#sleep

A Hooga ULTRA1500 panel, roughly eight minutes a side at four to six inches, after training rather than before. Post-workout timing is the better-supported half of the evidence.

Twenty to thirty minutes of pulsed electromagnetic field at 7.83 Hz before bed. I keep this one clearly labeled: the specific frequency framing is more folk science than clinical literature.

An amethyst crystal heating pad at around 120°F in the evening sequence. The heat is doing the work; the stones are the part I'd be careful claiming anything about.

Magnesium glycinate, three grams of standalone glycine, and vitamin C at 9:30 PM for a 10:15 sleep onset. The glycine being separate is the detail that matters.

Thirty ounces about ninety minutes out. The timing is the whole protocol — earlier and it is absorbed, later and it wakes you at 2 AM.

Most of the house runs on incandescent for circadian reasons. The few LEDs left are daytime-only — the point is what the light does to the evening, not what it costs to run.

My daily Whoop numbers — day strain, recovery, sleep, resting heart rate, and HRV — logged by hand so the training load and recovery behind the rest of these protocols is out in the open.

The gentle, well-absorbed magnesium for pregnancy's constipation, leg cramps, and restless sleep, without the laxative hit of cheaper forms.

The little device that showed me my bedroom air was wrecking my sleep. Now I won't sleep without checking it.

I used to wake up feeling like I’d been hit by a truck.
