But Oura \u201cgets mad\u201d when we have more than one drink in an evening.

The analysis also highlighted increases in average heart rate for that night of sleep, which indicates the body is going through stress.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/oura-drink-less\/\" current-title=\"Don\u2019t Be Surprised if Wearing a Sleep Tracker Causes You To Start Drinking Less Alcohol\" current-image=\"Editorial-Podcast-Episode-115-1-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2022-11-24\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/oura-drink-less\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/oura-drink-less\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/oura-drink-less\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Even if someone hasn&#8217;t tagged drinking, Kryder says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/oura-ring-generation-3-review\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/oura-ring-generation-3-review\/\">Oura sometimes helps people connect the dots<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of people get the ring, they&#8217;re feeling good, and then they have one night out on a social occasion, and the next day they just get whacked,\u201d Kryder says. \u201cTheir readiness score is down, their sleep score is down. They&#8217;re looking at their phone for, what did I do last night? Then they get the prompt from us saying there are certain things that might elevate your heart rate and cause your sleep to be different, like a late meal or alcohol.\u201d And it clicks.<\/p>\n<p>For some people, that is. While the Oura has swayed my weeknight bedtime habits, I don&#8217;t really think about my scores when it comes to deciding whether to imbibe or not. What really guides me is how I want to feel later that night, the next day, and how full, tired, or how much fun I&#8217;m having in the moment.<\/p>\n<p>Behavior change around alcohol is just one of the topics Kryder and Oura lead clinical research scientist <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fouraring.sjv.io%2Fc%2F2372336%2F1408413%2F16760%3FsubId1%3DSTMSFT-1067761%26u%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fouraring.com%252Fblog%252Fouras-commitment-to-reproductive-health%252F&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Foura-drink-less%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/ouraring.com\/blog\/ouras-commitment-to-reproductive-health\/\">Neta Gotlieb, PhD,<\/a> discuss on the episode.
