Are you a restless sleeper?  
A fresh look at the Oura movement graph  
Did you know that in the Daily movement graph you can see not only your daily movement, but also  
your nightly movement?  
In this Oura Exclusive we'll take a closer look at restless sleep.  
To understand how restful your  
sleep is, first take a look at these metrics:  
– Awake time  
– Restfulness  
– Sleep efficiency  
Besides these metrics it might be worthwhile to take a look at the daily movement graph.  
The graph  
shows a 24 hour span starting at 4 am and ending at 4 am the following night.  
For the sake of this  
exploration, ignore the daily movement and focus on what happens after you fall asleep.  
Do you see any short gray bars next to the dark gray ones?  
That's you tossing and turning, getting  
up to check on the kids, the dog or going to the bathroom.  
To get a closer look,  
link  
log into Oura Cloud  
with your Oura account and navigate to Dashboard  greater  Activity.  
You'll see something like this:  
We're interested in what happens at night, so let's focus on the latter part of the graph.  
Each bar  
in the Oura Cloud graph represents 5 minutes.  
We can see from the image that this person is fairly restful during the night with some  
interspersed periods of increased movement.  
As always, it's best to compare your nights to your own  
baseline instead comparing to other people.  
If you feel rested in the morning, you don't need to worry about seeing movement during the night.  
It's completely normal.  
If your Oura app says you should pay attention to the Restfulness  
contributor or if you feel like your nights are restless, check out this

Am I sleeping too much?  
The consensus view, passed down over the decades via public service announcement infographics, is  
that adults should get somewhere between seven and eight hours of shut eye.  
But by snoozing a few  
extra hours, are the world’s tip top athletes whose jobs require them to stay in outrageously good  
shape on to something the rest of us aren’t?

Why the Brain Requires Sleep  
If sleep actually does  rebalance  the brain, then two things should happen: The synapses should  
swell during the day as the brain is exposed to a plethora of new things and experiences, and they  
should shrink ever so slightly at night as the brain returns to a  synaptic homeostasis,  as the  
authors put it, and gets ready to complete that process all over again.
