If your Oura Sleep Score keeps dipping and you want to know what to do about it, Advisor can now hand you a short plan. Oura Advisor plans started rolling out on November 10, on iOS and Android, for members with a Gen3 ring or newer.
Rings, app version and language
Oura's FAQ lists three conditions:
- an Oura Ring Gen3 or newer
- the Oura App on version 7.30.0 or later
- the app language set to English
The rollout is gradual, so a phone that meets all three may not show plans yet. Update the app if it is older than that minimum. Advisor needs the Oura membership, like scores and trends, and Oura mentions no extra fee for plans.
How a plan works
You ask Advisor something like "How can I fall asleep earlier?" If a plan could help, it offers one and asks up to three questions about things the ring can't measure, such as your work hours or your caffeine habits. It then suggests two or three options. Each says what to do, how often, and why it fits you, and you press and hold the one you want.
Plans run for up to seven days, with a yes-or-no check-in on a card in the Today tab. Evening actions such as an earlier bedtime are checked the next day. Only one Advisor plan runs at a time, though a Jet Lag Plan can run beside it.
No diet, workout or medication plans
Oura's FAQ rules out plans for diets, workouts with sets and reps, weight loss, medication and treatment, and keeps them to general wellness habits. For now, plans draw only on your sleep, recovery and activity trends, and Oura says more metrics will come later.
Bedtime, screens before sleep and caffeine are the examples Oura gives.
Don't judge it by one week of scores
Oura's FAQ says a week is often too short for scores to move, and the app shows metric changes only when it has enough data. So the check-in record, whether you kept the habit, is the useful part of the end-of-plan summary. If the habit is useful, you can repeat the plan. A short change in a ring score does not establish that the habit caused it.
Our take
Worth a try if your ring is a Gen3 or newer and your app runs in English, mainly for sleep timing. Oura does not list a separate charge for plans, and they last at most a week. Expect a habit tracker with your own data behind it. Anything medical still belongs with your doctor, which Oura says too.
