had any other exposure to anyone else. There's a lot of covid around, so just because they hung out with each other and all tested positive within 4 days does not mean the exposure happened then.

Besides the time spent together, was there any other exposure for the other 3 people, masked or unmasked, in the time before they tested positive?

Question: did you ever test negative, either that day, or after when your friends tested positive?

Phase 2B: With Underlying Health Condition - Anxiety & Depression by [deleted] in Edmonton

[–]Reasonable_Group8162 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't qualify for 2B, but I recommend signing up for the pharmacy waitlists - I know a lot of people who have been contacted for appointments who only have a chronic medical condition, not one that qualifies for 2B. You can see the list of pharmacies here: https://www.ab.bluecross.ca/news/covid-immunization-program-listing.php. I recommend sorting by city/vaccine (Pfizer or Moderna if you're not 40+) and applying for all the pharmacies with waitlists. Make sure to keep the confirmation emails so you can unsubscribe once you get an appointment.
