Desperate to improve the quality of your dream? We are not surprised. The importance of the good night of sleep can not be underestimated, both for mental health and physical health. And yet, modern life, with its constant light and endless stimulation, makes it very difficult.
That’s where the best sleep trackers are useful: devices that measure this information using technology, such as an accelerometer to detect movement, and an optical heart rate optical sensor to measure heart rate.
Interesting of the smart ring
Sleep tracking functions are commonly found in fitness trackers, such as Fitbit 4 load and the Honor Bond 5, and Smart Watches as Fitbit Sense and Polar Vantage V2. But some people find devices of use like this on the bed too clumsy and restriction.
Hence the climb of the intelligent ring, with our favorite is the oura ring. In addition to being discreet, there is also a good evidence that taking the pulse from the finger instead of the wrist is more accurate in general.
Of course, the software that interprets that the data is as important as hardware itself. So we were delighted today to see an update today in our Oura Ring, demonstrating that it is now compatible with the “NAP Follow-up” on Android.
This update has already arrived at IOS in May, so it is about Android users also benefit from him. But what is it exactly? And what does it do?
The follow-up nap is derived from the idea that it is not just the dream you have at night, that is important. You must sleep any dream that takes into account the day as well, whether those planned regularly, or accidental dones after a night or the bad night’s sleep.
Previous to the update, the Oura ring simply measured naps as “rest periods”. Now, however, the detection of the NAP now provides detailed information on individual naps and guarantees that the impact of all its sleep is reflected in sleep and preparation scores. Specifically:
Ware now provides a sleep staging, heart rate, HRV and motion data for periods of sleep more than 15 minutes
The detection of NAP guarantees to obtain credit for all its sleep throughout the day in sleep and preparation scores.
Of course, manufacturers recognize that their technology is not perfect: they may not be sheets, but it feels and feels very still for a while. For this reason, you must confirm your naps for your Oura ring to register them as such.
If you do not confirm them, only will be recorded as rest periods, the application will not provide detailed information about these periods, and will not affect sleep and preparation scores.
