The Oura Ring Has Landed in SA... This is How to Get Rewarded For Your Sleep!

Loading player...
This week on Good Things with Brent Lindeque, we dive into something genuinely exciting: Discovery has become the first health insurer in the world to reward you for sleep. Yes… sleep! And I get to unpack all of it with Robert Attwell, CEO of Discovery Insure.

A couple of weeks ago, I joined the Discovery team at their media launch, where they announced their brand-new sleep benefit (going live in February 2026) and handed us the Oura Ring... making us the very first South Africans to try it.

I’ve been wearing mine for a month now and I’m obsessed.

Sure, my watch tracks a lot but the ring goes deeper: sleep cycles, readiness, temperature, recovery and all our sleeping habits.

In this episode, Robert and I talk about:

✨ How the Oura Ring fits into Discovery’s ecosystem
✨ What the upcoming sleep benefits actually mean for South Africans
✨ Why good rest is directly linked to safer driving
✨ And how small lifestyle shifts can create massive positive change

If you’re curious about sleep tech, Oura, Discovery, or how to turn rest into rewards… this episode is for you.
