What's Being Studied?

This study measures changes in sleep quality using a well-known sleep questionnaire and sleep data from your Oura Ring, such as total sleep time and sleep efficiency. Researchers want to better understand sleep patterns in post-menopausal and late perimenopausal women. The study is randomized and double-blind, so neither you nor the study team knows which product you receive.
