Ever try not sleeping for 3-4 days?

Is it just me or whenever somebody doesnt get sleep for days, they tend to start talking a bit more then they should its like a lie-detector. people jsut open up and tend to say whatever comes to their mind, stuff they usually would not say. Why does this happen???

 

i hallucinate

 

Chemicals in the brain start to react when the brain gets overtired....Im a chronic insomniac...been there lots of times.

 

I know when I am up 3 or 4 or ....days, (usually with chemical assistance.lol,) I have discovered that ghosts live in my tree out back, and have some really strange stories to tell if you can filter out the wind....

 

i doit alot and start to just ramble on, you start to just talk without realizing that your saying as much as you did
i dont think its quitelike a lie detector or truth serum, you just dont realize just how much your talking
i think your minds off switch just gets stuck and your thoughts just leak out and odviosly i need coffee cause of years of sleep deprivation
but yea u can see what its done to me..lol

 

My brain would start forcibly shutting itself down around day two. Unfortunately maintaining regular sleep patterns remains out of my reach because like erzebet1961, I'm a life long insomniac.

 

my worse was 2 weeks without sleep due to meds side effects


i was halucinating like crazy
it didnt help either that we spent the 2 weeks driving in circles in soithern oregon looking for a gathering that didnt exist
sleep deprivations crazy shit

 

Whats really strange for me is the more tired i get ...the harder it is to fall asleep...my body gets tired...but my brain gets wired !!! hahaha

 

When I am not in school I usually function on a system of being awake for a couple of days straight and then sleeping for a day. Doctors say that it doesn't work, but well... it works for me. By the time I reach my third or so day of being awake without sleep I feel like I am just drifting over the world, floating... can't even feel my feet.

 

I was on this whole independent kick when I was 20 and refused to take money from my family or my boyfriend and had just bought a condo with my trust funds and inheritance so I was completley broke all the time and worked overnights at a shelter, working 80 hour weeks for two months and took 21 units during the day. I went without sleep a lot and snapped out of it when my boyfriend threatened to leave me because I was never availible and I kept getting kidney infections...going without sleep for days was horrible.

 

I'm kinda like that- except the extreme fatigue seems to magnify my usual aches and pains to the point that they prevent me from drifting off.

 

lol yea i have both probs
the mind just wont stop thinkin even when it just starts goin in circles
but man do i get alotta crazy thinkin in in sleepless delerium...


funny thing is..in the woodsat a gatherin with the drums and the craziness i can sleep so freakin good its crazy... i can sleep 18+ hours even... but i always stay awake at least somewhat just to make sure the drivers are ok
im bablin..ive been a bit sleep deprived lately

 

yea, when we were younger. i love sleep way too much right now to do that. but yea, we had bets to see who could stay up the longest. now we weren't drinking at this time, and it was during the summer, so we had nothing else to do cuz it was the weekend and camp didn't start till monday - we would start on thursday and go through friday because the first day is pretty easy. come sunday, i was like a zombie. we were never inside doing nothing, we didn't play video games much back then.

 

I've gone a few days w/o sleep... cuz of work or whatnot... I really crashed when I finally did conk out though....

 

I dont think I have ever gone a day without any sleep.

 

just did it again!!! i stayed up another night without getting any sleep, then had class at 9 a.m. was a little tired. the rest of the day went really well.... didnt feel tired at all, guess the daylight tricks ur mind. I even had a damn soccer game and that went pretty well. Once the sun went down I got home and passedout. around 36 hours without sleep = 13 hours of sleep after. Not bad.

 

Once a year I host a marathon of a TV show and everyone trys to stay awake as long as they can. It was all good fun but I guess the best part was the end of the party when we'd all go to bed! XD Other than that I have spells of being an insomniac and sleeping way too much.

 

I don't seem to have that problem. Mostly because there isn't much I wouldn't say upfront even with ample sleep. Usually I can go about 3 days without sleep before I start to act "weird" as people describe me. After about 6 days I start seeing shadow people. That's when I know it's time to go back to bed.

I did hear from my brother, who is going into the Navy in 2 weeks, that the Navy keeps all new recruits up for 36 hours straight upon entering bootcamp. They don't let them talk or anything. Then after 36 hours they have a 'moment of truth' with them.

 

I get pretty intresting when I'm sleep deprived. I have none of my normal inhibitions that would keep me from telling all the stupid people I know how dumb they are.

When I sleep well, I worry about their feelings, but after a few nights, who can care.

 

that whole navy thing is very interesting. Iv never heard of that before
