WHOOP, the human performance company, has uncovered fascinating data on gratitude, sex, and recovery just in time for Valentine’s Day. While the holiday is synonymous with romance, WHOOP data shows it’s actually the second most popular day globally for logging gratitude—a key factor in overall wellness. However, when it comes to sexual activity, Valentine’s Day ranks just 53rd, with New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day taking the top spots.
WHOOP empowers users to track how lifestyle choices—like intimacy, exercise, and mindfulness—impact sleep, recovery, performance and overall wellness. Notably, research shows that sexual activity boosts WHOOP recovery similarly to meditation and exercise, providing an extra reason for lovebirds to celebrate this Valentine’s Day.
