What does it mean to hit 100%… and how does WHOOP figure that number out?

100% of your Sleep Need is calculated by combining these factors:

  • Baseline Sleep Need: The base amount of sleep your body typically requires, based on your physiology.
  • Strain: The physical and mental load on your body. Higher strain increases your sleep need.
  • Sleep Debt: Any sleep missed in recent days is added to your sleep need to help you recover.
  • Naps: Any naps you take reduce your overnight sleep need.

This ensures your body gets the rest it needs to recover and perform at its best.
