yeah, shadow people.

my friend and i were talking about that earlier, way before i even read this thread. heh, weird.




Ah thats pretty interesting. My friend also called them "shadow people", but I thought he was making it up. I never knew there was an actual term, but it definitely explains the type of hallucinations.

I read about a guy while I was taking psychology. They kept him in a laboratory setting & kept him awake for 12 days, drug free. I think by the 8th day he became completely psychotic. By day 12 he was talking in gibberish and obviously having very serious hallucinations. He slept for 2 1/2 days, when he woke up he was as normal as before the experiment.


Lack of sleep isn't deadly, nor will it cause any permanent damage. As far as we know, but the amount of available data on this subject is limited. This was done back in the 70's I believe, now this type of stuff is considered "unethical" so they can no longer conduct experiments like this on human subjects. Well at least not to this extent. You could do it voluntarily but I'd think after you started getting a little lunny, they'd have to let you sleep (due to ethics).

EDIT: I tried looking briefly for a link to the specific experiment I'm talking about, but I couldn't find it.

So did every one of you miss the post recently about the guy who hasn't slept in years? I'm gonna dig that up.

I heard about it, but never saw the article.

So for everyone who has participated in sleep deprivation: what happens to your appetite during long periods without sleep? Do you eat more or do you simply lose your desire to eat?

Personally, I tend to lose my appetite. At 30+ hours, I'm just never that hungry. I'll munch on a random thing or two, but a big meal doesn't appeal to me at all.

ill go on long cross country drives, straight driving for 36 hours+

usually i have to plan it ahead of time so when i start getting really tired around the 20 hour point the sun is comming back up, which spikes my natural rhythm back to wanting to stay awake...

things get really weird, really weird. i remember one night after abot 40 hours i was in some city in s florida, and i thought the whole city was fake, all of the buildings were cardboard cutouts, any door i could have opened would have showed me the truth of the lies...

I was out of my fucking head.... it was kinda scary.

the odd thing is that at some point, (40 some hours) i pass the point of no return, where i physically can not sleep even if i try. at which point i usually have to just drink alot of beer really quick and find a comfy couch..
