Whoop is a high-tech fitness wearable that's meant to be worn all the time to keep tabs on everything from one's heart rate to sleep, ultimately with the purpose of helping people reach their highest potential—and for the month of October, the tech startup is inviting people to participate in a Sober October challenge. With this challenge, Whoop users will be able to see the role that alcohol has on everything from their sleep and exercise to recovery times.
Joe Rogan and a few comedian friends are participating in Sober October and are generating a conversation around the analytics that are being collected and shared online. While elite athletes may already be in the habit of recognizing how certain lifestyle habits affect their peak performance, this challenge promises to help the average person see how they can make improvements in their daily life as well.
