[fast5] Irritable or grouchy when fasting?

If I recall the book says that you might feel irritable at first but then you get used to it?

I fasted all day, met some friends in the evening and we hung out, we didn't get to eating dinner until like midnight. It was late and I thought, I'll just have chamomile tea, I don't need to eat. I was hungry, but I was OK, it just seemed so late I figured I would go home and sleep.

But I noticed that during the conversation I was slightly irritable. My friend was talking and having trouble finding the right word, and I found myself thinkging, "get to the point already" - I didn't have my normal patience. I was able to keep in control and not say anything. But I wondered if the fasting was making me impaitient.

I had been fasting close to 26 hours at that point. I usually fast about 19 hours. When I do fast longer, I am alone, and I don't notice if I am grouchy, as there is no one to get annoyed with, I live alone.

Just wondering if other people get irritable at all.
