heh......

on school nights I actually feel more rested after staying up until 1:00 and getting 5 hours than going to bed at 10 and getting 8 hours of sleep.....and forget about anything in between, I'll hardly be able to get out of bed....

but for some reason if I get 5 hours I feel perfectly alert all day until I'm home from school... that's when I konk-out for an hour.... anything much longer or shorter than that, and I don't feel "alert" until after lunch when I don't really need it anymore.

I found out if you go 72 hours without sleep you are as likely to get a hallucination as someone on LSD...I'm so trying it over break.

Have fun - can't say I ever enjoyed it.

I was doing a three day severe fast once. I was staying out in the woods in a green Army pup tent. The second day, I was lying on my back looking up at the tent and I leaned up and looked out the tent fly - everything was red. I wondered if the world was coming to an end, it was so intense.

It took me a while to figure it out. If you stare at a green object and then look at a white surface, you'll see the image of the object in red. I'd been staring at a backlit green sheet all morning and, when I looked out, everything looked red.

oh! i would love doing my shopping at like 3 in the morning! no crowds, no creepy people pushin me around,

You've obviously never been in my local Wal-Mart in the early AM!!

I wouldn't call it a fast but I went without food for two weeks one time when I was about 14 yrs. old.
My mouth broke out in ulcers.  I hate them ulcers, I'm just now getting over a few I have had this past week or two.
It was very distressing and I was very irritable....
I would just sit and watch food on t.v. and wished I could eat it.
If I were to put anything in my mouth, the pain was terrible.  The only thing I could eat was pudding and I didn't have much of that then and or milk.  If I drunk water it would sting and burn!!  No salt, no hot stuff, no candy!!!
But often when I get the ulcers my gums will also swell up over my back teeth (molars).  That's what happen then.

After about two weeks I got to where I could eat some.  Just a little at a time till the ulcers were healed.
But by then my tongue had shrunk and turned a pale white color and I had no strenght to walk fast.  I had to take small steps or I will fall.



Anyways, personally I couldn't do without sleep.  Sometimes I sleep too much, too often.  Mabe only because I need more rest because I am very active outdoors and such.  I have no desire to refuse sleep.  I love snoozing.  ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

yeah...today I may have experienced something like that.

Over Christmas break I consistently got no more than 1-3 hours of sleep per night, for really no reason whatsoever other than I hate sleeping. New Years Eve I was up until about 5:00 am, went to bed, managed to stare at the ceiling and NOT fall asleep, and then got up and had a really early breakfast at 6:15...and last night I didn't get much better sleep, I had a very weird dream involving a very short, homicidal kid I know attacking me with a broken golf club.

I was in English today and we were reading a poem out of the American Literature book...and I was having a very difficult time because it looked as though the words and letters were disappearing off of the page as I was reading them. So I rubbed my eyes, and it was back to normal for a minute.

Then, suddenly (I can't accurately describe this) the words on the page seemed like they were going REALLY fast. Not just what I was seeing, but in my mind I was thinking the words super fast and very loud....like my mind suddenly went into turbo and left me behind.   I kinda involuntarily zipped through the paragraph in record time as a result... went "what the heck?!", blinked a couple times, shook my head, and tried reading normally for a minute before it stopped.

If it had happened for longer, I'm not sure if it would have slowed me down or allowed me to read the page faster (who knows, it could have), but it felt very disorienting...it wasn't quite a hallucination, but it may have been an odd side effect of sleep deprivation

A friend visited me over the weekend and he told me that, one time, when he missed a lot of sleep, he lost most of the use of his right side - as though he had had a stroke.

Once when I had  along bout of bronchitis and couldn't sleep, I got to where  would post on forums and, when I read what I wrote the next day, I didn't recognize it and thought that people were going in and changing my posts (that's called paranoia, BTW).

Severe sleep deprivation is a psychotic condition.

ALright,on topic.Has anyone ever had a run in were you depend on your animal side rather then human?

Yeah,that reminds of this one time that was funny,not dangerous!
It was picture day and me and my friend were going down the hall talking when I heard my friend David running up behind, he was going to tackle this other kid in front of me and without thinking I stuck my leg out at the last second and sent him flying!He landed on his back about six feet from me and was like"Alright,I give you credit,that was good!"I didn't even think "I'm going to trip him",I just did!Weird.

Well,I don't black out when i'm angry,although my vision kinda blurs with rage.And I just get heightened senses and such.But physicaly,I do not change that doesn't mean I rule out the possibility,i'm just unsure of it.

Hmmmm....how old are you? You know, teenagers go through a peiod of aching to painful growth spirts.
