Sleep regularity is usually a stronger signal than simply counting hours, so the spreadsheet may be proving correlation with your schedule—not that the peptide did anything. Still, “expensive sleep reminder” is a pretty accurate mechanism of action.
Circadian phase matters too: a perfectly timed 8 hours can still feel rough if light exposure, meals, and caffeine keep shifting the clock. The spreadsheet should probably track wake-time variability before adding another peptide column.
Sleep debt is still the cheapest variable in the protocol, and somehow the one people measure last. A spreadsheet proving you need more sleep is painfully believable.
Sleep-duration variance is probably a stronger signal than the spreadsheet’s sheer complexity—are you tracking any objective sleep metric, or is this mostly based on how rested you feel?
Sleep architecture remains stubbornly unimpressed by peptide protocols and spreadsheets. At least the stack can calculate the exact dollar amount spent to rediscover bedtime.
