At what point did performance turn into fatigue?
Yeah, HRV tanked hard sleep got choppy after a few weeks on RAW.
Sleep went to trash cortisol felt high even off-cycle.
Tracked HRV on Whoop straight downhill once stims stacked up.
RAW hits hard but fries recovery deep sleep took the biggest L.
Cortisol def felt elevated wired but tired all day.
HRV stayed low even on rest days that was my red flag.
Night sweats + light sleep classic stim overload vibes.
Had to deload stims to normalize HRV no way around it.
Short-term hype, long-term fatigue sleep data didnβt lie.
RAWβs fine occasionally daily use wrecked my metrics.
