I’ve been wearing my Oura ring for the last 6 months…
And it’s confirmed a lot of things I already suspected — but seeing it in data hits differently 👀
✨ Alcohol impacts my sleep way more than I thought
Not just for one night… but sometimes up to a week for my body and sleep to fully recover.
✨ Stress has a huge impact on my sleep
Especially my deep sleep and how quickly my heart rate drops overnight.
✨ Stress isn’t always obvious
Even on days I don’t *feel* stressed — but I’m busy (like full clinic days where I’m “on” mentally all day)… my stress markers are higher.
✨ My routine really matters
Changes to my routine show up almost immediately in my sleep and recovery.
✨ It’s made me prioritise rest more intentionally
Scheduling rest days, having a proper wind-down routine, and actually supporting my nervous system and not just pushing through.
✨ My cycle insights have been really interesting
My confirmed ovulation is later than I thought, and my luteal phase is shorter which has prompted me to do further hormone testing to check in on progesterone post ovulation.
One of the biggest takeaways for me…
Is how much your body is constantly communicating with you.
And when you start paying attention — whether that’s through data or just tuning in — you can actually start making decisions that support your body, not work against it.
This is something I bring into clinic as well.
Looking at the patterns, the signals, and what your body is trying to tell us 🌿
Do you track your sleep or cycle at all? I’d love to know 🤍
