I thought I missed this, then noticed the time-stamp on the edit.

That is my understanding, but one thing I've learned here is that everyone (and everyone's responses) are different. Times, dosages, durations, other variables—are all based on bell curves established by studies, so it stands to reason there are certain people who will fall at either end of the bell/outside the "norm".

I think it's great that you've been able to nail down that 2nd day, and hope it's reliably constant.
