i think i found a gap in the market

For most of my life I tried to be someone else. I'd find someone I admired, decide they were better than me, and copy them. That mindset pushed me into a business I never enjoyed and only started because I looked up to one specific guy. It failed. I felt completely lost.

Around that time I was obsessively tracking my sleep with a Whoop, trying to optimize it. I kept getting good recovery scores. And I was still exhausted, yawning through entire afternoons, dead by 2pm. That's when it clicked: the score doesn't do anything. It just confirms you slept well or badly. Cool. Now what? Knowing isn't fixing.

So I built the thing I actually wanted. It takes the data your wearable already collects sleep, recovery, heart rate, and turns it into a daily protocol instead of another number. It tells you what supplements to take based on your metrics, predicts your most productive hours and gives you the exact time window when you should do deep focus tasks and light focus tasks, it tells you how much caffeine you have in your system left based on your first coffee taken and notifies you when you should take the next caffeinated drink for maximum productivity, it even tells you when to nap so your energy lasts the whole day instead of crashing and much more...

It's on the App Store as RizeAI https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rizeai-maximize-your-energy/id6762402079. i built by myself, it's early stage right now, and I want honest feedback, what's confusing, what's missing, what you'd never use. Tear it apart.

All the hate on Reddit

Reddit seems to be a dunk fest on Whoop. So much so that one might think their days are numbered. Yet, when I check Whoop on Amazon, it has over 17K in sales over the last month, if those sales numbers are accurate. It seems like Whoop is doing OK, to me. Could I be wrong and could the Reddit hive could be correct?

I tested different fabrics and effect on my sleep score

I have been experimenting with various sleep fabrics and their effects on my whoop sleep score. I conducted this small study on my own at home and on myself. I am a male gym athlete, I have a higher BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) due to which I sleep hot and wake up sweaty, and have midnight wakes due to sudden heat spikes and sweat.

Controls:

Control 1: Oura Ring worn in the Index Finger for all Nights.
Control 2: AC set to Auto at 21 degrees Celsius or 69.8 degrees Farrenheit.
Control 3: Humidity controlled between 35 - 40% on all nights.
Control 4: 100% Cotton Bedsheets, Duvet Cover and pillow Covers.
Control 5: Mulberry Silk filled Duvet and Pillows.
Control 6: Short Format sleepwear (short sleeve T-Shirt and Shorts)

Independent Variable: The Fabric used in my sleep wear.

- 95% Polyester, 5% Elastane
- 100% Cotton
- 100% Bamboo Viscose
- 100% Silk
- 100% Tencel
- 100% Merino Wool
- 100% Tencel/ Modal

Each type of fabric was worn for 7 nights each and an average was taken of the sleep score.

The Results are as follows:

- 95% Polyester, 5% Elastane: 64.2
- 100% Cotton: 66.3
- 100% Bamboo Viscose: 79.8 (I was genuinely surprised because the fabric did not feel comfortable)
- 100% Silk: 62.5 (It was too rigid without any give)
- 100% Tencel: 89.8 (The winner)
- 100% Merino Wool: 83.5 (Another surprise for a hot sleeper, I thought this would make me feel hot)

Do let me know if you guys know any other fabrics that I can try with!!

Whoop wristband

Hi everyone, I’m thinking of getting a Whoop and I’d like to know which band is the best and what the bicep band feels like? I’ve seen in old posts that lots of people use the Hydroknit, but that’s not available for the 5.0?

Shipping to DK (Slow AF?)

Hello all.

I’d like to know if anyone has experiences with Whoop shipping to Denmark (or any other Nordic country). I’m now currently on the 3rd week since ordering, and have not received any sort of indication as to when I can expect delivery. I got an email on the 19th (today is the 6th), that my order had been shipped, however when I use their websites in-built tracker, my order is still “waiting to be processed”…🥲

Has anyone else experienced these crazy long delivery times to this part of Europe, or should I just let it be and it’ll probably arrive at some point?

I reached out to whoop’s support team which unfortunately are as much help as tits on a bull😔

Beware: Whoop trial

Honestly I was interested in the ecosystem but how the trial band is positioned feels so bait and switch. Maybe I should have read the fine print if it was even present. The return label is almost double the initial shipping. It isn’t explicit that I would be forced to pay for return shipping or be charged $150 if I didn’t like the product.

I feel like whoop’s business model is attract as much new business but lock-in or make leaving as inconvenient as possible.

They should focus on producing the best possible product experience to keep retention.

I completed the 250 challenge — now how do I get the reward?

Do I have to wait for it to be over? I don’t see anyway to claim my coupon at the Whoop store. I’ve been wanting a new band. I was going to buy it out right but I liked taking part in this challenge. Looking forward to the next one!

Are these cosmetic scratches normal?

My device just got delivered today…

I find it very difficult to unclasp by holding the two sides and pulling upwards.

I end up using my thumb to pull up the clasp.

Ive noticed those cosmetic scratches, any tips?

I understand this device is meant to be worn throughout the day, including workouts but im really struggling with the clasp!

Band question

Which bands come with this small rubber piece on sliding edge like in the photo? This is the SuperKnit band that came with my Peak device. I later bought a SportFlex band that doesn’t have this rubber on the sliding edge. Without the rubber, the band slides off extremely easy.

Is the recovery data trustworthy?!

I've had my Whoop for about 2 months now, but now I'm just realising, is the recovery data actually trustworthy?

Like yesterday was nice weather so I had a few beers, ate junk all day, spent time in the hot tub, so dehydrated myself, woke up at 6am (kids), and feel pretty groggy and rubbish this morning. Yet, my recovery score is the highest it's ever been at 96%! And Whoop's suggesting I go "all out today". So there's a huge difference in what the data apparently says, and how ready I actually feel :/ and then, if that's the case, what's the point in the recovery score if it's so different to how ready I actually feel...

But maybe if beers, junk food, and dehydration all increase my score then I just need to relax and let go a bit more!

Is Whoop worth it over S10?

I already have a S10 watch (Apple) and have started to use Bevel, but do you guys think getting a Whoop Peak subscription is worth it if I already have this combo?
Is HRV tracking much better on the whoop compared to the S10?

Have you used Bevel?
