Me, Myself, and Oura
I have been an Oura user, wearer, and data-addicted individual for over three years now. My journey with Oura started while I was well into my health and wellness transformation about five years ago. At the time, I was walking 5–6 miles a day at the base of the mountains in Mapleton, Utah, soaking in the fresh mountain air and sunshine while listening to books and podcasts. Those walks were therapeutic, but despite all that movement and fresh air, I had one major issue: I wasn’t sleeping well at all!
I tried various supplements to promote sleep, and while they helped a little, I still wasn’t getting enough rest or staying asleep through the night. I wanted to know more about my body—what was going on inside—so I could figure out how to improve my sleep and live more aware and alert. That’s when I stumbled upon Oura Ring on social media. Instantly, I was intrigued.
For about four months, I stalked the website, browsing styles and features, reading reviews, and convincing myself that I needed this ring. Then, the Gen 3 model was released, and I knew it was time to commit. I gifted myself an Oura Ring that Christmas, and one month later, it was on my finger—and I haven’t looked back since. In over three years, I’ve only missed wearing it for 4–5 days total. Oura has a lot of data on me at this point!
Back to my sleep struggles. As I experimented with different remedies, I now had a resource that provided insights into my habits and their effects on my sleep and daily performance. From walking, working out, and standing to housework, wind-down time, and beyond, Oura helped me understand the bigger picture of my health.
These days, I still use sleep aids, but Oura remains a crucial tool in tracking my overall well-being. It’s not just about sleep—it’s about living better through data-driven awareness.
