Self-experimentation

Self-experimentation is when you do an experiment on yourself. It is like a science experiment, but instead of using plants, bugs, or other animals, you use yourself and your body as the subject of your experiment. For example, a self-experiment might be to track how much water you drink each day and see if it has an effect on how tired you feel. By tracking this data over time, you can see if there is a pattern or relationship between drinking water and feeling rested.
