I'm the CEO of Oura. I wake up at 5 a.m. when things are going well, and 3:30 a.m. when they're not. Here's what a day in my life looks like.
The CEO of Oura Health, Tom Hale, shares his wellness-focused routine, integrating health data and time management for productivity and balance.
Tom Hale, the 57-year-old CEO of Oura Health, wakes up without an alarm at 5 a.m. daily. He checks his Oura Ring to assess his sleep quality and gauge his readiness for the day. If his score is below average, he rests and avoids major decisions. If it's above average, he pushes himself in workouts and at work. When things are going well, he sleeps until 5 a.m.; when they're not, he wakes up at 3:30 a.m. to catch some more sleep.
After showering and doing a breathing exercise, he starts his day at 6 a.m. by checking company stats, news, and overnight events from Finland. He relies on curators for news, reads The Information and Headlines newsletters, and uses LinkedIn for content. He walks to work, listening to podcasts or taking calls. In the morning, he feels most anxious and stressed, which calms down as he gets into the swing of things.
His workspace is minimalistic, with a standing desk and an open floor plan. He has a weekly cadence and eats two meals on repeat, one at noon and another during the day. He spends his most productive hours between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. and leaves the office around 7:30 p.m. He enjoys family dinners with his wife and unwinds by watching TV or reading together.
In the evening, he follows a strict routine, including eating dinner, watching TV or reading, sleeping with a sleep mask and earplugs, and taking magnesium and melatonin.
