Oh, yeah. About halfway through is when I really started to feel it. And halfway is very subjective, right? I had no sense of time. I had no access to clocks. But about halfway through, yeah, during the day, I could feel my temperature rise and fall in seemingly unnatural ways. Middle of the day, I'd be kind of hot and sweaty. And then I'd get cold. I'd feel... kind of this brain fog.

At certain times, I found myself really clumsy. While I was down there, I was teaching myself to juggle and play harmonica. And in this particular day, about I think day seven or eight, I was just dropping everything and super uncoordinated. And then, yeah, feeling hungry and tired at all hours of the day. So it was pretty clear based on how I felt that my clocks weren't quite ticking right.

Yeah, yeah, right. I was, well, kind of proud of myself looking at the data. Like, about a day in, I was consistently making guesses of the time into a voice recorder, which I could then check back later with the actual time. And a day or so in, I was really close. I was living about 24-hour days. But over time, that drift accumulated and jumped a bit.

So it was a couple of days before the end of the experiment when the data showed that I had completely flipped. I was kind of being silly one night and decided to have breakfast for dinner. I was making blueberry pancakes. And it turns out that while I was eating them at what I thought was, you know, evening time, it was actually the morning. I had completely flipped my clocks at that point.

Yeah. So the scientists helped me see that these various inner clocks in my body had fallen out of coordination about midway through. So about that same time that I was feeling just really out of whack, you know, uncoordinated and a little loopy and, you know, mood swings. That was when the data showed that my heart rate rhythm and my temperature rhythms were no longer coordinated.

That was when the data showed that my heart rate rhythm and my temperature rhythms were no longer coordinated.

And also when I was becoming more and more uncoordinated with the sun. So it was really it was it was fascinating to know that why, again, my kind of qualitative or how I was feeling those notes that I had made could really be linked pretty directly to to that data of what was happening inside my body.

Right. For a long time, I too thought every time I heard circadian rhythms, I just thought sleep-wake, sleep-wake cycle. But in fact, we have trillions of tiny clocks in our bodies, really, when you think about it. Nearly every cell in your body has a clock.

And these clocks evolved to coordinate with each other and with the sun to help our bodies be primed to do the right things at the right time.
