How I timed Ipamorelin with my sleep cycle and what I noticed

I started a low‑dose Ipamorelin protocol a few months back after reading about its short half‑life and the idea that a bedtime injection might sync the GH pulse with deep sleep. I was doing 200 mcg subcutaneously about 30 minutes before I usually go to bed (around 11 pm). For the first week I tracked my sleep with a simple app and also noted how sore I felt after leg day.

By week two I felt a subtle difference – my sleep stages seemed a bit more consolidated, I woke up feeling less “crunchy” and my recovery soreness was marginally lower, especially on heavy squats. I can’t rule out a placebo effect or improved sleep hygiene (I stopped scrolling phone late), but the timing felt logical to me. I keep the dose steady and only cycle 8‑weeks on, 4‑weeks off to see if any tolerance builds. Anyone else tried a similar bedtime schedule?
