Proven fact coverfire. If you go without sleep for six or more days, you will most likely be clinically insane. No joke kids. Go out and get some sleep.coverfire said:
I'm not sure what happens to me when sleep deprived. Although, it's 7am here now, and I forgot to sleep last night, so I'll keep you guys posted on any hallucinations and/or apparitions.
my record was this summer, i went 6 days on about 6 or 7 hours of sleep. I downed multiple full-throttles each night to stay awake. Why? Because i could. Me and some friends did it, stayed out every night, doing stupid things. Most fun ever.
The result? You feel fine during the day as long as there is seperation (an hour-long nap, for example,) your speech starts becoming dyslexic in nature, weginning bords with the wrong letters. Also, the slightest things make you upset or angry or burst out laughing.
By the end of the week, i'd started hallucinating, i would, say, be walking straight and dodge violently out of the way of projectiles that DIDN'T EXIST.
Worth it?
Yes. Nothing else to do at the beach anyway.

After about 24 hours or so of staying awake, I tend to start seeing things. I usually take that as a good sign to go to bed.
All that happens to me is my nose starts to run when I'm tired and in extreme cases the edges of my field of vision get darker. My head gets a bit swimmy and if I've taken painkillers within the last 6 hours (and I usually have) then I get a really strange rush from them, even though there should be no real effect left.
Oh, and I fidget, ache a lot and can't bring myself to talk.

As someone who has managed to stay awake for 63 hours (record time. Trying to beat it) I know what its like to stay up, TOO, long.
For instance;
When I stayed up for said 63 hours, I managed to stay completely energetic, And I had become to that of a God at gaming, Yet I still could not beat my friend at SSBM. Damn him. and while in town with friends, They were all different, I saw the hair different, the facial expressions different, to the point of while I was on some swings in the park, I thought, that there was a pick-up item in mid air, and proceeded to jump, infront of all my friends, for said item, only to land 8 foot from height into my face and split my lip and cause my nose to bleed.
Hallucinations Are not at all fun. I've seen little blue men attacking my feet while I try to finally get some sleep. I've seen pink.. things.. Is the only thing they can be described as. And as I have drawn a large anime male on my wall, I saw it as moving, something I deemed never to believe as true again. Sure, staying awake for 63 hours was fun in the long run. But I became paranoid to the point I broke 3 of my friends fingers when he patted me on the shoulder, and Also stabbed a knife into my pillow thinking something was hiding under it.
I am naturally a shakey person, but when staying up, I find busying myself, say with drawing, running, excersizing helps, but afterwards, my hands shake like that of a vibrating iPod accesory that is un-needed yet millions have been bought.

I get very annoyed if people ask me to many things. if im playin something like f.e.a.r in the middle of the night i get paranoid that something is behind me *which was true once...my cat snuck up on me an i nearly crapped myself lol* i also seem to play games like NFS, forza or gta beter. i seem to avoid cars easier. depending how long an late i play the game i tend to dream bout teh bit ive just done on it. last night i dreamt i was against that last guy in condemned 1
Well at first I start making stupid decisions, but get much better at activities requiring fast reflexes(i.e. Racing or fps games).Also I get euphoric when tired. Then I get really hyperactive and can't fall asleep, even if I try to. Also when sleeping after a long game session I have really vivid dreams revolving around that game and playing it. And at one time, when I was really, really tired I started hearing voices, not saying anything I could understand, just the voices of some people I know babbling nonsense. I got really freaked that time.
