30.5 RL My Body does Weird Shit

Just a random thought. My body does a lot of weird shit. So, I would like to know:
Am I the only one?

When my body is cold-not freezing, but just 'would like to be warmer'-but I'm already sweating.

When I'm in bed, how is it that my torso can produce so much heat I'm nearly sweating, yet my feet stay ice cold?

I stay awake for 20 hours a day for about a month, and I'm fine, can function properly, even drive a car (although I don't recommend it if you are tired), hold long conversations with people, and then I crash, sleeping for nearly a straight 30 hours.
Yet a few weeks later, I slept for 7 hours a day for 3 days, and was so lethargic on the fourth day I took 10 naps.

I'm doing something, whether it be reading, or cooking, or anything, and I don't need to go to the toilet, then as soon as I change what I'm doing and get comfortable, I have to pee.

You're suddenly aware of a massively long hair on your arm. All of your arm hairs are short, then one just catches the light and it's two inches long.
How long has that been there? And why haven't I noticed it before?

When I grow out my little fingernails, the nail grows on an angle. As in, at the start, it grows normally, then when it gets to about a centimetre (.2 inch) long, I notice that the top of the nail is slightly poking out. So it's not angling in, towards my ring finger, but away from the ring finger, so it gets cracked and broken more often. It's weird because none of my other fingers do it, just the little ones.

Speaking of nails... I did a test on how fast toenails grew back in 2017.
I painted my toenails a bright blue on the first of January. Then I waited and watched as the nails slowly grew and I cut them, slowly getting rid of all the blue. The two littlest toenails were unblued by March. The middle toes' paint actually got scratched off, so I don't know how long it would take that, but the pointer toe (like pointer finger) was clean in the middle of May.
Then I watched the big toe, and waited. And waited. And waited. The last of the blue nail was cut off at the end of September. It took 9 months to fully grow a big toenail. So, there you go, fun fact of the day.

And below are not body things, but just... weird shit:

What I call wondering rants. Sometimes I just randomly say "I wonder how this works" or "Do they have these in another country?" and then spend the next 20 minutes talking to myself about it, either how I think it does work, or if I know someone in that country to ask, or anything else that my brain comes up with about that topic.

Back when I was working 4/6 hrs a week at Maccas, I got called in for a 8 hr shift, (7am-3.30pm) I took a nap. Then M🥜 sent me a message and I fucking roasted her for messaging me at 5 in the morning.
Turns out it wasn't 5 in the morning.
What had happened was when I took my nap, I closed my blinds, so it was dark (as you do) and I was so wiped out that when I looked at my clock and saw 05:00, I thought it was morning, because of the dark. But it wasn't, and then I felt really bad.

So, do any of your bodies do those things? Tell me in the comments if I am not alone! Also tell me if I am alone!

Just another thing about bodies.
In many stories and things, the main female character wakes up and is vomiting. She checks the calender, and voila! She totally forgot when her period was, and it's a week late.
My question is, How do you miss that?! I get freaked out when I'm a day late, and I know I haven't had sex! So how do you forget it?
Sure, it's a common thing that you get used to after 13 or so, but you can never totally ignore it like that!

Or the character's been vomiting, so they go to the doctor, and *gasp!* "You're a month pregnant!"
What? One month? You can tell she's one month pregnant?! No! So many problems with that.
You won't be throwing up. The earliest throwing up can happen is late in the second month, and that is very rare. It's much more common for the third month.
The only "ways" you'll be able to tell one month in, is
A) if your period stopped, or
B) you've got a baby bump.
But then, the period might've stopped because of stress, not eating, sudden weight-loss, or heaps of other factors that can cause a period to stop or be late. Sometimes when it has "stopped" it's just a few days late.
And your "bump" will barely even be there. It'll just look like you had too much cake for desert. And you can't really take that as evidence.
Most of the time, even doctors can't tell if you're only a month along. The fetus will be like, a millimetre long and even that is just a bit too small for doctors/ultrasounds to pick up.
