In this instructional video, Dallas Bragg, a chemsex recovery coach, explains how wearable devices such as Whoop or Apple Watch can serve as practical early‑warning tools for an upcoming chemsex relapse. He emphasizes that a decline in sleep score or disrupted sleep is the most reliable sign that the body is entering a relapse trajectory, often occurring several days before any conscious craving. Blood pressure and other vitals are mentioned as additional, though secondary, indicators. Bragg advises viewers to treat any night of poor sleep as a trigger to activate safeguards: inform their recovery team, avoid isolation, and ensure support from therapists or coaches. He notes that tracking these metrics consistently reveals a repeatable pattern linking sleep disruption to relapse events. Finally, he invites interested individuals to join a 12‑week, 10‑man group coaching program that meets twice weekly, offering a structured environment for applying these monitoring strategies.
