Stage 2, Day 1
The switch to Stage 2 was somewhat jarring. Within 20 minutes of beginning my first loop, my body heated up and I had to kick my covers off of me. It was bad enough that i began to wonder if my air conditioning was messed up. Even then, I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up midway through my fourth loop with my heart racing and my body heat on par with what I described above. Body heat gradually reduced over the last two loops but was still above baseline. There was no going back to sleep. I was having the kind of gastrointestinal issues that accompany tremendous emotional stress and I was dealing with alternating bouts of worry and anger. I kept watching the clock and couldn't wait for my loops to end. Finally, they're finished and I feel like I might actually be able to go back to sleep. The gastrointestinal issues, worry, and anger are gone. Body heat is still at the level above baseline that I mentioned above
My fist night of Stage 1 wasn't all that great either. I'm pretty sure this will smooth out quickly.
