I have gone 35 hours from travel but have never done a weekend no sleep like some people i know. I have heard some intersting stories from people who have tried to stay up for 3 days and more. While you stay up you wont be on any drugs. Anyone ever experience visuals or anything like that from no sleep? Or tried to stay up as long as possible and what happens?
after just a night without sleep i feel like i'm tripping balls. the worst that's ever happened so far is just seeing trails and shit, no hallucinations. i'm a wreck without a shit ton of sleep
It's impossible to go without sleep for long. Your brain will trick you into sleeping. In fact, lab rats that went too long without sleep eventually died...from lack of sleep...
I often have trouble sleepin. I've never really gone more than a day and a night completely without sleeping, but after a couple of weeks of sleeping 3 hours a night, I get pretty messed up. I one time has a period of about a day where everytime I sat down for more than two minutes I would feel like I was slowly drifting away from myself, and then once I did some movement I would get that extreme falling sensation I'm sure most of you are familiar with.
ive stayed up for about 3 days and felt so messed up. ok so it was my trip to europe back in 06. 2 days before getting on the plane. i wake up at 6am to catch a ride with my friend to the nearby city, where i stayed with another friend the day before take off, the friend i stayed with told me to just chill and stay up all night with her so i could just sleep on the plane, well i stayed up till about 5am, she went and passed out so i just went to the room and napped till 6am, i wouldn't call it sleeping, when im really anxious/excited or nervous about something i usually wake up alot. anyhow i wake up at 6am, get a ride to the airport where i wait for my plane. i forget how long the trip was, but i had to take 3 planes to get to germany. i take off, land in salt lake airport take off, land in atlanta then take off for germany. flew up the eastern coastline, over the atlantic, over uk, i think london, over belgium... i stayed awake the whole time, i watched a harry potter, i dont which one. and other stupid movies. it was the morning when landing in germany that i started seeing lightning in the plane. haha, at first i thought it was someone taking pictures, but no my eyes were freakin out and i was seeing bolts of electricity, was weird as hell. i was so sleepy, the plane had to circle 3 times before landing in Frankfurt so it was like an extra 30min of sitting down which sucked! i think thats the worse ive been through, sitting for so long sucks! it was probably 13 hours. so i got my luggage and met up with my friend, i was phasing in and out of sleep, still seeing electric things but i really wanted stay awake. another 40min of sitting, finally got to my friends place and i basically just closed my eyes on that bed and bam! was out, i woke up sometime in the evening and went out with my friend to someplace and ate pizza and drank a huge tall glass of beer! haha. i was buzzin good when we got back, said goodnights and passed out again until the next morning. i dont the know hours but it was insane, i felt fine and had no jetlagg or anything the next days, got used to the new time really easy. stayed 3 months traveling around. germany, traveled all by train, stayed in frankfurt for awhile, went up near hamburg, stayed and worked up there for awhile doing construction/landscaping with my friend, then i went down south and stayed in munich, this friend works at a lighter factory that also made stuff for the fifa cup, they like they're soccer! scored some sweet butane lighters, stayed some weeks then i went on to switzerland near berne, was beautiful! mountains and vineyards, so green, i smoked up in berne with a hot hippie chic with awesome dreads, she played acoustic and sang that night in the hammock, while we were chillin, floating to the music by the fire and cookin foods, drinkin wines... loved every moment! she just had gotten back from australia , it was a magical night... after a few weeks i went back into germany, met up with my friends near stuttgart. stayed a couple days, then from stuttgart went to paris by train. visited family, stayed 2 weeks... then went back to germany, where i stayed for a couple days and flew back to the states from frankfurt airport. way off topic!!! but it felt good to write it, so many memories came back to me. bah!
going without sleep.... worst idea ever. I have felt super crazy when I go without sleep, and not a cool type of crazy-feeling.... the kind that makes you hate life. Sleep is good, get enough, be happy.
i just get really delirious. if im deprived of sleep, the next day i am either really wacky or cranky. the longest ive gone without sleep is two full days. that was crazy. i started seeing shit.
