Shannon's UMS Journal

[Shannon]

The 29th was interesting. The night before, I listened to another loop of UMS, making that 2 days in a row for 1 loop. I got it in my head that I wanted to do 3:7, but two days of 1 loop was too much: I ended up so exhausted I was forced to sleep most of the day, and gf was definitely not handling it well either. It seems to make us both irritable when we overdose. So much for 3:7! I'm about to go to bed "the next day" and we will be doing 0 loops tonight.

The exhaustion this creates is odd. I'm familiar with the mental exhaustion of overdosing on subs, but this one creates a combination of emotional overload and a physical exhaustion I haven't encountered before; it's literally hard to move when I get it. In order to stay productive, I have to stick to 1 loop on one day and then take a break. So that part is verified now, and now I need to nail down the optimal number of days off. Models seem to be indicating that right now, optimal for me is 5 days off. I have been having a very hard time getting the models to stabilize recently, so I will take note of that and re-run the models again later a few times to verify when I have had more rest and have more stability and higher confidence ratings.
