Timeline related to my experiments

Nov. 2014
I start off a supplementation program (from 3 main sources: Heartfixer, Amy Yasko and Ben Lynch, and supposed to somehow counterbalance some of my genetics mutations) in order to target a potential impairment of my methylation cycle.

Jul. 2014
I implement the FAILSAFE diet from Sue Dengate (a diet designed to be free of additives, low in salicylates, amines and flavour enhancers) for almost a month, without significant improvement on my sleep though.

Mar. 2014
Since I suspect that my issues might be related to poor stress management as well, I start reading about psychology, start off a behavioral therapy, and put on place tools to reduce anxiety on a daily basis.

Jan. 2014
Since inflammation triggered by toxins/preservatives/additives can impair sleep, I try out a water fasting for 6 days and notice significant improvement on my sleep during this experiment. I start investigating on diets.

Oct. 2013
I conduct a sleep analysis with a device borrowed from a sleep center. The results showed that I do not suffer from breathing disorders (Obstructive Sleep Apneas or Upper Airways Resistance Syndrome).

Jun. 2013
First upload of this website.

Dec. 2012
I become more and more interested by the Quantified Self movement (check out also the QS website), and by the perspectives offered by self-monitoring and daily data analyzing and coupling. I put on place a first personal data gathering process.

Sept. 2012
I discover and buy a Zeo Sleep Manager.

Early 2012
I buy my first smart phone and discover the application SleepCycle. Even if the latter does not really provide any relevant and accurate information about your sleep quality per se, I start to realize the importance of data tracking on a daily basis, and on the information it provides on the long run.

Mid 2000's
I begin to be aware that something is maybe going wrong with my sleep, and realize that the daytime sleepiness I was struggling with was not "normal". I contact sleep experts and try to perform a formal sleep analysis (PSG - polysomnography), but drop the idea, among other reasons because it was a bit complicated to go through such a process.

Mid 90's
My first concrete memories of struggle with daytime sleepiness and cognitive impairment goes back to 1995.
