In response to Zombi3's thread "I've been up for xxxx" amount of hours, I read a few posters talk about their sleep deprivation experiences and it really got me interested in the whole thing, I want to hear more, the paranoia, freakouts, outlandish things that weren't there.
Bring 'em on!

i wanted to see how late i could stay up so i stayed up for like 65-70 hours somewhere in there. eventually there was like a 3rd person voice in my head telling me i could close my eyes and lay down, i wouldn't fall asleep. It was just funny because i knew it was lying, and it was like trying to trick me into going to sleep, which worked.

A week ago I stayed up for 3 days on the 3rd day I took a lotta kratom. I notice that when I'm that tired I'll just come to the Shroomery and ramble on about nonsense and sound like a total dick. Anyways I was watching porn on the 3rd night with the volume on mute, but I swear I could still hear orgasms. Pretty cool IMO since I was tryna be stealth but I wanted to hear the videos but I got to anyways.

I was prescribed a sleep medication when I was tounger (I think trazadone..?) and I made myself stay up anyway after taking it and saw mouths with weird teeth coming out of the walls and the wood floor was growing grass. Sounds awesome but it was actually kind of creepy.
Teamkiller, your signature is awesome even though I don't believe in God but I always thought the language was beautiful. I hope it wasn't a sarcastic post considering the view of middle eastern people anymore.

Well of all the times I stayed up for over 48 hours straight one incident stands out by far
It was a warm summer day last year I had been awake for roughly 77 hours smoking eating and snorting a very unhealthy amount of crystal meth needless to say I was starting to really lose it
I distinctly remember one moment from that day me and a few of my buddies were out on my back porch smoking a blunt and when I glanced at the trees in my backyard I clearly saw men sitting in the branches looking at me with binoculars
They appeared to be wearing secret agent-esque body suits and helmets picture Sam Fisher from the Splinter Cell series to get an idea of what these men looked like.. they were holding large binoculars with bright orange lenses and they were obviously staring right at me
This was such a vivid hallucination that it scared the ever-loving shit out of me as soon as I noticed them I freaked the fuck out crushed the blunt in my ashtray and made my perplexed friends go home in a rush of pure unadulterated panic
I then retreated into my room closed the blinds and laid on my bed in the dark where I could literally feel tiny insects crawling all over my body.. just typing this all out brings back some of the pure terror I felt.. I would not wish it upon my worst enemy
I eventually managed to fall asleep woke up 14 hours later feeling like pure and utter shit. But simultaneously relieved that the hallucinations were gone
That series of events scarred me in a way and is one of the reasons why I will never stay awake past 24 hours anymore nor will I do meth ever again
LSD is a cakewalk in comparison at least on psychedelics you can kinda convince yourself the hallucinations aren't real... but sleep deprivation + methamphetamine is an entirely different monster
In that state of mind you believe that what you are seeing and feeling is real
And the terror that can cause is unparalleled to me

Yikes , yeah the trips on sleep deprivation are never pleasant at all. They sound all fun and all until it happens to you.

It was horrifying hell even that word doesn't begin to describe it
It was like a nightmare except I was awake
Or was I?
At the tail end of it my entire reality was starting to break down.. I could feel the threads of my sanity snapping one by one
Thank fuck I managed to fall asleep

Could you see it in real time or was it like a frame by frame thing?

Everything that was real was frame by frame but the hallucinations were smooth. Does that make sense?

