That's really interesting, I hadn't considered that it could be used for naps! Have you noticed it "confusing" your circadian rhythm at all? As in, do you need to take extra care to not get your rhythm out of whack when you use it during daytime daytime? Intuitively, that would be the biggest potential downside I can see.
Also, I'm honestly a bit jealous that you have 300mcg tablets; the best I could find is 1mg in a capsule and to split that I have to do volumetric dosing. But at least it's not the insane amounts you exclusively find in American pharmacies, heh.
- themodelplumber 6y agoI haven't noticed any negative effects on my ultradian rhythms, but I do use the rhythmic effect to help me fall asleep or get some rest. For example, if I feel like I'm bottoming out on a given cycle, I'll exaggerate my de-energizing response in order to bring the right momentum into the adjustment to the energy change. I might gently slump over in my chair, open my mouth, breathe deeply, and meditate for a few seconds before calmly deciding what to do--a bit of an overreact to help me model and effect the mental transition. The opposite helps when I'm headed energy-upward on such a cycle. In any case, if I'm feeling off (relative to the rhythm) I tend to set ultradian-style timers, e.g. building on the strengths of a 90-minute cycle effect by delaying important plans or decisions for 15 minutes to see if cycle position helps. I hear you on the dosage. In case it helps, the brand I use are "Sundown" and the tablets are really inexpensive.
