Ideal bedtime

Ideal bedtime is an optimal bedtime window that is calculated based on your sleep data.

If you're new to Oura, it will take a few weeks to receive your first ideal bedtime window. Having an irregular sleep schedule may also result in missing ideal bedtime data.

Note: it is not guaranteed that an ideal bedtime window is calculated for every day. Days may be missing in the requested period.
