Has anyone actually done a sweat test to measure electrolyte loss?

I run a ton and always notice visible salt on my clothing / body after. During harder efforts or hotter days, the effects of dehydration are more noticeable. Wondering if sweat tests are valuable in informing how much sodium to supplement, or is just guessing and taking a bunch good enough.

Is Oura babying us?

I've used whoop in the past and the fluctuations of my HRV/RHR would show up a lot more severe than with oura. There have been certain nights where I get <5 hours of sleep and drank the night before, and oura still won't give me a sleep/readiness score under 50.

It also feels a lot easier to catch up on sleep debt with oura. Calories seem overestimated + activity is always 95+. Is oura ring babying me or was whoop overharsh?
