One signal

Oura has published a guide to how sleep can change across menstrual cycles, pregnancy and menopause, with practical suggestions for using its app to track patterns over time.

Its Nighttime Breathing feature shows how steady breathing has been across a 30-day window after seven nights of data, according to Oura. The company says it can help users notice patterns worth discussing with a clinician, but it does not diagnose a condition. That makes this a useful tour of what a sleep-tracking ring can show, rather than a substitute for medical advice. Oura recommends looking at trends over several months and logging symptoms alongside them.

Discuss: Should wearable sleep data be routinely shared with clinicians, or should it stay a personal tracking tool unless someone has a specific concern?
