Is the Dawn Ecdysis Protocol Actually All It's Cracked Up to Be?

Fellow initiates, I've kept my streak of pre-dawn molt sessions unbroken for 61 days now, logging chitin density and shell flexibility metrics every morning without fail. But lately I wonder if the Dawn Ecdysis Protocol gets more reverence than results—my biometric readings look nearly identical to my old midday shedding schedule, just with more grogginess and colder trench water. Has anyone actually compared long-term data between dawn and dusk ecdysis cycles, or are we all just clinging to tradition because it feels disciplined? I'd genuinely love to hear from anyone running a competing method with solid numbers to back it up. Challenge the practice, not the practitioners—my streak stays either way, but my schedule might not.
