Finger Temperature Deviation

Useful to Know About Finger Temperature Deviation:

Deﬁnition: Finger temperature deviation is a measurement of body temperature taken by the Inspiring® smart ring while you sleep. It shows the change in body temperature compared to an average of previous sleep measurements. This can help identify subtle changes in the body that may indicate stress, illness, or hormonal ﬂuctuations.

Individual baseline:

Each person’s ﬁnger temperature baseline is unique. This means that small changes can have different meanings depending on the individual.

Tracking changes in your own ﬁnger temperature over time can provide valuable

insights into your health and well-being.

Normal variation:

Body temperature naturally varies from night to night.

Deviations of up to 1°C (1.8°F) from the baseline are common and not necessarily a cause for concern.

Inﬂuencing factors: Finger temperature can be inﬂuenced by several factors, including:

Diet: Especially the intake of spicy or hot food before bed can affect body

temperature.

Exercise: Intense exercise can cause a temporary increase in body temperature, especially if performed close to bedtime.

Alcohol consumption: Alcohol can affect the body’s ability to regulate temperature efficiently.

Physiological factors such as the menstrual cycle: For women, temperature

can ﬂuctuate during different phases of the menstrual cycle.

Illness: Fever or other infections can lead to higher ﬁnger temperature.

Sleep environment: Factors such as room temperature, bedding, and humidity

can also affect measurements.

Health insights:

Signiﬁcant deviations in ﬁnger temperature can provide insights into how your body is responding to various inﬂuences.

For example, an increase in temperature may indicate the onset of illness or inﬂammation. This can be useful for detecting health issues early, before symptoms appear.
