Why it matters

When you suddenly feel good after a long period of feeling bad, that contrast is one of the most important signals your body can give you. Something was different today — or yesterday, or in the past few days — and that difference is the key to understanding what's been making you feel bad. The problem is that in the moment, you often can't identify what changed. Normal has been tracking your patterns the whole time and can tell you exactly what was different.

When Normal helps

Normal compares your good days to your bad days over time and finds what's consistently different about each. When you have a sudden good day after a difficult period, Normal can tell you what changed in the preceding 24 to 48 hours to explain it.

How Normal finds it

Tell Normal how you feel every day. When a good day arrives, Normal has the data context to tell you what was different. Most people find the cause is something simpler than they expected — a sleep quality change, a food they avoided, a habit they kept or broke.
