Ultrahuman.

Off the back of last week’s blog Is Poor Sleep Really That Bad for Your Health?, we’re diving into something that’s been a total game changer for our sleep, recovery and daily energy. Introducing the Ultrahuman Ring.

If you’ve ever questioned whether your 4pm flat white is messing with your sleep, or wondered why you still feel sluggish after a full eight hours in bed, you’re not alone. We’ve been there too. Here’s why the whole Mode team is now wearing one and why it might be worth a look for you too.

This sleek little wearable does more than just sit pretty on your finger. It gives you real-time insights into what your body’s up to behind the scenes, from sleep quality and recovery to movement, metabolism and more. Think of it as a low-key health coach that doesn’t shout, just gently nudges you in the right direction.

Here’s what it tracks:

  • Sleep quality: Not just how long you sleep, but how deep you go . Including REM (Rapid Eye Movement), light and deep sleep stages, plus how often you’re waking and how restful the night actually was

  • Recovery score: Using your heart rate variability, resting heart rate and skin temperature to show how well your body bounced back overnight

  • Movement index: Tells you if you’ve moved enough (and the right way) for long-term energy and balance

  • Metabolic health: If you pair it with a continuous glucose monitor, it can track how your body responds to food

But for us, it’s not about chasing perfect stats. It’s about tuning in. Learning what your body needs. Figuring out when to cut the caffeine, when to power down the screens, and when it’s okay to skip the workout because your body’s asking for rest.

We’ve all had little shifts since wearing it. Earlier bedtimes, better food timing, gentler mornings after rough nights. It’s like finally getting the memo your body has been sending you for years.

Now, full transparency, the battery hasn’t been flawless. A couple of us had hiccups early on, but the Ultrahuman support team sorted it quickly and kindly. That kind of service matters. Especially to a clinic like us, where care is everything.

What we love most? It’s not just tech. It’s a tool for self-awareness. A daily reminder that health isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what actually feels right.

So if you’re even a little bit curious about your sleep, your energy or how your body works behind the scenes, the Ultrahuman Ring might just be your new favourite thing.

And yes, it looks seriously good too.

Thanks for reading.

Team Mode.
