Sleep is training too.
Recovery happens while you sleep. Ritual helps you get to bed on time, asks how your night went each morning, and turns the answer into part of your recovery score.
Sleep
How it works
Two moments a day. Seconds each.
A bedtime that holds
Set your target bedtime and wake time. Ritual reminds you 15 minutes before bed.
A morning check-in
Confirm or adjust your hours, then rate the night from Terrible to Great.
Into your recovery
The night you log feeds straight into today's recovery score.
The check-in
Good morning. How did you sleep?
When you first open Ritual in the morning, the check-in is waiting. Your night is already filled in from your schedule, so most mornings it is a single tap: That's right. Adjust the times if your night was different, choose how well you slept, and log it.
Ritual shows how the night changes your recovery before you even save it. Not ready? Remind me later, or skip for today.
- Hours prefilled from your schedule
- Quality: Terrible, Bad, Okay, Good or Great
- See the effect on recovery before you log
Sleep and recovery
A night that shows in the score.
A full, good night lifts your recovery score. A short or broken one pulls it down, and the morning verdict on your Recovery home tells you what that means for today's training.
Over time, your recovery history shows how your sleep and your training interact, and the Sleep balance calculator in Ritual Lab tells you whether you are owed hours or have some banked.
- Sleep feeds the recovery score
- Recovery history and trends
- Sleep balance in Ritual Lab
