I am not dead but i almost died when i dank 3 energy drinks and a shot....I didnt go to sleep until 8 am and at 7 i ran a mile ...I could of gotten a Heart att...how could i've been so stupid

Don't you go insane after a while of not sleeping?

I don't understand this fear of sleep deprivation. It was used by various peoples throughout the globe to induce altered state of counsciousness. From articles that were presented in this thread there are no risks if you do it safely. If you are off-work, with someone looking after you, with no duties to handle, eating healthy foods, drinking enoygh water and you have enough time to recover after this experiment I would ask - why not?

I tried it myself but more experiments will follow when the set & setting is right. After two sleepless nights, on the day three, it was starting to be really interesting. My mood was mildly euphoric, my chats with friends were more enjoyable then usual and I was experiencing mild pseudo-hallucinations (like geometric patterns or colour shifts). I used caffeine and I didn't felt any negative symptoms of using this stimulant. Once I tried to stay awake for three nights but I've fallen asleep. I noticed ZERO negative side-effects.

You're assuming that the person is going to do this in a responsible, mature manner with adequate safety precautions. I think we're all worried about the person having no idea what they're doing and getting hurt.

Racing heart and panic attacks sometimes happen when someone is taking large doses of stimulants. Sleep deprivation could have a minimal or no role in quoted symptoms.

Look at the way the kid is behaving.

But... why? Just to see what happens? I don't see how sleep deprivation can help you, only hurt you.

And someone earlier said that you can't die from sleep deprivation. We learned in Living Skills (-gags-) about an experiment where they kept mice awake and they died. I'm not sure how you would force yourself to stay awake like they did for the mice though.

I've never even stayed up for one day. I fell asleep at 5am.

Curiosity. That's all.

Curiosity. The things people will do... oh well.

I have tried it and logged some of it, and it is something I will never do again. Totally not worth it.

For me, it's not an experiment, it's a lifestyle... A very productive one, I might add.

When I was younger, I loved to sleep. I enjoyed 10-11 hours a night, but I was always late for school. Later in life, sleep would cost me a couple jobs, a couple girlfriends and countless missed opportunities. I was failing in the "real world" and wished I didn't require so much sleep...

I was nearing eviction from my apartment for non-payment when I was invited to a weekend rave. I wound up taking some ecstasy and danced for almost 10 hours without stopping. I stayed there from Friday night to Sunday night without sleep and started noticing some changes. I was achieving physical feats such as front flips and landing on my feet as became highly communicative. I spoke easily to people that I would normally not talk to. I had pinpoint acurate coordination and enhanced hearing.

After the party, I crashed... HARD. But in the proceeding days, I only needed a normal 8-9 hours of sleep. I gained 1-2 extra hours' to do things I normally didn't have time to do- like talk to people. So I found myself staying up for 1-2 nights, then 2-3 nights, then 4-5 nights and arose a completely different person, who hardly requires sleep. I had essentially engineered my own self-induced insomnia.

Now days, I go out to clubs and out-party everyone. I'll be dancing & drinking until the clubs close and go directly to work and rock everybody there, every step along the way, doing tasks at the speed of light and actually enjoying working. Then I'll go to the studio and record some tracks, play a show and drink and dance until the clubs close.

Music is my life and I've made some killer recordings between 3-7AM. I'm in not one but three bands, because non of them can hang on as long as I go. They all wonder how I find the time to do all the things I do. Isn't it obvious? Time travel. Not sleeping for 3 days gives you 4 days of waking days, essentially, slowing down time. And when I finally do sleep, it's only for a few hours and I wake up feeling like the world has passed me by.

I find time to dream in the daytime.

Hours 55-67: This was a dream-like state. I knew I was awake... but when I thought about reality, it was just like I did not care for it. Things did not feel so real anymore. At some point, reality also began to take an odd twist. My body did not feel so much like my own anymore. It felt like I was just using it, as if I was viewing reality through the eyes of another person. Being there, but not being there at the same time was how it felt.

That's very interesting and says something about consciousness. For me it looks like worth the trouble.

I concur. It makes you not give a shit. I highly recommend sleep deprivation for high strung stressed out people.

IT IS FUN WHILE IT LASTS. BUT WITH ALL SINCERITY, BEWARE, THERE WILL COME A TIME WHEN THAT DREAM BECOMES NOTHING BUT A HORRENDUS NIGHTMARE YOU CAN'T SHAKE, THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT THE DEVIL, IT LURES YOU IN SO SWEETLY AND SUCKS YOUR LIFE AWAY, LITERALLY.

MY BEST WISHES TO YOU, AND MY GOD KEEP AN ANGEL BY YOUR SIDE AS HE DID FOR ME DURING MY TIME.

HOLLA IF YOU EVER NEED ANYTHING

Well, you technically shouldn't sleep deprive yourself, but, I've done it before, so, can't tell you not to. I think the main idea is to have a good diet and be prepared for the worst. I did around 24-48hr and funny enough, went to uni after staying all night. It was definitely an interesting experience, because, I was awake, but, felt odd, its just hard to describe, but, didn't really feel like myself. Would I do it again? Maybe. Anytime soon? Possibly since I am not busy with anything these days and I can afford to stay up a couple of days

If you are sleep deprived - your muscles will basically become sore and it will be hard to workout to their full potential.

Trust me, I've done that tons of times.

Your muscles arent being repaired though after being torn after a workout so that's not good. Basically, you'll just overwork, and you'll make no gains in muscle. But as far as you hurting yourself long-term, probably not.

