If you have, in recent past, had an experience of waking up after about a couple of hours into sleep at night, you would have realized what varities of chemical reactions happen in the digestive system. This is subject to a condition that you had your dinner not earlier than a couple of hours before you attained horizontality.
Last night, i had dinner right as per Jainism diktats, before sun set. The sun however is setting pretty late here, these days.
So when I did wake up, digestive juices were almost pouring to break down molecules of food into chemicals which can be accepted by blood. I understand most of these juices have low to very low ph values. The reaction appeared exothermic and a bit noisy too. Some reactions also appeared to convert solid particles into gaseous form, equivalent of sublimation process as we would know.
And you can not blame me for having partaken something I should not have at my age. It was a bowl of burrito, and the recipe (https://damndelicious.net/2014/09/10/easy-burrito-bowls/) will bear me out. No dish can be more harmless than this. Now you can always blame me for quantity I consumed, which may not have been in tune with my age, that is because the dish is delicious, and I like it.
If you have noticed, the reactions do not take place at NTP and you may have to twist and turn your stomach to ensure residual products move towards lower end of elementary canal. This is a challenging job considering force of gravity is not helping, body being parallel to horizontal plane.
The purpose of this note is not to explain process of metabolism. It is to draw your attention to cognitive activitism which results during this state. And I am trying to recall what all went through in my mind.
It was 'communication' . That was the subject of cognitive activities. Motives, Messages and Media, all came under scrutiny. Let me delve at length separately.
