I did 3 days dry before. That was brutal. 5 days is so long. You have a strong will.
Not at all, it gets easier the next time
That's a great reminder. I do think that is true. My first water fast was the hardest for sure. I only did one dry fast.
Dry fasting felt incredibly powerful to me though. It was a spiritual experience.
I usually have the most vivid dreams when dry fasting. Very intense!!
I love vivid dreaming. All this talk is making want to start a fast.
On a related note, I find myself dreaming more often, and sometimes vividly, now that I've started going early to bed (10 - 10:30pm). I'm planning to start taking Magnesium daily, to see how it affects my sleep and dreams.
I have heard that is great for sleep. I have been going to bed super early lately. By 8 or so usually. And getting up before the sun rise. It feels like my dreams always come early In the am, after going back to sleep at like 2 or 3 am. Most of my life I went to sleep around 10 or 11. It's interesting that you see that as early.
The last year, I used to work until veeeery late on my side project, sometimes until 3 or 4am, then had to wake up at 7:30 to get my son ready for school, and start working.
I crashed by the end of the year, and got very ill. I've learned my lessons.
Yeah. That sounds rough. I am not a night person and I feel like I usually need 7 hours sleep minimum to feel good. It's interesting how many people seem to do well with less.
Believe me, nobody does.
I feel like a different person, like the real me now. Also, sleeping enough made me heal so much faster!!!
You have to listen to your body. Everybody is different.
I'm now experimenting with dry fasting, that is no food and... no water. I recently did five days. I started with two, then three, then four. Maybe next time I'll do a week... we'll see
