I always thought optimizing mitochondria was just about taking PQQ or CoQ10. That is, until I read the UPenn research published in Nature Neuroscience: sleep is the critical window that regulates mitochondrial metabolism and initiates mitophagy to clear out damaged organelles.

I ran a 7-day n=1 experiment using a complex designed to target both the GABAergic pathway and mitochondrial repair (a 12-in-1 Magnesium complex, Ashwagandha, and NAD+).

Unexpected Observations:

• Noticeable boost in daytime energy, despite only getting 6 hours of sleep a night.
• Noticed a reversal in oxidative stress markers (the grey hairs around my temples are actually thinning out).
• Hormonal baseline (morning vitality) feels like it's back to where it was in my 20s.

Is this strictly the mitophagy at work, or a broader hormonal reset?
