Volume 47 | Wake-Up Call
Hyperice x Nike drop recovery hyperboot and WHOOP's new exercise sleep study.


Nike x Hyperice Drop a Game-Changer
It’s called the Hyperboot, and it’s the first of its kind. Built for pre- and post-workout use, this recovery-warmup hybrid combines heat, dynamic air compression, and vibration—giving athletes faster, more effective prep and recovery in minutes. No more waiting for your legs to “wake up.” This boot is the wake-up call.
New Whoop Research On Exercise And Sleep
WHOOP just published one of the largest-ever studies on exercise and sleep in Nature Communications—analyzing 4.3 million nights of sleep from nearly 15,000 members.
The big question: Does working out at night hurt your sleep?
Here’s what they found:
Evening workouts can delay sleep onset and reduce both duration and quality.
High-strain sessions lead to elevated nighttime heart rate and reduced HRV.
But: Exercise ending 4+ hours before bed has no negative effect.
Timing matters. If you’re training hard but not sleeping well, when you work out may be as important as how.
