I was reading the topic about the sleep deprivation experiment and i was just curious to see the long term and short term effects of it. I mean some people make it sound like a death sentence. How bad can it really be? |

I had irritability and some minor hallusinations- also SP |

Are there any long term effects that can occur after like 5 days of sleep deprivation? Like anything permanent? |

So i've basically concluded that the use of stimulants to keep you awake will cause horrible effects after the experiement is done with. So would these be in the range of coffee, energy drinks, and alot of caffine? |

For how long do you plan to stay awake? |

I dont know what people talk about the hallucinations and euphoria. I stayed awake for 4 days and am fine, and have good recall and I have had a few LD's recently. It may just be me, though. I DID get quite irritable, though. I got into a fight with my best friend (fist fight.) |
|
Lol im on day 3 and i am beggining to see mild hallucinations. Ill see stuff out of the side of my eye thats not there, random appearance of stars in the sky and in my room. Flashes of colors, paranoia. Rooms seeming smaller than they really are. Everything just feels different. Ill post further results when i get them |

your crazy, but good luck, don't hurt yourself (or someone else) |

Lol i passed out yesterday sometime, i made it like 90 hours without sleep. The effects were pretty crazy. Objects in poriferal's began moving around and my wall would begin "breathing" if i stared at it anything i focused on began morphing. Extreme paranoia set in. Hallucinations both visual and auditory were frequent. Visual's started becoming 3-D |

LOL, see if you can make it 12 days...things will really be strange and your entire perception and brain functioning will change, permanetly, or so it seems. To me, sleeping used to be for fools...it becomes quite interesting once you DON"T STOP |
|
i made it 7 days with a little "assistance" and things got REALLY weird, just like u described...it ended with my wife at the time finding me sitting naked on the couch rocking back and forth with all my clothes next to me, she was like "dude come to bed" and i said "no way, i love this show" and the tv was unplugged, so i went to bed...slept 8 hrs and was fine...good times |

Lol yes i was pretty skeptical about the hallucinations but after everything started really setting in, i began to see things. It varies from person to person, cause for some it takes longer to tire out. My friend started seeing things after 5 days, for me it takes 3. But im going to try 7 days, but if i really cant do it without the use of caffeine ill stop lol |

I've been able to go a week with just around 2 hours of sleep a night, but still don't see how anyone could go 36+ hours without any sleep. |

I start having very mild hallucinations after 2 days. It might actually just be blood pressure or blood sugar though because I see a lot of dots before my eyes- often black but sometimes silverish. By day 3 I start "seeing things from the corners of my vision" and my brain misinterprets objects as something else. I'm also more easily startled and slight paranoa sets in. |

i'm close to ur age (32) - is that with or without drugs and do u eat during this time? i have hypoglycemia so i have to eat, my memory is fuct due to many head injuries and smoking a hell of a lot of weed to help with back pain and ADD...all my sleep dep has been with caffiene or amphetamines, so it sounds like we have a similar background but i am usually able to eat when i'm amped - i still see shadow people, someone should start a thread about that... |

Normally I don't use anything except my normal intake of Soda. When I have my kids and have to function, or if I'm unusually tired after getting plenty of sleep or have to drive, I take Provigil. I do my best not to abuse it though. My sleep is screwed up enough already lol. |

Lol what the hell are shadown people? |
