Sleep: what moved for Phoenix members

Keep total duration, sleep stages and subjective sleep ratings separate. Compare the interventions attached to each exact measurement before choosing what to test in yourself.

How to read this

Observational research: real APOE4 carriers tracked over time, each compared with their own earlier self. Members chose their interventions, with no randomisation or placebo group. Everything else they changed is shown beside each result.
