Biphasic: Day 2.2

Well, it gets better. It took a few hours, but I was alert and functioning at levels just below normal. I played a few games online to test my reaction times, and I seemed to be fine. The strange thing I've noticed all day is that if for even a moment I think about sleep, lie down, or do anything that is too relaxing, I immediately phase into sleep mode. Even the few seconds that I may fall into this mode bring me a more intense head pressure when awaking. Merely closing my eyes makes my head weak. But strangely, I was able to sit down and read in silence with relative ease. It is a bit odd how that works out. Though I've had some troubles every so often with sleepy thoughts, it is less the staying awake and more the getting up that is truly difficult.

I'm still hungry all the time. I've even having cravings for food. I never go to a fast food or sit down restaurant by myself, yet today I just had to go to Burger King and get a burger. A veggie burger, but still strange considering how I normally function. Hydration seems to be an important factor in lethargy, so I am constantly drinking water. I have yet to succumb and drink green tea, so that is a plus. My strength is significantly diminished, but I suppose that is to be expected. I played guitar again. Along with my body, my voice is also tired. I expect these symptoms to get better within the coming week, and I don't think that things will get much worse.
