![]() “Body Clock” offers a more visual insight into how your sleep habits differ from the ideal. Oura’s science communication lead, Caroline Kryder, tells Inverse that the company wants people to “identify with their chronotype just as much as they identify with being a Libra or Gemini.” And for the right kind of person, that could very well work. ![]() ![]() That more playful treatment isn’t a mistake. The app will affirm when you might feel most energized during the day, share common facts about other people with your chronotype (evening types are often “innovative,” according to Oura), and offer an optimal timeframe for when you should sleep throughout the day, with a beginning, midpoint, and end, labeled on an easy to read chart so you can know how to sleep to best. What’s neat is once your chronotype has been calculated - Oura can use data already collected - the information is presented almost in the style of an astrological chart. Using 90 days of the health data your ring has collected, Oura can determine your chronotype, which is when you’re most inclined to sleep or, in simpler terms, a more nuanced designation of “early bird” or “night owl.” Oura has identified six chronotypes it’ll sort users into (early morning, morning, late morning, early evening, evening, and late evening) along with recommended bedtime and wake-up times. Chronotypes are treated a bit like astrological charts in the Oura app.
