Ever since I started intermittent fasting, I wake up every single hour throughout the night. I don't feel sleep deprived during the day, but I'm not energetic enough.

I looked up the reason last night and a "doctor" on YouTube said that you lose salt when fasting. That's why your brain releases stress hormones and you can't fall asleep.

So, today, I tried to get some sun and be more active. I cleaned up the house and made some soup, which suprisingly was delicious. I also washed the dishes three times. I got tired, to be honest. But I didn't drink coffee at all. I had some warm milk. Now, I'm sleepy and it's 12:43 am.

I studied Japanese and also watched this Japanese-looking guy, Hiro, who was speaking German. The funny thing is my German listening comprehension isn't that good, but because Japanese is new to my ears, I had to pretend that I understand German. It wasn't a bad experience because I practiced some active listening.

I also have to track my bed time, wakeup time, and everything about my sleep.

I never thought sleeping would become an issue some day. I've even written about it many times. Why the heck would I be writing about this publicly?! Maybe to remind people to not take good sleep for granted.

What else did I do? I cried for strangers on the internet. Why is there so much homelessness, poverty and illness in the world?

One other thing I need to do for better sleep is to write about three good things that happened today and why I'm grateful for them. I'm so sleepy now that I can't type them. I'll think about them. I'll edit this tomorrow.
