Epitalon 3-month cycle log — sleep, skin, mood

Day 10 (end of dosing): Oura 7h18m avg, up from 6h55m. RHR down 3 bpm. Energy 7.2 avg vs. 6.5 baseline.

Day 30 (20 days off): still holding. 7h22m avg. Skin texture in the weekly photo looks marginally better.

The tail effect after epitalon is the point — the 10 days are just triggering something.

Day 60: sleep has drifted back toward baseline. Oura 7h04m this week. Energy holding though.

Day 85: sleep at 6h58m. Back to pre-cycle baseline. Energy still a touch better than baseline. Starting cycle 2 tomorrow.

This is what the quarterly schedule is for. You're dosing right as the tail wears off.

Starting cycle 2 now. Will update again at day 10 and day 30 of this round.

Did you establish a clean baseline before cycle 1? Like a full month of sleep/energy/skin tracking with zero peptides, just to know what your actual resting state looks like? Otherwise hard to say if cycle 2 is actually better or if you're just comparing week 10 of cycle 1 to week 10 of cycle 2, which could just be placebo or seasonal variation. The sleep creep back to 6h58 is interesting but without knowing if that's where you started it's tough to call it meaningful.
