Server down and Cancelation of lab Experiment 1

Yesterday the proxy sever for the internet at my hostel was down...again. Man, they should replace that old server. I suspect it hangs very ofter. That might be caused by many possibilities. maybe they should just change the server to new one, with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. I wanted to call my mom as its mothers day today, now can´t aledi.

I decided to cancel the Lab Experiment 1 (the fasting experiment) due to some unforseen side effects that has nothing to do with hunger :

1) Sahur finishes at 3.30am, so as a logic person, i should sleep early in order to wake up early to eat sahur. But i cant really sleep early because i have to wait for Isyak that starts at around 11pm. Now, i dont have a problem waking up at 3am to have sahur, and wait 30min for subuh. but the effects will be felt the next morning.

I noticed during the fasting, i think because of the early morning session of sahur, i tend to feel very sleepy at work and since i cant drink coffee, theres not much hope to stop the sleepiness. Sometimes i find myself litterely passing out in front of the computer:P i do take some walks around the office to loose the sleepyness, but it just comes back.

2) I think im still not used to the cold, windy, rainy weather that has been occuring lately. When i feel cold i loose the urge to drink water and before i know it, i will be feeling dizzy i guess a side effect from dehydration. Its quite dangerous since im not aware its happening untill i fell the effects.

so as before :

Hypothesis 0 : Subject fasts a whole workday without much problem.
Hypothesis 1 : Subject fasts half way and cannot stand it , thus breaking fast.

Both hypothesis 0 is rejected because subject fast a whole workday, but with problems, and since he did not break fast, hypothesis 1 is also rejected.

Conclusion : get used to the weather first then only try to fast in a foreign country.

However, im going to start another lab experiment soon... stay tuned...
