Whoop Band | NLU Group Code: COMM-NLUNLU

You drinking enough water a day? (Ideally 72oz+). Eating late meals right before bed? No alcohol obviously.

You’ve been using the journal correct? Should be able to use the monthly report and see the small changes anything else you use should show up there.

And I can relate on the child front. I got a 8month old who has decided sleep isn’t fun. So my whoop is all over. But you can get in the green with little sleep.

Hey guise. Fresh joiner of the whoop tang clan. Any tips or tricks I should know? Trying to get healthier and really want to understand my sleep, heart rate patterns and more.

First few nights and full day of work have been wildly revealing. It’s obvious I need to find ways to sleep better and manage my blood pressure/heart rate at work.

Welcome! It will take some time to get your baselines, but after that it’s pretty clear as to what makes your body do certain things.

Do some A/B testing in your first days wearing it, whether it be with food, drink, supplements, etc. The journal is a big help also

I’ll be intrigued. I’ve had a successful dry january to this point and been on a solid routine of exercising. But, it telling me that I need 9:45 mins of sleep to be fully revived is a bit concerning.

I don’t have one but “whoop tang clan” is reason enough to get one

So it finally arrived and I’m in the group! Now, because I’m in that introductory period where it’s establishing baselines, can I not add stuff to my journal yet? I only saw this because I want the fine people at Whoop to know that I’m currently enjoying a very healthy pour of Glenkinchie :rofl::rofl:

97% recovery after a three bourbon night.

Whoop more drunk than I was, apparently.

Anyone have an issue with your strap not charging? I forgot to charge the battery pack and let the strap run out of battery, but now with a fully charged battery pack (green light showing), I cannot get the strap to charge.

I ran through all the troubleshooting steps on the whoop website, but it is still not working. Wanted to see if anyone else has had the same issue before contacting whoop.

I’ve been able to fix this issue in the past by not allowing the strap to ever run out of battery. I would give it a try

Had a similar thing happen while I was on a bachelor party though I think it died prematurely. I had to send it back and they replaced it.

Their customer service is pretty good. They’ll walk you through some steps to try and get it going again before asking you to send it back.

Does anybody have an issue where the band catches you driving and thinks it’s a exercise?

My goodness man, how do you drive?

I had an issue like this where it stopped charging beyond 84%.

I rebooted the strap via the app and it fixed it.

Yes. When I first was using the wrist band I drove 10 minutes down the road and it somehow thought my heartrate was like 184.

Anyone had any issues with pairing to Android phones? Running an LGV30+ - it’s managed to pair with the strap once but never again (only had it for a couple of weeks).

Pairs fine with the wife’s iPhone which makes me think it’s probably my phone but interested if anyone else has seen similar. I’ve followed all of Whoop’s troubleshooting advice

I was correct. Dry January provided no red recovery days and I hit my highest total amount of 10+ strain days in a month.

My body is weird AF. I don’t drink usually Sunday to Thursday. I’ll have a beer or 2 Friday and usually some bourbon Saturday. Not even that much either. 1-2 beers (craft stuff) and 1-2 small 2-4 oz pours.

Usually one of those days are green.

Rest of week is a mix of yellow and green.

Again I have a 8 month old who doesn’t sleep through the night so there’s that.

I’m only on day 6 of wearing my Whoop. With my kids in daycare bc of COVID, I had to pick up a 2nd job in August that doesn’t get me in bed till around midnight Mon-Fri. I’m up at 5:30 the next morning getting the kids ready and then heading off to school to teach. I eventually got into a groove and was surviving the sleep deprivation… until 5 days ago when i woke up and saw my data. Actually seeing how shitty my sleep and recovery stats are has slapped me in the face and I’ve never felt this tired. Sometimes the truth hurts!

Lack of sleep is a force multiplier on so many diseases too: diabetes, heart disease, stroke, dementia and others.
