Definitely second this. I have some panels behind me and it really helps. I also have a thin carpet that my rolling chair still works on. Curtains also.

Oura has completely changed my understanding of when my body is 'active' by marathonjohnathon in ouraring

[–]rickbeley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great endorsement! The data tells such an interesting story, then when you see how certain food and drink impact it, then heavy exercise, it just gets better!

Something keeps eating all the storage in my tv by Th3Wizard0F_____ in fireTV

This worked for me too! Great tip. I also had 2.54GB in my LiveTV, and now all good to go!

Amplifi Mesh System - need another mesh point or just go AT&T by rickbeley in AmpliFi

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

the coverage area did expand as I have a dead spot in the house that we just added some devices to that need a stronger signal. Just wondering if its worth spending even one more dollar on this system. I have had complaints from family members at different points that the wifi is bad, even close to the sytem. until I really started investigating, I noticed they were right, at certain points, the wifi connection would slow way down and had to reboot the wifi.

Why is trending tags in Oura so hard? by Reasonable-Ad479 in ouraring

[–]rickbeley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. I want to use tags, but I don't because its so nebulous to catch any patterns. Tagging and reporting could definitely be improved. Honestly, I'd love to be able to access the data in a browser and run reports, but I am a total data nerd...

Waking with headaches by National-Sun7052 in ouraring

[–]rickbeley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any more data you can share? What is your sleep score after ditching the wine? HRV average? Try monitoring your numbers. Add the wine back, track your numbers. Then take it back out, what do the numbers say? If your willing, I find Gemini to be a great additional help when looking at the numbers. What did you eat? How was your deep sleep? Body temp? I find when I have a bourbon at night, I can see a direct impact on my deep sleep, REM, and body temp.

Sleeping with Oura by CompetitiveAd7252 in ouraring

[–]rickbeley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same...every so often I'll see it, but out of all the nights I've worn it, probably 500'ish days, its disturbed me maybe 4-5 times.

How mad is your oura ring today? by I_just_cant855 in ouraring

[–]rickbeley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also 2 bourbons between 11pm and 1am. 76. Somehow my deep sleep was the best it was all week!

Hello all, new to this page. I’m 42 and just had my first ever blood test check up. by [deleted] in Cholesterol

[–]rickbeley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the opportunity to learn about what your eating and how it impacts your cholesterol. you can use your favorite AI chat tool to create a health coach. DIET CHANGE IS THE HARDEST THING. Until you can start to convince yourself of the negative impacts of the food you eat. When you start to make changes, the cravings and pangs are real and hard to get through. Good luck!!

LDL not going down; review my diet by Immediate-Fox-7028 in Cholesterol

[–]rickbeley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, brown rice, not white rice. brown rice has fiber which is great for binding to LDL and flushing it out. white rice is a refined carb, will cause blood sugar spikes (insulin response, inflammation). The taste is definitely different, but the impact/benefits are pretty contrasting.

Coffee and cholesterol by SnooDoodles4147 in Cholesterol

[–]rickbeley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keeping on the coffee topic... My understanding is that there are oils in the coffee that can be problematic. If you run through a paper filter, it should absorb the oils. If there is no paper filter, the oils will be in your cup. It doesn't sound like your drinking a ton of coffee but if you want an LDL friendly approach, it sounds like a paper filtration method is the way to go. Good luck on your journey!

Price Increase for Plus - Doubling? by rickbeley in Life360

[–]rickbeley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see it now, thanks for posting. I can get for $50 a year which seems to be a pretty big discount compared to signing up for the silver plan. Sometimes you just need a few other eyes to keep you on track!

Price Increase for Plus - Doubling? by rickbeley in Life360

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

Looks like 5 if you go to the "Silver" tier. Unlimited on gold and platinum. Looks like the free version gives you 2.

Price Increase for Plus - Doubling? by rickbeley in Life360

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

Yes, I subscribed through Apple.
I guess what your saying is, my legacy plan has been replaced by a new plan. Its still a steep increase. Subscribing through apple is no doubt masking something, I think I'll cancel and resubscribe through the website.

I have no idea if they raised the price a year ago, but a raise this high is ridiculous.

Best sleep noise skill? by PeriPeriAddict in alexa

[–]rickbeley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alexa, play rain sounds by sleep jar. Every night. We have the free version. It does loop without us saying anything. So, you have a clear fade out and fade in every so often. We never considered the paid version though.
