Low‑dose Rapamycin and My Sleep Patterns: A 10‑Week Run‑Through

Posted by busy_dad in Longevity & Anti-Aging - 1 points, 0 comments.

I started injecting 4 mg of rapamycin once a week about ten weeks ago, following the pharmacy instructions that most longevity clinics give: a single dose, weekly, and usually in the evening. The first few days I had a small sore on my gum and a mild stomach ache, but those faded after the third week. The biggest surprise was the change in my sleep: I used to hit the pillow and spend 20‑30 minutes drifting into REM, but now I fall asleep in about 5‑10 minutes and wake up feeling fresher, not that I’m saying rapamycin cures insomnia, just the pattern shifts for me.

I kept a log liebe, noting lights out time, minutes to sleep, and how alert I felt at 9 am. I also noticed a subtle boost in energy during my workout sessions, no dramatic jump, just a steadier tone that keeps me on track. I’m still watching my lipids and doing quarterly check‑ups because I know the drug can raise cholesterol a bit, but overall the routine feels doable and has been a useful part of my anti‑aging experiment.
