Hi Carolyn,

That's an interesting question.

I live in New England. I'm outside a lot in the summer and don't need the potato
then. But by late summer or early fall I put it back in.

Funny, when I hiked in Scotland for 2 weeks in June/July a couple years ago,
there was so much sun I was wired, barely slept. That's also because I was fascinated
by it being light at midnight and twilight by 3 AM. I wanted to see all the daylight. But I
suspect now that it was also due to high serotonin--I was eating the potato too.

: this is a really interesting thread
: as i hadn't realised a spike could
: be due to having a very low amount
: or already having enough.

: I am getting funny effects from it
: too right now so also need to work
: it out. I had a second related
: question to this though. If you
: normally have a low level of
: sunlight in your day (ie live in a
: non sunny country like Scotland
: ) and then unusually spend a
: large part of the day outside in
: blazing sunshine would you reduce
: the amount of potato that night. I
: am definitely getting spikes from
: the potato and not feeling right
: but I particularly noticed it a
: couple of nights ago after
: spending a day outside in sunshine
: thanks
