Good Morning !

When I wake up in the morning I experience a lot of environmental and physical changes.  Often times, I am hesitant to wake up because its so cold outside of my bed.  Once the covers come off instant chills reach my body and I immediately grab the covers to put them over me again.  Its also very hard for me to get up because the light is really harsh on my eyes.  I squint a lot, for it takes awhile before my eyes get used to it.  I also find that I get light headed when I rise up quickly out of bed.  I tend to have minor blackouts for a few seconds. So because of this I try to wake up laying down and then get up.  

The organs that seem to be involved when I wake up are my skin, nervous system, and my muscular and skeletal system.  My skin is involved because I get sudden chills once my covers are removed.  The nervous system contributes to this too, but also to how my eyes first react to the light.  And of course my muscular and skeletal system because they help me get up from the bed and get ready for school.

Some feedback loops that might be working are the ones that help me from getting up too fast and blacking out, the ones who help me adjust to the temperature of my room, the ones who tell me that I'm hungry for breakfast, and the ones who help me adjust to the light.  All these feedback loops help you know what your body can handle or what your body needs.  For example, like when I get up too fast I often get light headed.  So when my body tells me this, I slowly lay back down and wait until I feel okay.  Another example is when I open my eyes and the light hurts.  So I squint for awhile until I am used to it.

All I can say is WOW! You had an amazing explanation of everything Ms. Dawkins was asking for. I really didn't understand what she was asking for, but after reading yours, I completely understand it. You're a GREAT writer! =]
