Sleep Deprivation long/short term effects?

here's the thread i started - http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...ad.php?t=75436

Please keep this convo to Sleep deprivation. If you want the paranormal shadow people, go to BD. I think in this case they are talking about the flits of objects that you see out of the corner of your eye that you perceive as people which freak you out.
I also get this a bit when I'm REALLY tired. :(

I crashed out after 24 hours (unintentiol sleep deprivation). And please don't deprive yourself intentionally, sleep is like water, you need it.

Apparantly if rats are prevented from sleep for 11 days, they die. However, you WILL get lulled into sleep sooner or later. If it's while driving, then good luck avoiding a crash.

Do your brain a favour and go to bed. It's done a lot for you :).
