Just telling people they slept poorly led to impaired cognitive function. Telling them they slept fine preserved it.

If you like evidence-based health without the dogma, I put my best stuff in my free weekly newsletter.
Great to know! I've dropped the oura ring for 4 months now and it was a great decision. I've developed a better understanding of how I'm rested and don't want all that tech anymore. Less phone use too.
This explains the success of my placebo not believing sleep is important
It’s a good paper I remember using it to tell people not to wear oura rings

I was ignorant of the "fact" that we need 8 hours of sleep; somehow managed on 4-5 all my adult life.
You need as much as YOU need.
This makes sense. Unfortunately it doesn't help to assess causes or whether changes are working.
I'm curious, is that the reason for all of the sleep impairment ads on TV and in magazines? Do they want us to think we are impaired and actually act impaired so we will buy their drugs? What an interesting concept.
Tracking is better then looking a signal score and getting any relative information from any bio signals.
Tell most health apps you slept well. Then let your watch report 6 hours and a crap score. Watch which one they believe.
The sensor wins. Every time. Your own words get overwritten by a guess from a wrist.
Nocebo is just as real and powerful as placebo, which is why ive built
I’m going to develop a new wearable that just tells you positive news every morning.
Iatrogenics in action: wearables designed to improve health end up harming it.
You don’t need a sleep tracker to tell you how you feel. You can tell without drowning in metrics.

I might’ve just taken off my Oura ring. Does it help if I don’t look at it immediately and check back a week later?
