My Low Carb Alternate Day Fasting Experiment - Day 10

I had a hard time falling asleep last night. An odd type of headache was lingering just below the surface as I was trying to fall asleep. It almost felt like the pain was generalized - in my head and mouth. Well, it stuck around and prevented me from sleeping deeply for the first 3 or 4 hours of the night. Finally at about 4:30 I gave in and took a few Advil and eventually fell asleep. This morning when I took my blood sugar and pressure, I noted that they were unusually low. Could this have been the cause of last night's uncharacteristic headache? Perhaps. I'm going to start monitoring my blood pressure and blood sugar in the morning and evening from this point forth.
