ASC: Day 20
Average listening time since day 10:
10-12 hours during the day (trickling stream on earbuds)
6-8 hours during the night (ultrasonic on speaker)
Not much to report.
Physical: I still experience carb cravings greater than what is typical for me. Perhaps an uptick of 5-10% of my caloric intake in the form of carbohydrates. I have found a good way to combat this is increased fiber. "Dave's Killer Bread" (which I buy at Costco) helps keep me full so I don't overdo it (gotta stay on track with the macros).
Sleep: I am not as tired as I was the first 10 days. Perhaps my mind/body is growing accustomed to the load.
Emotions/outlook: The anger I reported before (arguments with loved ones in absentia) is no longer there (one instance in the last 10 days). Now I am more calm. It's almost like a feeling of having let go of the petty stuff.
I am looking at the world through amused and unperturbed eyes.
Additional side-effects: I have noticed (or perceived) a slight improvement in my wife's demeanor. It's too small to describe, except to say she seems less stressed overall (remember, she gets exposed to the ultrasonic track during the night).
