Surviving a stressful 50-hour week only to be hit by a debilitating attack on Saturday morning — this is the Let-Down Effect.
During stress, your body runs in fight-or-flight mode with high cortisol. When you relax, cortisol crashes. This sudden drop triggers blood vessel dilation in the brain, leading to inflammation. Maintaining a consistent wake-up time on weekends helps keep your circadian rhythm stable and prevents the crash.
The Relief app correlates your attacks with weather, sleep, food, and more — automatically.
