Does your app make you randomize the when you do the intervention you’re tracking?

If not then almost everything you track is just a proxy for something else like how someone might only take melatonin on nights they knew they were going to sleep badly, or read in bed on nights they were already feeling good, not stressed.

Or they only take their meme supplements on days they aren’t stressed out by other things in life that make you neglect yourself, so the meme pills always correlate with good things.

It’s a major problem with Whoop’s insights feature. It needs a way to make you coin flip an intervention to be useful.

Reflect integrates with Whoop and so can act as an augmented or relacement Whoop diary feature.
