That’s good to know! I shared the link to the Beeminder blog post so maybe they’ll reach out :crossed_fingers:t2::crossed_fingers:t2::crossed_fingers:t2:

I got my Oura ring yesterday! I obviously don’t have much data yet since I’ve barely been wearing it for a full day but it’s still fun to look at the app :joy:

It really bugs me that nothing ever comes with a wall plug for a charger anymore, though. I can charge the ring at my laptop but that’s a lot less convenient. We have just one USB-C to wall adapter and my husband uses it for his phone so it’s not in a convenient spot for me either. As more things come in USB-C only I guess we’ll have to buy more (or USB to USB-C adapters to make the wall plugs useful? Those must exist) but I don’t see why I should have to buy another one now.

I’ve been in the green for over a week with my bedtime goal, so I dared to lower the rate, from 10 to 9.9. I still don’t feel like I’m getting enough sleep most of the time so I obviously need it.

Will the bedtime goal be replaced by an Oura sleep goal? Stay tuned!

OK, so far charging the ring hasn’t been as inconvenient as I thought because it charges really quickly! I have just been putting it on the charger for a few minutes a day while I write and it’s stayed highly charged.

They do exist, and I would strongly recommend them to everyone. Even if you have more USB-C chargers at home, they really help when in cars, trains, planes etc which still have USB-A sockets. Surprisingly this is something where there is a difference between “correct” implementations and cheap versions, so choose a brand you trust.

Ooh, that’s helpful, thanks!

It doesn’t surprise me that cheap versions are no good. I ruined an iPhone with a knockoff charger once so now I only buy directly from Apple.
