Feature request: recognize sleep periods that were interrupted

I often have insomnia, or take trips to very different time zones. As a result, I end up sleeping, then being awake for a few hours before falling asleep again.

The problem is that Whoop interprets this as “Sleep” for a short time, then a “Nap”, gives me a very poor sleep score and then tells me that I don’t need to sleep very long the next night.

For example, today it tells me that I slept for 1:29, then napped for 6:40, with 2:53 between the two. I have a horrible sleep score because it claims I only slept for 1:29 and tells me that I should go to bed at 3:27AM and wake at 6:30 because of my long “nap”. This doesn’t make sense and is really horrible advice.

Can Whoop better handle interrupted sleep? Thanks!

Hey @samuelWeber,

Thanks for sharing this, Samuel. The example you gave about sleeping for 1:29, waking for a few hours, then having a long “nap” that gets misclassified makes total sense—it’s a realistic scenario for anyone dealing with insomnia or time zone shifts.

We appreciate the feedback and will pass it along to our product team.

I had the same thing happen, an interrupted sleep (likely due to a wine-y Christmas party) but then a resumption of sleep that showed up as a nap. Is there any way to merge these two events. I hate to throw off my sleep records!

Thank you for this. I have the same issue.

I have been having intermittent insomnia for more than 20 years. I wake up at least once almost every night. Sometimes I stay awake for a longer period and might or might not be able to sleep back a few hours later.
