Most health studies are done on men. Even women's studies give you average advice. But are you average? Biology isn't one-size-fits-all.
I treated my cycle as a 3-month research project on myself. The only subject: me. The goal: find MY patterns, not the population's.
#CycleScientist Challenge wrapped!
Super excited for all the new insights rolling in.
Missed just one day, but it's not about perfection—it's how fast you bounce back on track. #Progress over #streak.
1/ After >3 months of daily cycle + energy + sleep tracking, one pattern stands out louder than everything else:
#Sleep is the real foundation — no matter which cycle day or phase I'm in.
2/ On strong/resilient days (usually early follicular) → bad sleep drops energy from 4–5 → 3. Annoying, but I still function well.
On fragile days (late luteal/PMS especially) → poor sleep = day basically wasted. Survival mode activated.
