My first week on pulsed rapamycin – sleep, energy and skin changes

I started a low‑dose pulsed rapamycin regimen last month, aiming to mimic the cellular benefits seen in animal studies. The protocol I’m following is 4 mg once a week, taken on a full stomach to reduce GI upset, and I’ve been tracking nata markers like blood lipid panels and my sleep quality with a wearable. Within the first week I noticed a subtle lift in energy during the afternoons; I was still feeling a bit sluggish at the end of the day but less so than before the dose.

My sleep latency dropped – I’m falling asleep about 10 minutes faster, elke night, and the smartwatch shows a 15‑percent increase in deep sleep stages. Skin-wise, my cheeks look a little less dull, and I’ve stopped noticing the post‑workout redness that used to pop up after a hard cycling session. No serious side effects so far, just a mild sore spot where I injected the pill, which faded after a day. I’m curious JSONObject: what do others see for immune markers or hair changes when on a weekly rapamycin pulse?
