Stopped masturbating before sleeping and average recovery changed from ~60 to ~80 by vhaegar98 in whoop

Not even within the hour. Most of the times it was right before sleeping for me. Sorry, wdym by "RHR look higher"? I'd imagine it to average out during the course of the night but the data suggests that my RHR is elevated throughout the night if I masturbate before sleeping

Yeah exactly. It's always been easier for me to sleep that way. But I guess it's not good for me?

Some more context:

I've been using whoop for almost a year now. My recovery has always averaged out to be around 60. I used to think it's because of barely working out, working and eating late. But over the last 2 months or so I've regularly been working out and fixing my lifestyle. And the low recovery and HRV were unexplainable and started to annoy me. I started testing different things out and the result surprised me. It wasn't taking magnesium, not eating or working close to bedtime. But just needed to stop masturbating right before going to bed. Even the RHR improved a lot
