CJC-1295 no DAC versus with DAC noticing any difference in sleep or water retention?

I’ve been trying both versions of CJC-1295 for a couple of months now just to see if the longer half-life changes anything I actually feel. With the no-DAC I’m doing 100 mcg right before bed and I notice I fall asleep a bit quicker and my sleep feels deeper, but I wake up a little puffy in the hands and face some mornings. Switching to the DAC version at 2 mg twice a week I don’t get that morning puffiness as much, but I also don’t feel the same sharp onset of sleepiness, it’s more like a gentle lift through the night.

I’m not sure if it’s just placebo or if the steadier GH curve changes how my body handles fluid. Has anyone else tracked water retention or sleep quality between the two forms? I’m thinking of getting a quick morning weight and maybe a simple urine specific gravity check just to see if there’s a real trend, but I’m curious what you all have seen firsthand. Let me know if you’ve noticed any other side effects like tingling or hunger shifts when you switch between them.
