See your whole night at a glance

6 MIN READ · VITRA HEALTH

A sleep score tells you a night happened. It rarely tells you what shape the night had — when you fell asleep, when you surfaced, how the stages stacked up. Vitra draws your night so you can read it in one look.

Your night, as a clock

Vitra's sleep clock-face maps the night onto a 24-hour dial with midnight at the top. Every five-minute stretch is a coloured arc at its real clock position, so bedtime, wake time, the whole sleep window, and every wake-up are spatial. You see the shape of the night — solid and unbroken, or scattered — before you read a single number.

Stages and wake-ups, in plain terms

Below the clock, a timeline strip shows deep, REM, light and awake, with the exact times you woke and for how long. Vitra names what matters — how many times you surfaced, your longest awake stretch, how long it took to fall asleep — instead of leaving you to decode a stacked chart.

A sleep window built for you

Rather than a generic “aim for 8 hours,” Vitra learns the duration where your readiness plateaus and suggests a time-in-bed window anchored to your own wake time. It reads your night-to-night efficiency and gives richer guidance when your sleep runs fragmented — with the research cited so you can see why.

The gold-standard method, made followable

The Sleep page includes a CBT-i tab — the front-line, drug-free method for better sleep. A diary auto-fills from your ring each morning (correct any night by hand), your sleep efficiency is tracked against the 85–90% target band, and a wake-up heatmap shows the clock hours you tend to surface. The sleep-restriction window stays behind a toggle on purpose — it has real contraindications.

Debt, timing, and breathing

A rolling sleep-debt read shows how far behind you've fallen and whether it's building or clearing. Timing surfaces your average bedtime and how steady it is — regularity now rates above raw hours for health. And overnight blood-oxygen and breathing-rate tabs plot against your own normal, so an unusual night stands out at a glance, with the sleep-apnoea research behind them cited.

Understand it, privately

Every read shows how many nights back it, and tapping any term explains it in plain language. It's all computed on your Mac or PC from your own Oura data — nothing about your sleep leaves your machine, and there's no subscription.

This is general educational information, not medical advice. Persistent sleep problems or suspected sleep apnoea are worth discussing with a clinician.

Frequently asked questions

What does the sleep clock-face show?
It maps your night onto a 24-hour dial with midnight at the top. Each five-minute epoch is a coloured arc at its real clock time, so you can see bedtime, wake time, the sleep window and every wake-up as a shape — a fast, glanceable read that complements the exact stage timeline below it.
Does Vitra support CBT-i?
Yes. The Sleep page has a CBT-i tab with a diary that auto-fills from your ring, sleep-efficiency tracking against the 85–90% band, a wake-up heatmap, and opt-in sleep-window guidance. The sleep-restriction step is behind a toggle because it has real contraindications. It's a tool to follow the method, not a substitute for clinical care.
Can Vitra flag sleep apnoea?
Vitra plots your overnight blood oxygen and breathing rate against your own normal and cites the relevant research, so a notable night stands out. It is not a diagnostic device — repeated dips are worth raising with a clinician.
