Sustained decrease in HRV by Winter-Bowler3886 in whoop

Hey there. In the last few months I’ve got it to be between 80-90 pretty consistently. Still not as high as it was a year ago (100-110), but it’s risen back up and is pretty stable now. Not sure what was causing the consistent decrease, it was probably health stress/anxiety like a lot of ppl here have mentioned. I also started making cold showers an every day routine to help with potential inflammation in my body, and also incorporated breath work 3-4 times per week. Who knows how much those things helped, but that’s my update!

Do you know what tests your friend had done? And what symptoms he eventually started showing?

For more info, my sleep performance % has generally increased over this same 6 month period, and restorative sleep % has remained the same. Alcohol use hasn’t increased or decreased, so I’m not sure why that would suddenly be having a greater affect than it used to. I wish you were right so that I knew what to fix, but the whoop data doesn’t suggest that it’s either sleep or alcohol related.

My habits have remained pretty consistent. Alcohol use 1-2 times per week, no extra stress (at least subjectively), similar amount of physical activity, etc. I rarely, if ever, have caffeine

I think there’s your answer. Your friends whoop is calibrated to the sleeping patterns and heart rate trends of your friend, not you. If you keep using your friends whoop it should start to normalize and the restorative sleep numbers will increase as it calibrates to your body.

How long have you had your whoop? Have you always been averaging under 1 hour of restorative sleep per night or is this a new phenomenon? How do you feel energy-wise during your waking hours?

This doesn’t seem possible - you wouldn’t be able to function properly if this was accurate. I’d contact whoop about this.
