How to actually track Epithalon side effects

Epithalon is pulsed a few times a year, so the most useful tracking is simply logging the cycle dates and any sleep / energy changes - it is easy to lose track of a twice-a-year, 10-day protocol without a record. Given the thin human-data base, noting anything unexpected is genuinely useful signal.
