I had the same experience when I first started sleep tracking before beginning our start-up https://affectablesleep.com.
My oura would tell me I didn't get enough deep sleep, or REM sleep, and I was like - so what? What do I do with that information?
We're using auditory stimulation to increase the efficiency of deep sleep during the night. The data after a night of sleep is less valuable than the real-time intervention.
what do you think of binaural beats (cool edit pro did them the best, you could even use arbitrary audio) for helping with sleep?
I know it's probably a big ask to wear headphones prior to sleep but when i was younger i used binaural beats for a few years to try hacking my brain a bit. When it "clicks" the sensation is pretty noticeable and intense. I described the default "noise" binaural beats "activating" like the sound of a helicopter circling around you, but quietly and quickly.
