Turn “maybe” into a better question.
Every pattern starts with a pair of signals, a time window, credible alternative explanations, and an explicit evidence boundary.

A pattern card is a question template, not a result. It defines what would be compared, the minimum useful context, and the explanations that must remain open.

- Start after 10–14 overlapping days; longer is often more useful.
- Likely confounders
- Illness, work stress, alcohol, travel, medication, and unusual events.

SleepExternal published research
- Question
- When sleep and wake timing were more consistent, did next-day energy differ?
- Signals
- Bed/wake timing plus next-day energy.
- Starting window
- Several weeks are preferable because regularity is a repeated schedule property.
- Likely confounders
- Shift work, weekends, travel, childcare, illness, and device non-wear.

SleepHealthMaxxing methodology
- Question
- Did earlier or later recorded bedtimes coincide with different morning readiness?
- Signals
- Bedtime plus a consistent morning self-rating.
- Starting window
- At least two weeks spanning normal schedule variation.
- Likely confounders
- Total sleep, wake time, alarms, light exposure, and prior-day exertion.
- Evidence boundary
- HealthMaxxing methodology; no causal product claim.

FoodHealthMaxxing methodology
- Question
- Did the timing of a logged meal coincide with a different later energy rating?
- Signals
- Meal timestamp plus a defined later energy check-in.
- Starting window
- Two or more weeks with comparable meal types and timing coverage.
- Likely confounders
- Meal composition, sleep, caffeine, activity, stress, and skipped logs.

- Starting window
- At least two weeks, with attention to logging completeness.
- Likely confounders
- Heat, exercise, illness, sleep, caffeine, diet, and medical conditions.

MovementHealthMaxxing methodology
- Question
- Did the timing of recorded activity coincide with sleep timing or quality that night?
- Signals

ContextHealthMaxxing methodology
- Question
- Did days with recorded outdoor time coincide with a different mood rating?
- Signals
- Outdoor-time entry plus a consistent same-day mood rating.
- Starting window
- Two to four weeks across ordinary weather and schedules.

MindHealthMaxxing methodology
- Question
- Was a brief breathing practice followed by a different calm rating?
- Signals
- Practice completion plus a consistently timed self-report.
- Starting window
- Multiple comparable sessions; avoid judging from one attempt.
- Likely confounders
- Starting distress, environment, expectancy, concurrent support, and timing.

MindHealthMaxxing methodology
- Question
- Did completed journal check-ins coincide with a different clarity rating?
- Signals
- Journal completion plus a simple, consistently defined clarity rating.
- Starting window
- Two or more weeks with both journal and non-journal days.

ContextHealthMaxxing methodology
- Question
- Did days marked with higher stress coincide with different cravings or mood?
- Signals

- Several weeks because high-stress days may be uncommon.
- Likely confounders
- Sleep, meals, illness, menstrual cycle, work events, and recall timing.
- Evidence boundary
- A prompt to notice context, never a diagnosis or explanation of symptoms.
