Hey there, fellow sleep enthusiasts! Today, we are going to dive deep into the world of sleep tracking with the Oura Ring 3's latest beta sleep staging algorithm. As a scientist and sleep tracker reviewer, I'm constantly on the lookout for the latest and greatest in sleep technology. So, I headed to the sleep lab and tested two different Oura Ring 3's for three nights, comparing their results to professional scientific sleep tracking. And let me tell you, the Oura Ring didn’t do half-bad, though it still has its issues. During my testing, I compared the Oura Ring 3's sleep stage tracking to a polysomnography device, which is considered the gold standard in sleep tracking. I wanted to see how accurate the Oura Ring 3's algorithm was at detecting different stages of sleep, such as REM and deep sleep. But I didn't stop there. I also compared the Oura Ring 3's performance to other popular smartwatches and health trackers on the market, and also compared it to the old generation 2 Oura Ring, to see how it stacked up against the competition.

To test the Oura Ring 3's new beta sleep staging algorithm, I spent three nights at a sleep lab in Salzburg, Austria. The lab is run by Professor Manuel Schabus, who is an expert in sleep research. Professor Schabus kindly provided me with the equipment and people I needed for my testing, and I'm grateful for his help in making this possible. I will also test an app for sleep tracking that his team developed in a future video. During my testing, I wore both the Oura Ring 3 and a polysomnography device, or in short a PSG device, which is considered the gold standard in sleep tracking. The polysomnography device measures brainwaves, eye movements, heart rate, and muscle activity to accurately track sleep stages. By wearing both devices, I was able to compare how well the Oura Ring 3's algorithms tracked the various stages of sleep, such as REM and deep sleep, against the scientifically validated data from the polysomnography device. I tested both the old and new algorithms on different Oura Ring 3 devices to see how much the new beta algorithm had improved.
