I always ask my patients, "how'd you sleep last night?" or “ Do you have trouble sleeping?” I typically am in bed by 9- 9:15 pm . I read for about 30 minutes and then go to sleep. I never used to do this. I would stay up until 12 midnight. I came to realize that I needed more sleep.
So two months when I asked a patient “How do you sleep ?” She answered ‘ my aura ring says I slept 8 hours and then proceeded to tell me about REM sleep and deep sleep. I was perplexed. An aura ring or mood ring detects sleep. I asked her what ring? She said OURA ring not AURA RING. She then told me about this ring with its technology. I was intrigued
I went on line www.ouraring.com and started to read about this technology It analyzes your deep sleep, REM sleep, light sleep, nightly heart rate, bedtime schedule, and much more. It also analyzes your resting heart rate and heart rate variability. For heart rate and heart rate variability it is 99.6 % and 98 % accurate respectively.
This information can then be put to good use to increase your sleep. This can be accomplished with herbs, supplements and meditation. I am trying different herbs for increasing the amount of REM sleep I obtain. Sleep is a very important factor for improving your health.
Until tomorrow…
