Introducing Sleep Debt on Ultrahuman - a novel way to understand your personalised sleep needs. The sleep debt counter resets every week to give you a chance to start afresh. When it comes to sleep, the debt is easy to accumulate but hard to pay back. Here’s more about it: 1. For sleep health, consistency matters more than maximing sleep on a single day or weekend. Catching up on your sleep might not be the best way to sync with your circadian clock and it increases many risk factors: 2. Unhealthy weight gain: A study published in Current Biology found that irregular sleep patterns, such as "catch-up" sleep on weekends, are linked to circadian rhythm disruption. This is linked to increased caloric intake, weight gain, and reduced insulin sensitivity compared to consistent sleep schedules. 3. Affects cognitive performance: Individuals with irregular sleep patterns perform worse on cognitive tests than those with regular sleep schedules, even if their total sleep time is similar. This is basis the Research from the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine. 4. Increased cardiovascular risk: Irregular sleep patterns are associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Consistent sleep schedules help maintain stable blood pressure and heart rate, reducing the risk of heart-related conditions. This is basis a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. 5. If you’re pressed for time, allocating a specific window for sleeping and maintaining discipline around minimum sleep time is probably one of the best ways to firm up your health’s foundation.

Two months ago, I received an email from the company Ultrahuman, who wanted me to test their smart ring, the Ultrahuman Ring Air. However, it was not a collaboration or some kind of sponsored video; it was just a serious offer to try their device and create my own content with my own thoughts. They patiently waited until I settled, as I was on a trip in Japan, then spent a few days in Slovakia, and afterward moved to Iceland. There, I finally opened the received box and started my review. So, here it is: my take on this very cool gadget. Enjoy! #ultrahuman #smartring #review #thehoodunboxing #sidliskovyunboxing #ultrahumanringair

Have you ever wondered how your quality of sleep varies or differs when you travel? How about your fitness levels? How many steps are you actually getting in while wandering the streets of your destination? Interested in understanding how and when caffeine can help you adjust your circadian rhythm to a new time zone and boost creativity and productivity? Did you know that stress can be a good thing at certain times of day? Would you like to learn how to control and harness it for good? These are all unique features that the Ultrahuman Ring AIR can help you with. I’ve been testing it out for the past couple of months, changing time zones and giving it a thorough beating. Although I got mine for free (full disclosure), here are a few reasons I would pay to get one: 🔋 The battery lasts for days, so it can track both daytime and nighttime activities. (My Apple Watch by contrast, needs charging every night so I can’t get sleep insights.) 📈 You not only get a ton of data on sleep, heart rate, movement, etc - but then that data is interpreted for you and you receive actionable insights that can improve your life and routine daily. ☕️ For example, the app tells me when the optimal times are each day to consume caffeine; when I can start, and also when I should start tapering off. This changes each day depending on how and when I slept the night before.    🧘♀️ I got a nudge the other day to do a specific breathing exercise to help adjust my heart rate, rest, and reduce my stress because it was out of whack for the time of day. In five minutes I fixed the problem and felt much better! 💪 In fact, there is an entire library of breathing exercises, meditations, workouts, podcasts, and much more that you can choose from depending on your goal in that moment (from weight loss to taking a mid-day break and everything in between). ⏰ When I’m changing time zones, the Circadian Phase alignment helps me get on track by encouraging me to get bright light exposure at certain times of day, when to exercise, etc. 🤝 It syncs with other fitness trackers and apps like Strava, Apple Watch/Workout, and more! 🤑 And, drum roll please….unlike other rings on the market, there are no subscription fees (and it’s cheaper overall)! There is a lot more I could say about the Ultrahuman Ring AIR. I’ve owned various fitness trackers, and this is by far my fav so far.  It is also a fairly new product, and they are releasing new developments and features all the time! Just when I think it can’t get better, it does. Use this link for a special discount! (affiliate link): https://lnkd.in/dBghY_nA If that doesn’t work, enter NORA10 for a 10% discount 💰

When we talk about Indian startups going global, we often think of software companies. But Ultrahuman is changing that narrative, and how! It all started on a beach in Thailand (of all places!) where Mohit Kumar dreamed up this idea. Fast forward to 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic and chip shortage, when most were struggling with Chinese manufacturing, Mohit and Vatsal took a bold step - they built in-house, right here in India. They called it the Ultrafactory. From making just 20 health tracking rings a day, they scaled to 10,000 a month. All while maintaining world-class quality. 🚀 And they didn't stop there. Ultrahuman has now set up shop in the USA. An Indian hardware startup, manufacturing in the US. If that doesn't spell ambition, I don't know what does. They are showing the world that India can build, and build well. Ultrahuman's journey got me thinking - what does it really take to build a world-class product from India? How do you blend hardware, software, and AI to create something truly game-changing? Well, we're in luck. Mohit Kumar is joining us for our next 'Your Third Place' event to share his insights. It's a closed-door session with limited seats. 📅 On Saturday, 6th July, 05:00 PM onwards in Bengaluru. If you're curious to learn more, the application link is in the comments.
