Using the Oura ring for morning HRV measurements

In case you would like to use your Oura ring to measure your HRV in the morning, as opposed to the night, you can do so following the procedure below.

If you are wondering why you would want to measure HRV in the morning instead of the night, here you can find some useful pointers about the differences between these two measurement times. 

From the Oura app, tap the plus icon, and start an Unguided session:

Make sure to set the unguided session duration to 3 minutes, otherwise the ring will not report HRV data, but only heart rate:

At this point, select Manual Input from Settings in HRV4Training, so that you can enter your heart rate and HRV in the HRV4Training questionnaire, instead of measuring via the app.

You can learn more about Manual Input, here.

​Enjoy.
