How to get the benefit of a high-end fitness tracker without buying one

The article says these 6 &quot;tips&quot; are data-driven, yet provides no source or information on why or how the tips actually work. Just that fitness tracker Reddit users &quot;tend to converge on the same set of lifestyle recommendations.&quot;<p>For instance, why does eating before bed affect sleep quality? What kind of times are we talking about here? An hour? Two? Five?<p>The rest I anecdotally agree with as I have experienced them. But I&#x27;ve never thought my sleep quality suffered due to eating dinner late. What&#x27;s the reasoning behind that?

This has confused me.<p>I have the Oura with all of the features unlocked without subscription. I don&#x27;t pay anything.<p>I bought the ring a few years ago. Maybe they provided lifetime membership to older customers?

There are two key assumptions here:<p>1. All these changes work for everyone. 2. You are just like everyone else.<p>Maybe it&#x27;s true. Maybe it&#x27;s not. The benefit of the tracker would be to find out.<p>Maybe you don&#x27;t even have a problem with sleep anyway.

&gt; For those unfamiliar, Whoop and Oura are high-end fitness trackers that require an expensive monthly subscription.<p>Why is this subscription needed? If you wear the device, can you get the data yourself and analyze it?

Not sure this works.<p>Yes, we all know the good habits.<p>A fitness tracker enables a gamification that encourages the daily habits.

Damn, no more easy improvements for me, it seems. Been doing all that for a long time.
