Can @IlliniGolferHack add me to the whoop group, please @alanUK. Thanks
The Black Friday deal is up 25% year membership if you extend. 20% of anything in the shop.
Any idea if we can stack a promo code on top?
Alright 90 days in and being a data nerd many questions about myself and practices have arrived. The biggest one that I struggle with is sleep. Particularly REM / SWS has become something that I add to my aspirations of increasing efficiency in.
Any routines, snake oil, cbd, diets, hitting the devils lettuce, hydration techniques you have developed to see #gains in this area. (Eliminating alcohol is an obvious solution.) I have a decent routine of reading before bed (thank you book club for suggestions) and follow other whoop based guidance but would appreciate some feedback of success stories here. Thanks!
@edwardcheese in the whoop group!
I noticed an uptick in my REM and SWS after implementing CBD oil before bed. Did a little experiment the other night and took melatonin and CBD oil. Knocked me out and got almost 3 hours of REM sleep.
Titleist sent me a Whoop and year subscription. today is day 1. I plan on going back through this thread but for nowā¦ TL;DR.
anything interesting I should know or just live and breathe for four days while it collects baselines.
Takes about a month to get a baseline. Red just means not fully recovered; light workout. Yellow is normal. Green means push it. Be honest with the journal

data nerd?
I need to start using the journal. Feel like Iām missing out on some good insights

Missed the Black Friday deal, whatās the best code available for a long term subscription?
Just got my first monthly report. Unable to calculate the impact of alcohol on my recovery due to my failure to report at least 5 days without alcohol. Yikesā¦

question about sleepā¦
do you select sleep as your activity when you go to bed? and if soā¦if you wake up in the middle of the night and canāt go get back to sleep for 2 hours, do you change it?
Yes on the first question for at least the first week or two, then it will start auto-detecting.
For the 2nd - I put my sleep for as long as Iām in bed trying to sleep. So if I wake up, am awake for 30 mins, then go back to sleep, I count that all as āSleepā time. Because I want it capturing the inefficiency of my sleep during the night, being awake for 30 mins in the middle of the night sucks and is not helpful, so I want that captured.

It will give you a time in bed estimate along with sleep. I always let mine autodetect from day 1 and seems to only get more accurate with time.
Occasionally itāll have something wild, then I edit the start/end times to match up with about what I thought. I think Iāve done that maybe twice for sure once since July.

thanks for those replies. I think iāll set it for the first week and then let it auto detect from there.
itās certainly interesting. I definitely need to spend some time reading on it. appreciate the info here too.
Iām with @JScore where I let it detect my sleep since day 1. Iāve only had to adjust it a couple of times where it thought I woke up a couple hours earlier than I actually did, but itās easy to adjust in the app. Iāve found the sleep tracking to be super beneficial

I started with selecting sleep when I got into bed but found that made me anxious about not falling asleep. Now just auto-detect. Doesnāt give latency results but can figure it out based on times

Iāve only ever let it autodetect, and itās been quite good.
Once when I had a long coding session, so I wasnāt doing much movement, it auto-tagged me as napping. That was kinda funny. 
I deleted the ānapā and moved on.
Itās freaky how accurate itās always been with sleep, even if I stay in bed a bit longer. I do tend to fall asleep pretty quickly, though, so I think that helps.
