“I initially got my Whoop to help with my training and recovery, but it came in clutch when I started having sleep issues. Between traveling for work in different time zones and trying to level up my lifting sessions, I quickly realized I needed to improve my sleep health. Whoop is very detailed regarding insights for physical activity, sleep, and recovery.
The Whoop 4.0 uses various sensors and data points to track your sleep, including heart rate variability, respiratory rate, and movement. It provides you with a Sleep Score based on your time in bed, the amount of deep and REM sleep, and how long it took you to fall asleep and wake up. Using this data helps to identify patterns in your sleep, such as if you’re consistently getting enough deep sleep or waking up frequently during the night.
One of the standout features is the Whoop Sleep Coach, which gives you personalized recommendations to help improve the quality of your sleep and maximize recovery. The Sleep Coach helps determine your optimal sleep and wake times based on your daily performance goals. The Suggested Time to Bed is recommended based on your Recommended Time in Bed, Sleep Performance Goal, and desired wake-up time. The Sleep Performance Goal has three levels: ‘Peak’, ‘Perform’, or ‘Get By’, which correspond to achieving different percentages of total sleep needed.
Occasionally, I would select ‘Get By’ when jet-lagged from traveling and had a light day. However, I wanted to ensure I was hitting ‘Perform’ and ‘Peak’ levels of sleep for the days when I was physically active.
Whoop also provides haptic alerts that allow you to customize your wake-up time based on your desired goals. With overall awareness of the components of my sleep health, by implementing small changes, even imperfect ones, I was able to improve my overall sleep quality.”
Note: The WHOOP 4.0 comes at no cost (onyx band included), and the membership is $30 a month for those who opt to pay month-to-month, with an annual option as well.
