The first 5 times are just so that the battery status/charging unit can get calibrated. You'll start seeing the full battery life after those first few cycles.

After that I wouldn't necessarily discharge it once a month on purpose. In normal usage, it's best not to let it become fully discharged. Using it for a little bit and then topping off at night is better than running it all the way down on purpose. The deeper the discharge, the more it deteriorates the batteries life expectancy.
