Sleep Deprivation

Its 11:30 AM right now, and i woke up yesterday at 3:00 PM. Ive been up for a good 20 hours. Do you think i could get a decent REM rebound or something? Man, im getting tired.

Oh im bout to do some yard work real quick too.

Some sleep deprivation can definately cause REM rebound, but I wouldn't suggest starving yourself of sleep on the regular just to get some extra REM. That can't be good for you in the long run :P. Good luck to you though!

I ended up getting an REM rebound, i had ALOT of dreams, that were very long. Didnt get lucid though.

I did exactly the same thing a few days ago. I stayed awake for about 30 hours and almost had a WILD right off the bat, except I lost my count and fell into a non lucid dream. I had many dreams that night, but none were lucid. But I will definitely be trying that again.

I actually did this again, not exactly on purpose really. My god man, every time id o this my dreams are soooo good.

I had a dream that chained about 7 times, and damn i cant wait to go back to it once i get into a lucid dream again. The only problem is i have no idea who these people in the dream were. Somehow i came to know a girl that was just beautiful, she was in a rich family with a really nice house, like a mansion. Me and many guys were trying to win the heart of this girl. I was trying to really get in good with her family. They were having a giant fancy party, with food on tables all around the house. The house caught fire or something and i had to search the house and save the girl, while everyone evacuated. So im searching this house, this gigantic house, and i find this guy, i dont know if you guys know what the game Borderlands is, but there is a guy called a Bruiser on there, i found him walking around with a big shotgun and i was like hey get out of here, but anyway, i found her, saved her, and her family started to like me. Eventually however the girls mom found out about our little relationship i was building with her daughter now, and was not gonna have anything of it. The mom began to hate me and me and my friend David had to leave because she called the cops on me. Eventually i snuck back over and would hide outside in the dark while her mom had a long talk with her trying to persuade her to stay away from me. I was scared i wouldnt be able to talk to her again so when she came outside, i got her to write her number down on a sticky pad that i placed in my pocket. Her mom came outside and seen me talking to her and went freakin crazy screaming about caling the sherriff on me, saying she called him and lied, saying to the sheriff that her daughter hated me and wanted me to leave her alone, which wasnt true. So i had to leave again saying i wasnt there but less than five minutes, i lied. Eventually for some reason or another her mom began to accept me and let me visit the beautiful girl again. I was back at the house, upstairs in a fancy kitchen while me and the girl were drinking soda and she ate something, this is getting hard to remember thats why im typing this, i just woke up. We went to her room where she began to play THE COolest freaking RPG game i had ever seen. We talked and kissed and had our little moments, and i began to worry about how i was gonna ge home, my friend wasnt there anymore and i had it in my mind that a cab ride would cost atleast 25-30 dollars of which i had none. After pissing in the most fanciest bathroom i had ever seen, i woke up for the last time, and here i am.

Theres so much more to this dream, but i cant recall it extremely well, but it was probably one of my most vivid and greatest dreams ever. The emotions i have for this beautiful girl are still so strong that when i woke up i almost checked my right pocket to see if that number was still there. The strangest thing of all is every person in my dream besides my best friend, i have never seen before in my real life. Next time i get lucid i am SO going back to this house, i dont even know her damn name though, i have no idea how ill get back to this dream. :(

I could seriously write a love novel based on this dream.

I don't think sleep deprivation is worth it to me. I simply can't stand messing up my sleep cycle. I had a day once where I missed a night of sleep then slept during the next day. I felt nauseated and exhausted for a few days following.

Dont do it if you dont have atleast two days that you dont have to work or do anything important. Theres really no need to stay up longer than 30 hours, but you can fix your sleep schedule in a day if you just stay up long enough to fall out at a normal time again.

But man i guarantee the dreams you have will be really good, vivid, and long.