To spice up things a little bit add LSD in the mix

MK ultraaaa!

Sleep Deprivation, ive mastered it , extencivly. My record was 5 days, although now I ususaly stay up for about 48 hours then sleep for 12 at the least. After 5 solid days everything hurts. Simply walking or blinking becomes a chore, especialy when you have almost nothing to do. Currently pushing 48 hours right now.

Gahh!!

Im sooo maddd!

So,
my 3rd day was sooo much fun!
I was starting my 4th day
and I was doing soooo great, felt amazing, just watching the little things Id see was so entertaining to me, and got the right amount to caffine to feel awake but no too much so I wouldnt get anxiety or shakiness, but I started feeling sleep so I started to make a pot of coffee, I came back to my room to sit, and I did the most stupid thing ever

"Oh, Ill just lay down for a bit" I looked at the Clock 5:25am, and said "Omgosh I cant wait for today!, I wonder what kind of things I'm gonna see"
Cuz, I like looked looking around cuz Id always see new shiny things, the next thing i know its 2:34pm...

I was soooo mad I screamed cuz I was so extremely mad (As well as using bad language... well a lot of it actually)

uhggg, I was having so much fun, not ever did I feel bad at all

I would go 5 days, 6 is pushing it a little but not ever anymore more then 6, that just makes you stupid

But, honestly, I dont see anything wrong with it.

The most important thing is eating right, and coffee is alright as long as you drink water later to rehydrate and good amount of food, Coffee will make you feel like your not hungry, but later on if you dont eat, your body will have the worst anxiety in the world, and even worse if u drink too much coffee, so just find the right amount,
and you will feel great everyday

Would I do it again?

Yes! =D

But not very often, maybe like one a month, Me and my friend are gonna do this next month sometime.

Buddy system, is like so much more helpfull, and finding things and keeping busy is the easiest way to stay up, its gonna seem like time is endless, but I liked it I enjoyed every second of it, not ever was I bored once, ever

So the long time just made life more fun =)

Oh and dont EVER do exercise. ever.

Unless you want to Eff up your body.

uhg, Im still like sooo mad, but whatev, I dont need to use anything, so, why feel bad when I can just use my own willpower, right?

The thing is, that its not really "hard" I felt like, it was like an adventure, Its hard to explain.

The Hallucinations were soooo amazinggg I miss them =(
I didnt have any scary hallucinations, cuz Id be looking for them the whole time.
and the Euphoric state I was in, was so pleasent, I visited my friend that lives a block from my house at like night.
It was great , all the lights Id see outside at night were like, Celestial, you know? like pretty much amazing.

Anyways, Sleep Deprivation, I dont feel like its bad, only if you research about it first, read other peoples experience with it, take real precautions before starting, get a good nights sleep before it, and having a friend around to help is always fun.



Ask for help ( I only posted this by the way, cuz I know a lot of people think like I do, they'll read a post saying its a bad thing and dont ever try it, but I would say "uhh well, Im gonna try it anyways, I dont care what other people say it sounds like fun"

Honestly, I dont feel bad for thinking that, and I dont care if people like it that I think like that, its my life, So I know other people (not all, obviously) think like that too, So to those that do, hope you have as much fun as I did,)!

PS: Dont ever do this while driving, operation heavy machinery (well any machinery for that matter) NOT EVEN SCISSOR! =)

PSS: and Dont be stupid and go to school/work like that, do it when you have a lot of time, I did it over spring break, =D


"Patients is the key" and it really is too. <3

It felt like I was just using it, as if I was viewing reality through the eyes of another person. Being there, but not being there at the same time was how it felt.

Its fairly easy for me to experience that. I will start to question life and why i am here, then the feeling sets in. Its like... mmm... how do i describe it. It feels like your slipping away and your just looking through the body's eyes.

Anyways, sleep deprivation isn't really good for your health. I went 36 hrs, but that was my max. I laid my head on my pillow and just fell asleep. But once spring break starts I will prolly see how long i can go.

skipping even one night of sleep leads to arrythmia and narcolepsy. you shouldn't toy with your health.

i hope op is trolling

Recently I didn't slept for one night and then slept two or three hours. The next day I felt like tripping. When I was going to University I was feeling great, my mood was significantly uplifted. I think that spring's atmosphere was enhancing my well-being. This afternoon I met with my girlfriend and I started joking and fooling around. My imagination and thinking processes were significantly altered. She had a great time and I gave her more then one reason to laugh.

We went near the river and rested for an hour or two. I was full of positive feelings. It reminded me my previous psychedelic experiences. Lack of sleep seemed to reduce my perceptual and mental inhibition. Aside from mild hallucinations, I saw energetic patterns around plants. I saw their life force that was definitely stretching to the sun, read to burst with leaves. Plants growing from the river looked like magical rods, shining on top. I've some practice with clairvoyance, so I know that it wasn't just distortion of tired brain. I was aware of all life around me, noticing every fish or insect flying around. I found my self interested in their feelings and their work (birds seeking food or spider making his\ web). Simply put, empathy with all living creatures (not excluding humans).

My comparison with tripping can have more significance then it may appear on the surface. Shamans used to abstain from sleep for long periods of time to induce altered states of consciousness and my girlfriend asked me few times if I didn't took any drug. I enjoyed this playfulness of a child. This parallel with psychedelic experience could be responsible for varied reports of sleep deprivation experiments of other people posting on this forum.

After a good sleep, I felt well but I look forward if anyone had insomnia or arrhythmia. Mostly, because I have some minor issues with my heart.
