Seeing your biometric data in Clue can give you a deeper understanding and more complete view of your cycle.
You’ll be able to identify how your sleep and temperature change in different phases of your cycle. This can help you make correlations between things like:
Temperature trends and ovulation
Many wearables measure skin temperature while you sleep. This isn’t the same as basal body temperature (BBT), which is measured with a thermometer right after waking up. Here are some helpful things to know:
- BBT reflects subtle hormonal changes. For example, it’s slightly lower in the first half of the cycle (follicular phase), then rises after ovulation and stays higher throughout the second half of your cycle (luteal phase).
- Some wearables can show similar up-and-down patterns in skin temperature. These patterns can give you clues about where you are in your cycle.
- Not all wearables measure temperature the same way. For details about how your device works, check the information from the manufacturer.
- These patterns are only visible if you’re having natural ovulatory cycles. If you’re using hormonal birth control, ovulation is typically suppressed, so you won’t see the same temperature shifts.
Sleep and energy levels
Hormones that shift across your cycle can affect how well you sleep and how much energy you feel you have. By linking sleep data from your wearable with cycle tracking in Clue, you may notice patterns in how rested or energized you feel in different phases of your cycle.
This awareness can help you tailor your daily activities, like planning workouts for days when your energy is higher, allowing more recovery when your sleep has been disrupted, or adjusting your schedule to better support your well-being.
Sleep and moods
Sleep is closely tied to mental well-being. Poor sleep can make mood changes feel stronger, while good sleep can help balance them out. Seeing your sleep patterns alongside mood tracking in Clue can help you explore how these factors interact in your own cycle.
This can give you a clearer picture of whether your mood shifts are more connected to cycle phases, sleep duration, or both. With that awareness, you might choose to prioritize rest on days when you anticipate more emotional sensitivity, build in calming routines, or be kinder to yourself when you notice patterns emerging.
