Day 518. Dosed mCobalamin before bed. Effects were as expected. Awake roughly 6.3 hours after laying down. Dosed water, returned to bed. Target is always 10 hours. Spent some time reviewing risks and operational efficiencies.
- Anecdotally I have soft/pliable circulatory tissue, so maybe I am more susceptible to stroke or aneurysm - bookmarking to check another day, but nothing I can do about that now.
- Cognitive throughput. I can't learn quickly, if my memory is not performant. Verbal information in the audible-visible modalities doesn't process well if kinesthetic information from the musculoskeletal system, which the brain is wired to treat with higher priority, is contemplated with urgency. The balance of pain and pleasure, on a muscle-by-muscle basis is ideal, but most of us treat it abstractly, and some of us treat it with total abstraction, simply saying that we do not feel well, or that we feel fine. That is generally bad, and so I spend some time drilling into subsystems while being in bed. Some stretching helps to relieve subsystem pain, from tightness of unantagonised contraction. Antagonism is the restoration of balance. As subliminal pain is reduced, it is cleared automatically from memory, and automatically also it the speed of audio-video processing increases. I notice more patterns in my visual field as the imagination traces gestalten over the raw set. Etc.
Maintenance is key. I need to get better at cognitive maintenance. Now it is only 7.9 hours after laying down. But I am alert enough to begin feeding again, and hopefully it will be a productive day. Sleep was roughly from 0330 to 0930, hydration and semi-conscious reflection until 1030, followed by reading and writing until 1130. mCobalamin was expected to interact with the melatonin system, and increase alertness under conditions of daylight. Daytime calorific intake before sleep was about 2 kCal, with macros balanced across unsaturated fat, 2x protein RDA, and starches.
