A week with a bend in it. The first three nights all ran short of six hours, and by Tuesday morning recovery hit its lowest point of the month, with Marcus moving about a third less than usual - the kind of quiet that is not rest. Then he went dark at ten on Tuesday night, again on Wednesday, and the last two mornings of the week were back in his usual range. The data shows the turn on Thursday. The group chat shows it started with a phone call at lunch on Tuesday.

A quiet week, which is its own kind of report. Bedtimes landed within about twenty minutes of the same hour most nights, sleep held around 7h 45m, and recovery drifted gently up through the back half. Nothing needed saying, so aware said almost nothing.
