vivid dreams and mild headaches after starting pqq – any tips?

ngl i’ve been on pqq for about two weeks now, 15 mg each morning with breakfast. the idea was to boost mitochondrial turnover and maybe help my sleep, since i’ve been feeling a bit foggy after long coding sessions.

the first three days i got these really vivid, almost cinematic dreams – colours were brighter and the storylines felt like a mini‑movie. i woke up feeling refreshed, but by day four i started getting a dull headache around midday, kind of like a pressure thing that eased after a coffee. i’ve never had headaches from any other supplements.

i read that pqq can cause mild headaches initially and vivid dreams, but i’m wondering if timing the dose earlier (maybe with lunch) or splitting it might help. also, anyone notice if these side effects tend to fade after a longer run? cheers for any advice or similar experiences.
