Your Annual Review Oura is here, and the global statistics are not forgotten
What you need to know
- Beyond personal statistics, Oura analyzed anonymized data from millions of users to map real-world sleep, activity, stress, and heart health trends through its 2025 iteration.
- New Zealand tops the chart with an Average Sleep score of 80, Australia is next at 79.4, and several European countries are in the high 70s.
- Women sleep longer, score higher on sleep and work, and have younger cardiovascular health – but they also log about 30 more stressful minutes a day than men.
Oura’s annual wrap often feels like a pat on the back. However, this year, it also offers a look at global health trends.
The company released its 2025 Year in Review, and while it still highlights individual wins within the Oura app, the bigger story comes from aggregating data from millions of users. Some countries sleep better, some travel a lot, and some seem more depressed than you would expect.
If you’ve worn an Oura ring for at least 60 days this year, your personal Year Review is ready in the app under the Today tab or Reports under Year.
That includes your personal statistics. The most interesting angle, however, is the anonymous global data released from millions of members between mid-November 2024 and mid-November 2025.
Let’s start with sleep. Oura’s data shows that New Zealand and Australia are leading the way. Members of New Zealand had an average Sleep Score of 80, with Australia close behind at 79.4. Europe also did well, with Austria, Denmark, Sweden, the UK, and Czechia all hitting the high 70s.
Women win on most metrics, but depression tells a different story
Oura also breaks gender performance, and the results are not subtle. Women sleep 7.24 hours per night compared to 6.8 hours for men. They also posted higher Sleep Scores (79.2 vs. 76), stronger Activity Scores, and a slightly better Cardiovascular Age (CVA).
But there is a trade-off. On average, women log about 30 more stressful minutes per day than men. This is not just emotional distress. Oura’s Daytime Stress feature tracks physiological signals such as changes in heart rate and temperature, which can increase after exercise, caffeine, or strenuous activity.
Europe is leaving
On a daily basis, Europe comes out ahead. Ireland led with an average of 8,924 steps per day, followed by Spain and Italy. Oura shows that regular walking is one of the best predictors of better sleep, less anxiety, and improved heart health.
The most surprising data may be related to stress. The United States ranked first, averaging 121.2 minutes stressed per day, but it wasn’t alone. The Netherlands, Norway, Austria, and Canada all make the top five.
That’s surprising, especially since many of these countries tend to score high for happiness and quality of life.
If there’s one region that seems untouchable, it’s Scandinavia. Sweden posted the lowest Cardiovascular Age at -2.8, indicating that members’ hearts appear to be three years younger than their actual age. Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Denmark followed closely behind.
