The sponsor for this episode is the ring on my finger. No, I’m not married yet. And frankly, before that ring, I hated wearing rings. But I must say the guys at Oura have done a great job.
The ring allows me to track all sorts of crazy things about my sleep, including my resting heart rate, my deep sleep stages, my REM sleep, etc, etc. I really enjoy the feedback and allows me to make lifestyle decisions to become a higher performer.
Let me give you an example. So prior to getting the ordering, I would fast essentially 16 hours after my last meal. It didn’t matter when that last meal was. However, when I look at my resting heart rate, and how that really correlates to my performance The next day, I know I want my lowest resting heart rate coming as soon as possible after going to sleep because that’s when all my recovery really starts.
So what did I do? Well, it allowed me to adjust really when my last meal was before going to bed. So I have my last meal. Now, earlier in the night, I get better sleep, I get higher quality sleep. And I must say the next day feels amazing. So if you want to check out the Oura Ring and if you want to pick one up yourself, go to Oura's website.
