Are you significantly happier now than before?

Very much so yes. Potential big confounder: never been around so many beautiful & nice females (I'm a straight male).

But my moodflow varies between long lasting moods of feeling slightly good and slightly bad and for the days I've been here I get consistent "great" ratings - I feel awesome all the time.

The feeling happier part could explain looking and feeling healthier alone. I'm stepping into the realm of guesswork here, but I would say that being around others that you enjoy hanging out with could be the cause, or the increased exercise from dancing so much.

Also, explaining the cigarrettes and alcohol, although there are long term risks associated (especially for the cigarettes), that doesn't mean they cause negative short term effects.

As for 7 hours of sleep tops, there's evidence that around 7 hours might be best.

could be a sign of a mold infestation or other environmental thing where you normally live

Isolating and mass producing the happiness mold could be the best invention since penicilin. :D
