The Tale of The Tape (V): "The Hunger"
I finished up my annual 12 day fast ~4 weeks ago. I fast once/year mostly as a mental exercise and to observe how my mind works under (self-inflicted) duress.

I also got my thyroid checked. Around 2007, I noticed that I started needing less and less sleep and my appetite has been slowly increasing. I also noticed other physiological changes, such as dry eyes and dry earwax ( Read more... ) -
