The "Tokyo-train disease"

On Monday we were really tired. Like falling a sleep everytime you sat down. We thought about it and figured it had to be because of the hectic shopping this weekend. So we went to bed early that night, hoping to be more awake on Thuesday.
But actually, Thuesday it was even worse! Our legs and feet had never been so heavy. Why!?
Could it be because of the new surroundings? I mean, we ARE in Tokyo for godness sakes... It is strange because we are both so tired at the same time.
Now people started to comment the fact that we looked tired. Louisa couldn't take it anymore and asked a co worker if they had any enery-drinks in the vending machine. She bought 2... But stil deadly tired!!

Tuesday was also an early night. Louisa went all in an got 10.5 hours sleep. Wednesday started good. But after 30 min at IKEA it came back! At this point the mind doesn't work right an the imagination goes a bit wild.
Our explenation today was that they had turned off the ventilation in the store so we had a lack of oxygen. It had been bad weather and cooler so there wasn´t a need for aircondition like last week. Nobody else was effected because they were used to it, I mean, they live in Japan, we are just visiting. Their bodys kan take the lack of oxygen.
And one other thing, all Japanese people can fall asleep anywhere. We watch people sleeping everywhere, mostly on the trains and train station. It's quite amazing. And when a person is asleep the body releases some kind of hormon that makes people around you get sleepy aswell. That's the answer!!! Got it!!!

Haha!

But at Fika we have had enough and Louisa drank 2 cups of coffe with a lot of sugar and Poof! The tiredness was gone. Anna consumed some sugar aswell and had the same result.
The thing is, we have been eating so much sugar, tasting everything good so we decided this weekend we were going to stop. And we got a deficiency of sugar!
When we thought about it we came to the conclusion that you need that kind of energy here. There are hardly any fiber in the foods in Japan, not like in Sweden. All food at home contains wholegrain and that is our main sours of energy. So for the first time in history, we can (must) eat sweets every day!!