I remember I stayed up for about 48 hours or some shit before taking a trip to visit my best friend mescalito. Anyway before the trip, I remember being In the car with my other friend and while he was driving and I was in the passanger I would close my eyes and it was like I had no eyelids. I closed my eyes but could still see outside as if my eyes were opened. I thought that was one of my trippiest sleep deprived experiences. I don't fuck around with sleep deprivation tho. Fuck that noise.

i was awake for about 6 days straight which landed me in a psych ward
the weird thing was that i wasnt doing stimulants. i was constantly drinking or trying to smoke weed to fall asleep but i just couldnt. i was also having massive delusions at the time
i havnt updated it in a very long time though, im pretty sure i made this post about 2 months after getting out of the hospital. ive had other insights about the whole event since then but just dont feel like updating that post, i mostly wanna forget about the whole thing. and if it isnt obvious, yeah i was still delusional and manic when i made this post long after being released. ive gotten alot better though, its been over a year and im no longer on antipsychotics or antidepressants. i dont take anything but weed n booze
part of this post is about being awake for a long time, but its kinda long and includes some other stuff that may be irrelevant. dont feel like editing parts out though
Quote:
this post got very long and i feel mentally a lil exhausted typing it. it still feels 'unfinished' cause there are so many strange things still going on in my mind id like anyones insight. i really appreciate anyone who reads this
for those without the time to invest, i do have one direct question. does anyone else have violent and grotesque dreams in which their a bad person and do horrible things like murder in their dreams?
this post isnt just for that one question or anything, i just want to vent out some of the problems im going through and am looking for insight into anything at all and maybe just some sympathy. i'm gonna explain a few very strange events, and strange mind-states that happened to me, chronologically. and kind of what was going on in my mind at the time they happened. im still kind of shaken up by this whole experiance and i really do have a screw loose so ill try to edit this a second time around and make it readable.
about 6 months ago after being perscribed Buspar & trazodone for anxiety/insomenia respectively and, i slepwalked for the first time in my life. and i didnt even discover that i did for about 3 days
i picked up a .22 rifle off of my wall, went outside and started presumably walking or running around. at some point i must have fell and twisted my knee so it hurt for about 2 weeks afterwards, and jammed the rifle into about 4 inches of dirt(didnt learn about that part till i sold the gun to a friend weeks later)
a few days after i slepwalked i just looked up on my wall and notice my gun missing. after telling my momand asking my mom if she knew about and it she didnt i freaking out thinking my gun got stolen. but i found it in the middle of the garage in plain sight, kinda dirty. at this point i freak out and start getting really worried that ive gone insane and my mom is trying to calm me down. a lot of things clicked together at once, like my twisted knee, spots of mud on the floor, etc and it hit me all at once like a brick wall. what if the gun was fucking loaded? if i get get it off my wall couldnt i have loaded it in my sleep too?
at this point im like why of all fucking things would i pick up a gun? im not an angry or violent person at all. im just kinda shy and nice to everyone i meet for the most part. i dont ruminate or hate other people, i just have anxiety/depression issues, but i never feel an urge to run around with a gun or shoot people
well that incident passed and i stopped taking those meds cause i dont wanna sleepwalk and kill someone..
fast forward like 4 1/2 months
i'm working on a government facility installing internet cables for a new building. its a huuge building and the job takes months and i not at home for 2 weeks outta each month for like 4 months
i was drinking a lot my last week there(was a single week stay, so only 4 days of work), mostly getting up at night and drinking and the nights add up and not i havnt slept for 2 days, since the night before i got there. up to this point my work was passable but people noticed i was very 'off', i wasnt talking to aaanyone and i was just staring at the ground when i walked. ill try to explain my mindstate, which was basically a broken record
and what i belive triggered that, was at one point noticed/realized that an acquaintance whom i got a job for, would spit when people said dumb or weird things(me lol). after noticing that and being up for 2 days, i start looking at everything people did and thought about why they were doing it. like i would hear a cough and think oh shit, was he coughing at me? are these people communicating with each other with little movements like blinks and the like?
at this point my mindtstate got really REALLY weird. i could not stop noticing everything people did the last 2 days of work and i became USELESS. i walked around and sat in the same 2 or 3 unfinished rooms in the building, or with my dad who i work with, or walk around attempting to do work, i could barely even clean up other peoples work, everyone on the worksite knew i was on some wierd shit or i was an asshole
