Best Time to Inject GLP-1 Peptides¶

Many people ask: Should I inject in the morning or at night? What time is best?

The honest answer: The best time is the time you can do it consistently every week. The exact time matters much less than staying on schedule.

✅ How to Choose Your Time¶

• GLP-1 peptides like semaglutide and tirzepatide are injected once per week
• Pick a day and time that fits your routine (example: every Sunday morning at 8am)
• Write it on your calendar so you don't forget
• Try to keep the same day and time every week for best results
• It's fine to inject with or without food → both work equally well

🌙 Morning or Night? Here's What Matters¶

Morning Injection:

• You can watch for side effects during the day
• You'll know right away if something feels wrong
• Easier to remember because you're already awake

Night Injection:

• Some people sleep through the nausea or discomfort
• Less disruption to your daytime routine
• You can rest after the injection

The truth: Both work equally well. Choose what makes you most comfortable and most likely to remember.

⚠️ When to Skip Your Injection¶

• You're very sick or vomiting → wait until you feel better
• You're severely dehydrated → stay hydrated first
• Your doctor told you to pause → always follow their advice
• You missed a week? → Just take your next dose on schedule. Do NOT double the dose to "catch up."

🔍 Final Note¶

Consistency beats perfection. It's better to inject every Sunday at 9pm than to stress about whether 8am or 9pm is "better." Find your rhythm and stick to it.
