It turns out that to wake up smart, it helps to have a THYROID [gross understatement].

Mental stamina and in particular waking clarity have been much improved with even the initial ("non-optimized") dose of Synthroid plus bedtime DHA (brain food).

It also turns out that waking up smart correlates with getting not just enough sleep but enough of the right kind, and that physical energy correlates as well-- duh! :~)

This AM's dose of Synthroid was the first increase towards optimazation. It feels like circling above Planet Normal, from a soonish safe landing.
