Dr. Stacy Sims on Training & Sleeping Based on Your Cycle

Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle produce highly individual physiological responses that affect training and sleep needs. Female physiology expert Dr. Stacy Sims, in addition to Laura Ware and Emily Capodilupo, studied a large population of female athletes to understand how their hormonal changes impacted their recovery metrics including HRV, RHR, respiratory rate, and sleep duration - and Dr. Stacy Sims covers some of that research in her discussion with WHOOP.
Dr. Stacy Sims discusses the phases of the menstrual cycle and how that factors into how you might train or sleep. Additionally, Dr. Sims discusses many of the common misconceptions around training on your period.
