Thread: Sleep Deprivation Experiment!(SDE)

Well, it's definitely not healthy to be sleep deprived and exercising like that

When I'm sleep deprived I can basically do nothing.

Oh and don't keep yourself deprived for too long, that's not healthy at all.

I wouldn't think its healthy, but the military (marines) sleep some 3 hours / night and they're doin stuff all day

Well you can say its not healthy and all but your body does no when you have to sleep so i do not recomend doing anything like driving becuase your body will shut down wether or not you want it to so just be carefull and good luck

Trying to have LDs is one thing, spoiling you body is another! It's as good as taking drugs.

You're going to want to eat more food. Sleep deprivation requires your body to use more energy and therefore more food. From what I've seen, day 3-4 is where you start to lose your mind. Also you sound pretty screwed up, get some shut eye.

I've gone three days without sleep before I started hallucinating, and I just passed out while walking up some stairs in my house.

I'm glad you weren't driving, etc...

It's definitley not good for you. What kind of workouts are you doing? If your working out regularly it is especially important that your sleep and diet are in order otherwise you just won't be getting any benefit from your workout and may even be doing more harm than good. I do some weight lifting and have not been sleeping well for the last week or more due to the pressure of exams in school. Even though this is only a small upset to my sleep I have lost progress in my bench press; think of the harm you must be doing! Do yourself a favour and get your sleep an diet in order.

if you keep depriving yourself you will start to hallucinate, its really cool

I've tried to stay up for three days before, but I gave up on the first day after 5 or 6 hours(went to bed at midnight and got up at 6 AM, got really sleepy, then took a nap at 12 or 1o'clock PM and gave up the whole thing). Im pathetic. I planned on playing my PS2 the whole time, but I accidentally broke it a few days prior....

NEVER exercise while not getting sleep it can be very dangerous, seeing how your muscles heal while you are asleep. The first few hours of sleep are mostly dedicated to deep sleep which is when you heal up so you should at least try getting enough deep sleep, but not getting enough REM sleep you can start going a bit mentally ill

did i miss the actual purpose of this here? is it how long you can last or what are the effects? if it is about the effects you can just find that online. you could be in a manic state. are you bipolar? and after all the fun hallucinations your brain will just knock you out even if you are walking, driving, or fighting a bear. i personally would avoid the last two.

Eh, the body adapts. Some guy was left in a prison with no water or food for 2 weeks. Also the temperature was over 90 degrees. He ate his hair and shit to survive.

Wouldn't keep that up too long. Sleep deprival can lead to poisoning, malfunction of organs and other probably permanent damages and ultimately death. But having at least some sleep may prevent that extreme outcomes over a long time.

This sounds horrendous!
Sleep deprivation induced schizophrenia can and does occur, and while temporary, you can cause some serious long term damage with a plan like yours.
Your diet is terrible! Eat good foods, real foods, not just carrots and hot dogs and jello.
And then throwing exercise into the mix? Are you going a rather creative route to kill yourself?
I can't understand why someone would think that this mix has any good points to it.

I don't think he would have done that if he had the choice not to..

I'm just warning Blade here.

It just sounds so unhealthy......

if i remember a correctly this is what i looked up about sleep depreveation
in a dream book:
24 hours: slight irritation and tiredness
48 hours: bloodshot eyes, dizziness, poor concentration
72 hours: buzzing sensation in ears, mild auditory hallucinations, mental impairment
96 hours: basic bodily functions slow down, irregular hearbeat, hallucinations
1 week: near death experiences, lack of conciousness, heavy breathing
9 days: DEATH

all i can say is what kind of cunt would do these expirements to someone?

it's not so much about that, the reason why people do it is because it's almost addictive.
it's not really sadistic, it's more like a spiritual** search, things about yourself that you've never noticed before come right out, depending on how you feel you can become VERY creative and scientific, you mind just explodes all the time and there's never a moment when you start to feel a lack of emotion.
it's also very fun the time you gain from it (if spent well) is awesome.

**i'm not spiritual at all it's just this word sort of fits well.

Lack of protein, perhaps?

I've done this alot when on lanparties.. I can go 2 full days of nonstop gaming before I fall asleep on my keyboard :p this is no big deal if you do this only once in a while imo

False. You won't die from staying awake. If you are awake for too long, you will simply pass out and wake up several hours later. You will have a messed up sleep cycle, but it will return within a couple days. The most noteworthy experiment was done by a high school student who stayed awake for 11 days and he is fine.

I'm pretty sure the only way you will die is if you take drugs to stay awake, or consume something else that is bad for your health. If that happens, you die from consumption of substances you shouldn't be takin anyway, not sleep deprivation

My advice, keep it up if you want to have some crazy hallucinations. I'd stay away from exercise so you don't fall off the treadmill or something and always eat a well balanced diet.
