I’d like WHOOP to add a sleep-stage-aware smart wake alarm.
Specifically, I want to set a wake window, for example, 7:00-8:00 AM, and have WHOOP trigger the haptic alarm at the point in that window when I’m in the lightest sleep or otherwise easiest to wake, using the sleep data WHOOP already collects.
Example: if I’m in deeper sleep from 7:00 to 7:45, but enter lighter sleep at 7:45, the alarm should go off then. If no lighter-sleep opportunity is found, it should go off at 8:00 AM.
Other sleep apps already use this kind of wake-window behavior, and it would make WHOOP’s alarm feel much more recovery-focused and useful than a fixed wake time alone.
This feature request was already acknowledged by your team and passed to the product team back in July of 2025.
I just bought the most expensive whoop plan and device and cannot believe it does not have this essential function that apps like Sleep Cycle have had for more than a decade. The current sleep need and recovery in green options are not useful at all if someone wants to optimize waking up at the natural lightest sleep phase.
I really hope Whoop is not one of those companies that just says “we’ll pass the info to the product team,” and never update customers on what the decision was.
Please provide the product team’s decision on this feature request, or the date when the decision will be made.
Have there been any updates on this? We’re entering August, and I haven’t seen any developments. It looks like this feature was requested more than a year ago. Do we know if it’s at least in the works?
I don’t recall the exact steps but I chatted a year ago with the Whoop Coach and it gave me the reasoning that there’s no evidence that on the long-run sleep-stage-aware smart alarms benefit you more than consistent wake times.
