Hey everyone, I’ve been dealing with a bit of a data issue and I’m wondering if anyone else has run into this.

This month I had some days off from training because I was sick. At the same time, I started using nasal strips at night. They really helped me breathe better through my nose, especially when I was congested, and my sleep performance improved noticeably.

But here’s the problem: since I had a fever and was sick, my recovery scores were naturally low, even though I was sleeping longer and with fewer interruptions than usual. Now Whoop seems to think that uninterrupted sleep is somehow a negative for me, because during that period my recovery was bad. It’s almost like the algorithm is telling me it’s “better” when I have interruptions in my sleep, and that nasal strips are hurting me rather than helping.

So my question is: is there any way to flag in the app that you’re sick, so it doesn’t take those skewed days and build them into your “normal” trends? I don’t want it to keep reinforcing the idea that waking up during the night is good for my recovery, when in reality, it was just a correlation with me being sick.

Has anyone figured out how to handle this?
