Respiratory Rate During Sleep (Wearable)
Respiratory rate during sleep on wearables flags baseline elevation from illness or breathing stress—use personal trends, not population averages.
Respiratory rate during sleep on wearables counts breaths per minute from wrist or ring PPG—WHOOP and Oura include it in recovery inputs; sustained elevation above your baseline can hint at illness, altitude, or breathing disruption before cough appears. Single-night spikes from alcohol or fever are common.
Compare to personal norms, not textbook twelve breaths for everyone.

-
What respiratory rate during sleep is concerning?
Sustained elevation above your personal baseline for several nights—with fatigue or SpO₂ dips—warrants rest and clinician input if symptoms persist. One night after drinking is usually noise.
