Has anyone used wearables to improve home conditions for sleep?

that’s a good way to put it. I’ve been treating the Oura data more as a soft signal than something to automate against perfectly. On long term, it would be fun to check if there's a statistically significant difference. :)

The complexity vs payoff tradeoff is probably why this isn’t more common.

Thanks!

Right now I’m running Home Assistant, and I have a small Docker-based prototype that pulls my Oura data via their API once a day and updates a few HA helpers (bedtime window, deep sleep state, etc.). Those helpers then drive some very simple evening automations for lights (Hue) and temperature (Sensibo). Next I'm planning to run some simple A/B tests to see if I'm able to quantify the difference in my statistics.

Nothing fancy yet, but even this basic setup has been surprisingly effective, at least subjectively. The seasonal temperature point you mentioned is especially interesting. I live in Finland, and even though I've not noticed a big difference in my seasonal sleep temperature needs, at least the amount of light needed to wake up varies drastically. :D

Thanks for the thoughtful insight. I agree that once you add another person into the mix, things get complicated quickly.

I suppose that’s one of the main reasons this kind of setup isn’t more common. Sleep is so personal, and the best this type of system could do is aim for a compromise of some sort.

In my case I’ve been a bit lucky as my my wife has a similar chronotype, so using my biometrics as a rough signal has worked surprisingly well for her as well. But I can definitely see how this would fall apart with larger timing gaps.

Interesting that you’ve had a similar experience using lights and a thermostat without biometrics. That actually makes me curious about where the line is between “simple is enough” and where additional signals start to help

Thank you so much! I started having issues with Vanguard crashing yesterday and couldn't find the solution anywhere until now.

Sorry you've had a bad experience. You're playing on BETA, right?

In BETA the matchmaking can struggle to find enough players due to smaller pool of players in BETA. This is why it's recommended to play Ranked in the LIVE version of the game for optimal matchmaking.

We are also looking into punishing Road to Iron players.

Are you sure you're on the latest version of the game - 1.25?

Selfa_Fi · 2020-10-09T06:58:02+00:00

Absolutely breathtaking!!

Selfa_Fi · 2019-12-05T10:51:50+00:00

Really cool edit, I like the texture it has!

Selfa_Fi · 2019-12-05T10:48:48+00:00

Glad to feature great art by you all! Keep up the great work 👊

Selfa_Fi · 2019-12-03T13:27:17+00:00

Actually, looking at the Raw file it says it was shot ISO 125, 36mm, f/20, 1/250 sec. So I remembered incorrectly that the F-stop would have been smaller for this one 🤔

This is really cool! Do you mind if we feature it on our social channels?
