What happens when you don't get any sleep at all?

takes about a good days rest, maybe 14 hours of sleep , did about 2.5 days without sleep and crashed hard 0_o

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Well, everytime I've stayed awake whole night, the next day is really weird, like I'm high or drunk, but only in my mind, everything else works fine. Also I tend to say pretty stupid stuff. I've never managed to stay awake for long though, usually by the time I'll come back home I'm dead tired and sleep 12 hours, maybe more.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The other day I had zilch hours of sleep, and I was REALLY grumpy.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

when i do an allnighter i do feel sleepy at some point, but after awhile it just disappears and it's as if i've had my sleep, but then i'm easily affected by daylight, if i wake up earlier than i should but it's light outside i won't be able to go back to sleep, i also can't sleep while it's light outside.

though if i do sleep but don't get enough, i turn into a zombie, i do things, but sometimes forget what i'm doing; i might go to the bathroom but end up in the kitchen and have no idea why for a few minutes before i remember.

I was speaking idiomatically.

After all-nighters, it reaches a point where I'm not even tired anymore. Sometimes I'm still pretty much "normal" and aware. Other times I truly am in zombie mode. The longest I've stayed up was about 120 hours. That was during my early years of college (2-3 years ago). I doubt I could pull off such a stunt now, but all-nighters sometimes happen still, as well as nights with not much sleep. For example, this morning: ~2 hours.

How ya doing, buddy?

Think of when you're tired and you've got it done. Besides, I always get 8+ hours of sleep. I'm a sleeper.

FELIPE NO

I usualy just can't speak to save my life. If i haven't had enough sleep, i won't be able to string together a proper sentence until i get some sleep. I just end up stopping talking altogether untili get some sleep.

My friend goes really weird when she doesn't sleep though. She becomes extremely hyper and crazy. It's pretty damn scary

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

If I stay up all night, so long as the sun is out for my second wind, I get about 10 times more productive. I become EXTREMELY aware and I get kind of crazed. Problem is, I never really REMEMBER what I did after I finally get some sleep.

I've gone about 50 hours without sleep - I was driving in the middle of the night with a carload full of people. By the time the 50 hours was up, I was literally falling asleep anywhere I could. Nodding off right next to the fire, trying to just close my poor eyes. At that point, not even coffee can save me.

My longest is about 72 hours without sleep. In that time I was used to barely sleep and hadn't a lot of problems catching up either but now... I get some weird kinda stomachache, sometimes hallucinate, finally start to laugh like hell until I roll over the floor and then fall asleep. It's almost as if I'm catching up on all the sleep that I've missed in the past right now...

There's nowhere I can't reach.

One of my friends told me that he once went for 2 and a half days without sleeping and he said he would see shadows everywhere that would be standing under trees and stuff and then they would disappear and they freaked him out.

It seems when I was younger and into video games I could stay up forever. Now my tolerance for sleep deprevation is low. If I dont get sleep, I just pass out for a good 12-14 hours.

I forgot to add that the one place I'm hit hardest without sleep is my speech. I won't be able to form a word correctly, much less a full sentence.

After the first week, I started hallucinating. After the third week, I woke up in a hospital bed. Final Fantasy Tactics is superbly involving.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I dunno. I usually just get pretty active for a bit. Half way threw whatever "active" activity I'm doing (Raking Leaves, Mowing the Lawn, Washing a Car, Cleaning my room, whatever) I'll decided it's bedtime. If I have to work, It's usually one of the worst days of work ever where minutes feel like hours.


I pull all nighters often enough to hate them. I just don't see the fun in doing it anymore like I did when I was 12 and had sleepovers and stuff. Now it's just non-stop dragging day after bullshit.

FELIPE NO

I once stayed up for 36 hours and did it on the worst possible day--Saturday. When it came time to go to church, I was already up and awake. I couldn't pay attention to save my life and I kept falling asleep every minute. I also started seeing things and I was forgetting little stuff. Somebody asked me my name during that time and I got all confused.

When I got home, I went to sleep and stayed asleep for 18 hours...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Happened once last term...never again.

I tried very hard to keep my eyes open in class throughout all of the next day, but instead my head kept drooping, and I would always twitch awake like a spaz after one minute or so. I tried to use cold things to keep me awake, and would bob around funny, and I wasn't walking perfectly straight because I would zig zag after I close my eyes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just watch The Machinist. That'll answer all your questions.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

When I don't get enough sleep, things said in one ear, goes out the other. I react slow and I'm usually in my own world. If I catch enough sleep, I'll be ok. I usually have to nap to recover.

I've been diagnosed to be an insomniac. I rarely feel tired when I go to bed and rarely feel awake when I get up. Every week I try to get on some sort of schedule, but fail. No matter how long I sleep I still feel tired. As there is such a thing as getting too much sleep, I've fallen into that trap too.
I'm on a bunch of pills to try and sleep better, but those haven't been very successful.
I'm not really an insomniac in the traditional sense where I get no sleep, but it's been known to happen with me. I go without sleep and get way off during the week.
I can still get up and go places I need to be, but oftentimes I struggle with it, am really grumpy, or really hyper or loopy.
everything's funny when I haven't had enough sleep when I'm with the right crowd.
As for Eleo who says he's eager to experience hallucination . . . why? It's not as fun as you think.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Yes, actually hallucinations are quite terrifying (depending on what you get).

I was speaking idiomatically.

I guess my hallucinations were more of a delayed reaction. I was seeing people and things that were there about a minute or so ago. It was really weird because I would run into stuff and trip over my own feet a lot. I tried to eat before I fell asleep for 18 hours and my face was mere inches from falling in my bowl of cereal...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I seem to concentrate better, but that usually wears off after around 20 hours. The super-concentration skills are almost always accompanied with strange behavior similar to that of a sugar-loaded nutcase.

FELIPE NO

Wow, seeing my quote up there did surprise me a lil bit. Didn't know one simple fact that happened in my life could bring up a topic like this, lol. How honored. ^^

I try not to pull an all-nighter as much as possible. Because if I did, the next day I won't be functioning right (like falling asleep in classes), and for some reason, I'd start to talk a lot and get really hyper if there are people around me. Coffee doesn't wake me up either because I drink so much of it and now my body is used to the caffeine.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

My longest period of not sleeping was 6 and a half days done purely to see how long I could if I forced it. It's really not bad if you force cafein and sugar constantly and keep yourself occupied as boredom = the end after 3 days or so. You also really learn about your natural cycles and when your second winds come in as they will give you the energy to relax a bit for an hour or two with less risk of passing out. Lets see after about 2 and a half days I was getting audio halucinations of people talking at me from behind. At about 5 I started seeing things moving in my peripheral vision regularly with the occasional flash of motion darting in front of me. At the last bit I was roughly a zombie in that I could barely respond to anything. I could understand everything that happened around me but reacting to it was nearly impossible. I probably could have forced it to a full 7 days but I was in summer school and working at the time and I had become completely useless at both so I figured I'd best just get back to normal. Course back then I used to sleep roughly 4 hours every other night so I had a lot of practice at the whole thing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Dude you serious? Nearly 7 days? That's insane. I've never gone more then 2 days BUT then again I've never really tried. Maybe I'll try this... I mean I have the opportunity right now being on break and all. The main problem would be to find things to do without getting bored.
