Thoughts on CJC-1295 no-DAC timing for sleep vs daytime GH pulse?

I’ve been experimenting with CJC-1295 (no-DAC) lately, trying to nail down the best timing for my sleep and recovery. I’ve done a couple of weeks at 100mcg right before bed and noticed I seemed to fall asleep a bit quicker and felt less groggy in the morning, but I can’t tell if that’s just the usual placebo effect from sticking to a routine. I also tried the same dose first thing in the morning on off‑days and didn’t really feel any change in energy or appetite throughout the shift.

Ngl, the water retention tingling in my fingertips showed up both times, which matches what I’ve read about the side effects. As someone who works night shifts in the ICU, I’m keen to see if there’s any solid data on whether nighttime dosing actually lines up with natural GH pulses better than a morning dose, or if it’s just splitting hairs. Has anyone tracked their sleep quality or IGF‑1 levels with a strict timing protocol? Would love to see what you’ve observed, even if it’s just your own experience.
