Thread: Another idea

Well lets say you stay up for 3 days. Then go to bed and sleep for 24 hours. One could just instead not stay up for 3 days and sleep reguarly 8 hours per day. It would be the same. For my sake i cant sleep more than aproximently 14 hours even if im up a whole week. And i dont think the body need more either.
What i want to try in that case is coma. Wonder if one is consciouss then. If one is then it would be a thrill!

Well if you're thinking of situations eg. where you were in an accident and lying in hospital... then sorry to break your bubble, but they're likely to be giving you sedatives like Dormicum - which normally results in you losing all memory of the time you spend in hospital.

So you can have the most amazing psychedelic dreams (which Dormicum will likely do), and it'll be forgotten anyway

Damn you! You broke my last bubble! Now i have to make a new one from scratch. Like i tatto in my pan "Do NOT give me Dormicum", before i smash my head into a wall.

Ive always thought about that also (lol) if being in a coma is like constantly living in a dream like state, where you brain (to survive) creates a world in which you inhabit, not to disimular to the world in which the person is lying in the hospital. One could call it a Lucid Dream, i like that idea In response to the question, im sure if you miss a nights sleep, or only sleep for about 4 hours (missing the REM cycle) the next night you make up for it, REM lasts longer to make up for the missed time. I used to work late and only get about 4 hours sleep a night, and the next night i slept i got 10 hours sleep and at about the 7th hour i woke up becasue i became consious.

gah brought up an old topic (well 3 days so not to bad) but anyways it would truly suck to be in a coma, and be in some world your brain created and then once your out of the coma you realize that you were dreaming and think about what you could have done.

even after more than a week or so of staying awake (severe psychic damage included) a human can repair himself in as little as 13 hrs of sleeping. So, staying awake 3 days in a row wont make you sleep the hours you missed. sorry

a coma would be scary, eventually.

after so many non-lucid "dreams" you'd think you'd eventually run into spots of lucidity.




Imagine swimming underwater at night... and finally finding that breath that you so desperately need and you realize everything and your surroundings, right before you are plunged under water again.. And with every lucid instance you realize your past lucid "breaths"... Your paradox... this.. this... trap.

My friend went through something like that in the waking life. Scary.

I'd imagine one could cook up a nice cocktail of pharmaceutical drugs for a _very_ lengthy stay in the sleeping state.

Not advised.

Dangerous (could die with adverse reactions to combinations of dosages), questionable (may not dream), illegal (and thus, unavailable).
