Thanks, this is super helpful :) I'm going to do the one-time calibration with our usual bottle so I know the exact time on low, and I'll remember to swirl between short cycles.

Set one wake time and treat it like a server uptime check. Morning sunlight is your reboot, caffeine after lunch is your outage. Do that for a week, add a tiny melatonin dose if you need it, and stop napping like a crashed process.
