ICJLM is on the patch !!!! -- Melatonin+GABA log (AgeForce sponsored)

I just put the patch on a few minutes ago at 10:50 pm. Rather than have to wash my foot and whatnot, I decided to just rinse off my forearm and put it there. The skin is pretty darn thin there, and I have a nice network of veins that are very visible, so that should hopefully be a good spot.

Now it's time to do some studying before bed

Yea that spot should work. I'm limited because I'm not super lean and I got a lot of hair... Judging from your avatar you are both lean and hairless lol.

I like to slap my patch a few times after I put it on to increase blood flow to the area. Lol...sounds kinda weird but it's a theory of mine.

Lean, yes. Hairless, no. I still have a little boy body so I don't have much chest or back hair! But I do have relatively hairy arms and legs. For some reason when I take these crappy low res pics from my webcam it looks like I have no body hair, but I like it that way anyways!

Kinda makes sense to me tbh. I had the same sort of idea in mind too because I was rubbing my patch last night hoping to produce the same effect.... That sounds really dirty; "rubbing my patch" hahahaha

Well I tossed tonight's patch on about ten minutes ago at 11:50. There is nothing special to note about last night's sleep. I wouldn't say it was out of the ordinary by any means. Tonight I am hoping for some awesome sleep, because I do not have classes at all on Friday. So I will be sleeping in 'til a reasonable hour, and then waking up to do some fasted cardio, abs, and calves. That was today's workout, but I was really busy so I decided to do it on Friday when I had a lot of extra free time. Time to get ready for bed. I'll let ya'll know about my rest tomorrow!

Recover well buddy!

Slapped the patch on my left foot twenty minutes ago at 12:50 am. Did all my pre-bed stuff, ie brushing teeth, washing face, etc. Time to lay down now and get some rest. I have felt really lousy for about the last 36 hours or so, because I think I may be getting sick. Although rather than getting full on sickness, I feel as though my body has fought it off. There is a ton of viral stuff going around campus right now, so I am hoping to avoid it. A good night's rest will certainly help!

Melatonin is also a damn strong anti oxidant.

Rest well bro.

Patch applied: 12:50 am
Fell asleep: ~1:30 am
Removed patch: 10:15 am
Awoke: 10:15 am

When I woke up at 10:15 this morning, it was immediately obvious that it was time to get up; ie I did not feel like I needed to roll over and get more sleep. I think this is a good thing. It means I was immediately ready to take on the day. I slept very well last night, only waking up a couple times to take a piss. Haha there is simply absolutely no avoiding that, because I just drink way too much water throughout the day. Sometimes I will try restricting my H20 intake later on in the evening, but last night I was feeling very thirsty and even had dry mouth when I woke up. This is likely a result of this stupid cold that I'm battling right now. I'm hoping I don't get a midday slump today, but it feels as though I will have sustained energy for the rest of the day... Good thing, cuz I have some studying to do for our first big anatomy exam coming up this week

I'll probably write back later once I put on tonight's patch.

[FL3X MAGNUM]

Good luck with the anatomy!

[ICJLM]

Good luck with the anatomy!

Thanks, FL3X. I wish luck were all I needed to ace this exam! But it seems only hours and hours of studying will do the trick. I never expected anatomy to have soooooooooo much info involved.

Human body be complex as hell! hahaha

[ICJLM]

Human body be complex as hell! hahaha

It sure is! I only have three weeks of this under my belt and it is already overwhelming

[ICJLM]

I put the patch on my right foot not too long ago at about 10:45 pm. Tomorrow's alarm clock will be going off at 7:30 am. I'm planning to do a bit of studying until about 11:30, before falling asleep. We'll see how it goes. I'll write back tomorrow....

[oufinny]

I am using this, honestly I am not impressed. 10mgs of oral melatonin go a long way compared to this.

Woke up at 5:15 am to piss and absolutely cannot fall back asleep.

How you feeling? Still tired?

[ICJLM]

Recap of last night:
-Put it on last night at 10:45 pm
-Fell asleep at 12:20 am after studying
-Woke up at 5:15 am to piss, and removed the patch
-Laid in bed awake and unable to fall asleep for about 40 minutes
-Alarm went off at 7:30 am, and then my day began

I felt like absolute sh*t today. Probably the worst day I have had literally in years. I'm not attributing anything to the patch, but because of stress. I had this anatomy lab quiz today, which had a ridiculous amount of material on it, none of which I had a grasp on. Then I have a big exam for anatomy on thursday, which is probably going to absolutely rape me. And I have our first big physiology exam on wednesday. Oh and I have some BS first exam for this sh*tty religions class along with a weekly quiz in this stats class also on thursday... wow typing that out just made me realize that I have three of those on the same day. Excellent!

So, anyhow, it is clear I am not in a very positive mindset. I am feeling fine now, but I was the most miserable person on Earth this morning. Once I got that anatomy lab quiz out of the way (got a 15/15 on it btw, but I also spent two hours studying before it causing me to miss a meal which made me even more angry) I was feeling better. There was just so much hanging over my head. Then I hit the gym, which was pretty lousy btw, but I felt so much better afterwards. Like a thousand times better. What really messed up my sleep and mood was the stress of all this crap that I know I have to do hanging over my head, and the fact that I hadn't trained since Friday. I planned on taking the weekend off, but it looks like I am too exercise addicted to allow that to happen again haha.

But now I am kinda getting back to my easy-going/optimistic/carefree/kind self... Just gotta realize sometimes that these problems are just so miniscule in the grand scheme of things. Sometimes it is just challenging to convince yourself of that once you get so worked up. Oh well, life goes on.

On another note, I put tonight's patch on at 10:45 pm. Probably just gunna fap and then get to bed (no need for me to share that, haha I just kinda felt like sharing tho). Hopefully that same thing doesn't happen to me tomorrow morning where I can't fall back asleep, or I will probably be really pissed.... It won't though! That was honestly the first time in my entire life where I have not been able to fall back asleep after waking up to pee. Bad times, bad times.... Tomorrow's alarm will be going off at 8:00 am, so I hope to be asleep by midnight at the lastest. I'll write back tomorrow. Hopefully in my usual cheery mood!
