Teaming up to offer members a deeper understanding for a better night's sleep.
Your Oura Ring uses a combination of measurements similar to a sleep lab to assess your breathing regularity. Sleep induces physiologic changes in the upper airway that can modify the flow of air into the lungs and result in changes to oxygen saturations. This is a common occurrence and minor fluctuations in oxygen levels are perfectly normal. However, frequent irregular breathing and larger drops in oxygen saturation can sometimes indicate a need for action.
Upgrade your sleeping ergonomics. Make sure your mattress and pillow support your neck and spine while you sleep. Sleeping on your side with a supportive pillow may help improve your sleep quality.
Improve nasal congestion with simple measures like saline washes, breathe strips, or nasal dilators.
If you or your bed partner have experienced more frequent indicators of irregular breathing it may be time to take the next steps with a consultation.
