WHOOP 4.0 Feature: Sleep Coach with Haptic Alerts

WHOOP 4.0 features upgrades to the Sleep Planner including haptic alerts that can help you plan your sleep, wake when you need to, and help you maximize recovery so you’re ready for the day.

The Sleep Planner helps you establish a nightly routine by determining the best time for you to go to bed and to wake feeling refreshed. And with haptic alerts, the WHOOP 4.0 uses gentle vibrations to wake you in a less jarring way than an audio alarm and minimizes disruptions for your partner or roommates.

 

The Upgraded WHOOP Sleep Planner with Haptic Alerts

The WHOOP Sleep Planner makes recommendations based on your individual circadian rhythm, daily strain and sleep debt, and whether you want to peak (100% of your sleep need), perform (85%), or get by (70%). The upgraded Sleep Planner helps you put those recommendations into practice with a silent alarm that you can set based on your daily schedule. The WHOOP 4.0 includes haptic alerts that act as a silent alarm you can set three ways.
