WHOOP recovery explained: read it next to HRV and sleep

Updated September 5, 2026

Recovery is one signal. Read it next to HRV in milliseconds, resting heart rate and sleep, each with its date, before you change training or food.

Start with the information you have

Inspect the latest recovery observation and recent baseline when enough readings exist. HRV uses actual measurements in milliseconds. Sleep duration uses available asleep information. Missing fields receive an explanation instead of a fabricated number.

Put the plan to use

Today’s Focus turns available context into practical app actions, and What your data shows explains each reading against your own recent average. Neither diagnoses illness or changes the saved calorie target based on recovery color. Notifications follow your category preferences and shared frequency limits.
