There are times when life sucks a little more than usually

When I sleep less than 4 hours, I feel definitely pukey in the morning. I wonder why that is.

Oh, Monday morning. How I hate you.

Also, ignazwisdom, have fun on your vacation!! :)

Oh Noes... poor you!

But I too hate monday mornings... And your fic swirled in my mind half the night and the other half I spent wondering about Philosphy and now I'm terribly motivated... :-/

But if you're a HP fan, there's the weekend to look forward to! *YAYs* :-)

I should totally not get that book before my biochem exam. I will, I know, but I SHOULDN'T! ;P

hehe, I know that feeling.
I told myself that if I fail that exam tomorrow that I would NOT get HP for another month. It kinda worked. I managed to get most of the stuff into my brain over the last two days. And I still got today. So HP I'm coming!!!! (I hope) :-)
But I know I'll get him anyway. I'm just sooooo bad at waiting.

I feel pukey if I don't sleep, if I don't eat, if I'm in pain (unless it's something minor like a stubbed toe), if I'm in any way physically uncomfortable. It's strong enough that on a morning when I've gotten very little sleep and my blood sugar is running low, I'll be gagging violently.

That reaction seems to run in my [mother's] family; we don't know why, but it's common to us. No one in my dad's family has mentioned it, so I don't know how universal that might be.

But I'd sure be curious to know what that reaction is, or why we get it.

I should probably be able to give a long-winded explanation about acidosis, alcalosis, hydrochlorid acid and how not sleeping/physical discomfort influences the biochemical balance, but I'm not. This shows how much this semester of biochem taught me *gg*.

I'm sure the pukeyness has something to do with gastric acid being deprotonated. Or maybe too much acid is being produced and it begins eating away at the protective buffer system. As to why, though? No idea... :P.
