Women often describe hot flashes as random until they start logging them. The first improvement is sometimes not fewer episodes. It is the discovery that the randomness has a rhythm: after wine, before a period, during work stress, in the same hour of the night.

Of 40 women in this cohort, 100% mentioned hot flashes. This figure comes from approved logs in the current Narrated corpus, including seed corpus entries during launch density.

In the logs, the most useful entries are plain. Time of day. Sleep impact. What was tried. Whether the episode changed. There is very little performance in them, which is why they are useful.

For some women, tracking became the bridge into a doctor conversation. For others, it clarified that heat was not the main issue; it was the sleep disruption after the heat.
