Feature Request – Treat Long Night Awakenings as One Sleep, Not Sleep + Nap

Hi WHOOP team,

I’d love better support for long awakenings during the night (e.g., baby care).

This is my personal example:

  • In bed ~22:00
  • Awake 00:14–03:09 (my kid is in a lovely 4-month sleep regression)
  • Back asleep until ~08:00

Right now WHOOP splits this into a “Sleep” and a “Nap,” instead of one sleep with a long wake period.

This:

  • Misrepresents my actual night (looks like two sleeps instead of one fragmented one).
  • Skews Sleep Performance, Sleep Consistency, and Sleep Planner coaching, as it is only based on the “sleep” block and not the nap.
  • Is very common for young parents, etc.

Feature ideas:

  1. Let us edit a sleep to include a long wake block inside one session.
  2. Or allow us to merge a later “nap” back into the main sleep as one night with a wake gap.

This would make WHOOP much more accurate and helpful for anyone with clear fragmented nights with clear wake blocks.

Thanks for considering it,

Erik
