First week back on NMN, sleep feels a bit different

I started NMN again this week, 500 mg in the morning, mostly because my energy felt flat after a long stretch of hard training and bad sleep. For me the first thing I noticed was not some dramatic boost, just a slightly cleaner morning wake-up and less of that heavy fog before coffee. Could be placebo, honestly, but it felt real enough that I kept logging it.

What I am watching more closely is sleep and recovery. If I take anything that touches NAD+ too late, I feel a bit too switched on at night, so morning seems safer for me. I also want to see if my skin and general training soreness change over a few weeks, because those are the little things that usually tell me more than one good day.

I have read the basic idea that NMN raises NAD+ and may support mitochondrial energy and DNA repair. That sounds nice, but my actual question is how people here judge whether it is doing anything useful beyond the first week buzz. Do you look at sleep, resting heart rate, energy, or just keep it simple and cycle it? 😎
