One catch with that is that Ian doesn't have terribly good powers of self-observation.
He doesn't tend to notice "I'm hungry, I should eat soon." Rather, he gives notice at "I'm hungry, I'm about to pass out." I'm still not always good at parsing Ian-ese in this regard.
It's possibly something for a followup post; how *do* you notice such things about onesself? [Maybe I should research the training given to kids without pain receptors; Ian feels pain, but doesn't always recognize it as a sign to stop what he's doing. [Possibly it comes from knowing people with chronic pain. When pain *doesn't* have a relationship to one's actions, then why give into it?]
