I have my thermostat set to 50f (10c)... only because any colder and I worry about pipes freezing. I'm on the computer all day, so I sit in a sleeping bag and have an electric hotpad on my hands. It works fine for me, I can still get in "the (programming) zone", even while I'm on day 4 for a water only fast, which typically drops my metabolism and therefore my perception of body temperature. (I'm a pretty extreme person...) I typically do this every winter, but especially this one because fuck the war.
- zwkrt 4y agoI appreciate your intentions but the overall description sounds like you’re attempting to mummify yourself!
- odessacubbage 4y agoi'd really love to be able to fast like that but my productivity falls through the floor whenever i've tried
- AlexErrant 4y agoFor me, day 2 is by far the hardest. Significant energy swings on days 1 and 2. After I hit day 3, it's mostly smooth coasting - I can do 7 days no prob. If anything, days 3 and after, I'm more productive. I find it somewhat easier to focus, and there's zero eating/foodprep/cooking/toilet distractions (I also pee less despite drinking quite a bit of water.) I say this with the advantage of having done this for years - you may need to build your way up to it.
