A lot of sciency answers so I give you my take:

I get a tingling sensation in my face (like thousands of ants but not in a bad way) and I feel like my eyelids are swelling up. My mouth gets really dry and I get hungry, it feels like my stomach is completely empty and I need to fill it up. I start to think and think and think and to speak and speak and speak. My whole body feels kinda mushy and soft and tingling. I got this cloud, this soft prickly feeling, this warmth in my head and my cheeks are melting and running down my face.. everything seems interesting but I zone out, things amaze me in a way but I forget what it’s all about, Egyptians… Roman’s, aliens…? What are we watching? Is this a documentary? Im tired.
