What happens when you don't get any sleep at all?
Quote:
So does anyone else have any weird habits when they had to stay up all night? How long does it take you to recover? |
When Diablo II came out, I got off work Friday morning (after working all night since 10), came home, installed the game, and my buddies and I proceded to play until Sunday morning around 8 or 9 ish. I promptly fell asleep, woke up for work that night, and went to work.
My body is pretty used to that sort of thing, although nowadays I enjoy getting my sleep, but if I don't get it for a night or two because something is calling my name in ominous and demonic tones, I don't fret too much. |
I get rather loopy if I stay up all night. My body can barely function at the end of the day when I do that. Therefore I crash early on those days.
|
If I don't get any sleep at all at night, I end up falling asleep during my classes. It doesn't take long for me to recover because I AM in public and my actions would probably cause my grades to plunge. Oh yeah. My eyes also get swollen and it takes a considerable amount of effort to keep them open.
|
After the first 24 hours, it simply becomes a matter of staying active and replacing sleep with calories. If I remain active, I can remain focused. As soon as I stop, fatigue comes rushing over me and I might start to hallucinate.
|
I've had to pull lotsa all-nighters for studying. I'll go all night, the next day I might be a bit groggy, but I keep energy about myself, still. But for some reason, 4pm-5pm hits me like a freight train and that often knocks me out in a matter of minutes irregardless of what I'm doing. I had to cram like hell for a test once. Got it over with and had to go to another lecture from 5-6pm. I was out ten minutes before it started, passed out, and snored throughout class o__o;
|
Eventually I'll get a second wind and be alright, but before that I start to frequently nod off, and if I'm talking to someone sometimes what they're saying to me is incorporated into a mini-dream before I wake up again seconds later, and I get really confused and have no idea what's going on. Occasionally I'll respond while I'm still asleep with total nonsense.
|
I have an urge to go to the bathroom. Why? Hell if I know. The least amount of sleep I've had was about 3, so, yeah..
|
When I pull all-nighters, I have insatiable urges to play the piano until my fingers hurt. And even then, I sometimes don't stop.
|
If you stay up long enough you will start to hallucinate, along with the fatigue that accompanies sleep deprivation, it inhibits your ability to think clearly.
|
I get rather loopy... strangely enough, ill either be.. hyper or ill just be a complete zombie... it happens all the time.. going to school and having sleep problems dont mix too well... ._. ive never stayed up long enough to hallucinate, i only stay awake till i start to feel nauseous, then ill stop whatever im doing to sleep... not too healthy, i kno...but my brain doesnt know when its time to sleep... lol
|
After about 50-60 hours of being I started to hallucinate. Also after the 5th week of only getting 3 hours of sleep a night I started to hallucinate and fall asleep while standing up.
|
Usually my face and ears get pretty hot. Then i usually have a bad stomach ache and I have to go to the bathroom.
|
I've only pulled a full all nighter once. Me and my friend stayed up all night and then in the morning we started to play video games and I kind of just fell asleep in the middle of it.
|
Headache, then I slowly dwindle to my bed, and try to lie in positions where it's "impossible" for me to fall asleep, but I always fall asleep anyways. ex. Sleeping with one of your arms standing up.
|
Errr..... well, I think I just play games for about 4 hours. Haha, I just play until its impossible to fall asleep, and then I just asleep on the ground or on the couch. It all works out good.
|
The most I've ever done was an all-nighter, and that was when I was like 11 or 12 years old at a sleepover. I was moderatley tired the next day, I think I took a nap for about an hour or so, but it didn't really effect me that much.
I generally try to get as much sleep as possible. Just last Saturday was the first day that I can remember that I actually woke up refreshed. I usually get up around 11 on Saturdays and I'm still groggy- this time I woke up at 6:30 and felt awesome. I'm going to do everything I can to get that feeling again. |
I fall down when I stand on the second day a lot. If I push it, I'll hallucinate. I've never stayed up more than two days, so I'm not sure about after that.
|
I do this pretty frequently, actually. For me, it's a special occasion to grab a bunch of caffiene... "things," (Fraps, starbucks double shots, actual cups of coffee... whatever I can get my hands on) leave the windows open so it's cold as hell, and blast some vocal trance.
It helps me into an "altered" state that I write in, sometimes. A bit like the beatnicks, except I make more sense. |
I generally become woozy and very unstable when walking. My emotions become exaggerated and anything that feels soft becomes a blanket. I have never stayed up long enough to hallucinate, but I have almost fallen asleep right where I was sitting (or laying as commonly the case).
|
Umm, hehe. It depends what type of all-nighter I pull. If it's for school for lets say, a lab or an essay, I go completely braindead. It's like I'm drunk, basically.
When it's an art project or I just played games for the whole night, I can still function but can no longer tell whether or not I'm dreaming cause it constantly feels like I'm dreaming. I also loose all feeling to my body at times. |
If I stay up through the night and goto class tomorrow, after class i'll be dead and sleep around 4pm for a few hours. After that, waking up and goto bed at a normal time again like 2am.

I've never made it to the hallucination stage; although I am eager to experience hallucination at some point of my life. My personal record is 36 hours, at which point I just start to feel icky with myself and the adrenaline no longer seems to be pumping and the taste of coffee sickens me.
I pulled all-nighters frequently in high school when I neglected to write papers until the night before they were due. Strangely, I got better grades on these papers than papers into which I actually put effort, research, and actual editing. But if I slapped together some random facts and made up a false bibliography by mentioning pages of books I looked up on Amazon.com, boom, instant A. Maybe sleep deprivation hinders my brain just enough to keep me from thinking too hard. |
I've never gone more than 20 hours without sleep. I usually try to get at least a few hours of sleep if my workload is full instead of going all night without any rest.
If I can't sleep at all for any reason, I don't get up to do something. I tend to remain still and wait to finally fall asleep. |
If I get past the hump of time in which I'm really tired, I get a second wave of energy and will be good to go normally from around hours 24-48. Then its time to get some rest. Also, its wierd, but when I feel really tired, the world kinda closes around me, but I enter a super focused state in which I can do homework or art with more ease than in a more rested state.
