Whoop for older folks

As an older person, I’ll be 64 in July I have some suggestions for Whoop support to consider.

  1. Bedtime suggestions. Today whoop wants me to go to bed at 10:45pm That is way too late for me. :joy: It also seems to be affecting my sleep consistency because I can’t follow the recommendations.

  2. Steps. Whoop suggests 10k per day. I looked this up and 18 to 55 years old it’s the recommendation. It is a lot lower at my age, maybe 6 to 7k.

  3. Consider cycling as an alternative to steps. Cycling is just low impact stepping.

  4. Sleep, I don’t know for sure but I am pretty sure I need more than 8 hours per day. Is there any recommendations of sleep for older people?

I am very active at my age, my Whoop age is 56 which I am very pleased with but my pace of aging is 1.7 and I am convinced it’s related to metrics based on a younger person, mostly my lack of steps. Based on the app in 10 years time it will be the equivalent to 17 years :astonished_face:

@Durkin Thoughts?