on the last day i was completely convinced there was a giant conspiracy to frame me for something that was about to happen, because the people on the worksite were communicating in verbal allegorys and movements. i think i thought this because i never believe the government when it comes to events that are overtelevized on the news, like people shooting up schools, 9/11, boston bombings, similar events etc. i think alot of it is staged , fearmongering by the telemedia. innocent people definately get hurt but there have been a lot of things that dont add up lately.
so i end up not talking to anyone almost at all, and when i did i constantly just said that i was ashamed and that i was sorry i wasnt getting much done at work and that i couldnt focus at all. i was 'playing dumb' with them in my own mind, trying to make my stay on earth a few days longer. i was constantly convinced that a swat team was right around the corner and ready haul me off to a poundmeintheass penitentiary before death-row for blowing up a building or poisoning the water supply or something
the morning of the day we leave, i start admitting to everything i could think of. i was so sure i was gonna be tortured then killed, i just wanted to enjoy my last few hours and have a quick death. my dad says to shut the fuck up were going home soon, but i dont even trust him and i thought the framing was still going on and they needed me to do something before they could pull the pin on operation whateverthefuck
by the time we were almost home, i was blurting out the most outlandish shit to my dad and the 1 other in the car so someone would stop and call the police and find a way to get myself shot up before i went to prison for months before the electric chair. my dad is just trying to calm me down and get me home, i wasnt having it though. we arrive at home and i insist on being taken to a hospital psych ward. remember, im still 4 days w/o sleep here. i throw out "the wrong" answer to every question they asked, i thought at least at a psych ward i can get drugs before they get me
the ward was horrible. they had me on 5 drugs off the bat. lorazepam for a withdrawl program(i admitted to doing all kinds of drugs and drinking a fuckton) risperidone for psychosis, celexa for depression, hydroxyzine for anxiety, and benzatropine for Risperdones side effects. yes, they put me on a fucking atropine analogue. the fuck.
nasty cocktail imo
anyways i think the entire staff and all the patients that are there are still out to get me for something, i thought every sentance was an allegory they were using to talk about me "over my head" and every expression, movement, blink, etc, were directed at me. im such a bad case for them they let me parents come into the ward for like 8 hours a day because i desperately wanted to spend my last days/hours with them. and docters were saying thayd never seen that done before. at some point i start feeling very guilty because i almost felt like i was holding my parents hostage, cause the conspiracy had to have them far away to work or somethin
i always looked forward to meds because they numbed me so much it kept me from spouting off nonsense and wanting to be killed at some point i start feeling very guilty because i almost felt like i was holding them hostage, cause the conspiracy had to have them far away to work or something i wouldnt watch tv because i thought they were just closed circut TVs with a fake news channel being fed to them giving instructions or something, again in allegorys, thats the only word i can think of to describe it. there were trigger words that made me think it was directed at me i could go on and on about my mindstate
after 9 days i sighned myself out, because apparently when i went in, they thought i was trying to get drugs and i sighned myself into the psych ward
since them ive still thought theres a conspiracy out to get me, im learning to 'disbelieve' it, but its not simple and is truely a struggle, but it comes and goes. my family and 2 friends are all that i really trust a good bit of the time, and sometimes i trick myself into thinking they really are out to get me. my main 'delusion' is that i think, that everyone else thinks, that i somehow poisoned my friends or family, or all of the water supply. i dont know why my mind picked 'poison' but it did.
since ive been out ( its a bit over a month as this is written) ive also noticed something, my SSRI gives me dreams now i have very violent and strange dreams. their usually very very weird and im generally a nasty person doing strange and nasty things in them. i personally believe its becuase i play TONS of video games, mant of which involve killing, and watch violent movies a lot. i was so desensitized to violence i laughed at it. i think guilt from my dreams caused by the movies n games might have like convinced my sub-concious that i really had done something horrible.
this post really isnt be done because i could write a whole book about those 9 long days at the mental ward and the time since, but i appreciate anyone who reads this.

Reading these threads about sleep deprivation puts me in a bad vibe, that was the worst part of my entire life to sum it up nicely.
