The WHOOP Journal
Discover how choices and behaviors impact your physiological data.
Ever wonder how CBD oil affects your recovery? If wearing a sleep mask really makes a difference? Log specific choices, behaviors, and other variables that may impact performance on a daily basis with the WHOOP Journal. Understand how behaviors impact you and optimize your routine with confidence.
Track Your Behaviors in the WHOOP Journal
The journal further personalizes the WHOOP experience by offering a wide range of more than 140+ behaviors to choose from within several categories, so you can monitor how these behaviors affect your data.
The WHOOP Journal allows you to track various behaviors on a daily basis in order to see their effect on your physiological metrics.
Here’s what to expect:
- Log behaviors in your Journal as you do them or at the end of the day
- Answer all of your questions on one page
- See the behaviors you’ve chosen to track grouped by categories
- Input times, frequency, and quantity more efficiently
- Default to “no” so only the things you did that day require a response
- Edit responses individually if you want to go back and change something
We’ve also added several new mental health behaviors you can log to help you better manage your holistic health.
What You Can Track
There’s a long list of journal options to choose from, spanning a variety of categories including:
- Recovery (modalities like acupuncture, ice baths, massage, and stretching)
- Sleep (blue-light blocking glasses, sound machine, sharing a bed, etc)
- Nutrition (choices such as paleo, plant-based, or a late meal)
- Supplements (melatonin, turmeric, and more)
- Medications (including dosage and frequency)
- Lifestyle (things like working from home, alcohol consumption, sex)
- Mental Health (anxiety, therapy sessions, journaling)
- Reproductive Health (menstruating, pregnant, trying to conceive)
There is also a field to define the time at which a behavior occurred for more specific tracking, and a section to enter personal notes for an added layer of documentation. Members can choose different statuses within their journals as well. These toggle on and off, denoting behaviors lasting for an extended period of time–like being injured, sick, or parenting an infant.
How Does the Journal Work?
You can access the Journal from the action (+) button or by scrolling down on the overview screen. Once you tap in, you can customize any behaviors you want to monitor. You can also visit any day in the past to see what you logged that day or add a missing entry.
The journal lets you select which of over 140+ behaviors you’d like to track, broken down by categories. Each day, you’ll have a personalized survey asking you questions about these behaviors. Learn more about how to use the WHOOP Journal
