1.What does thirst feel like? We certainly know when we are thirsty, but it is difficult to describe the sensation. (In contrast, most people will identify the feeling of hunger as coming from the stomach.) Thirst cannot simply be the sensation of dryness in the mouth or throat, because a real thirst is not quenched by taking a small sip of water, which moistens the mouth and throat as well as a big drink does.
2. Do you find hunger unpleasant? I find that when I’m looking forward to a meal I particularly like, I don’t mind being hungry, knowing that I’ll enjoy the meal that much more. But then, I’ve never gone without eating for several days.
