What Happens to Your Brain After 36 Hours Without Sleep?

You can die eventually without sleep.

I don't think they push the conscripts that hard in our military. Most likely a made-up story.

Interesting. a major sync just occurred for me - found an old message hidden in amongst many others, while looking for something else, as it usually happens, and there it was confirming what I guess I knew already.

truth is rarely given to me, i usually have to beat it out of them (figuratively) lol working on that.

Death or a seriously debilitating condition and open to mind control and immune system is whacked out opening oneself up for all sorts of things. that's waht frequency weapons do when used to alter sleep patterns or cause constant insomnia removing all rem sleep healing time. obvious results. anyway don't know what you guys and girls are talking about really but thought I would comment anyway.

Wow, stumbled upon this excellent article:

Why Sleep Deprivation Eases Depression


Sleep deprivation is a quick and efficient way to treat depression. It works 60 to 70 percent of the time—far better than existing drugs—but the mood boost usually lasts only until the patient falls asleep. As an ongoing treatment, sleep deprivation is impractical, but researchers have been studying the phenomenon in an effort to uncover the cellular mechanisms behind depression and remission. Now a team at Tufts University has pinpointed glia as the key players.

the connective tissue of the nervous system, consisting of several different types of cell associated with neurons.

The rest of the article is even more interesting:

I'm no expert but from what I learned there's no benefit to be gained. When you stress the body with sleep deprivation it's a form of torture.

yeah just an average day for me, umm and night.

Well, I'm not forcing myself not to sleep. My sister has moved in with me and it has thrown me off of my routine, for the time being.

So, instead of whining about it, I thought I would learn something.

Huh?

I've stayed up for 6 days and it was one of the worst experience in my life. After 3 days you are barely human, head feel swelled and numb. I was waking up to 4am to go to my job and my psychopatic ederly neighbour was screaming, hitting on metal tubes and watching tv with max volume all the night. I had to leave my job to try to reclame my sleep pattern.

When I used to smoke meth I once stayed up for 6 days straight without 1 min of sleep. By day 4 I was in a different reality. Thank God I quit over 3 years ago and never looked back. Not good for you. That said I did see and experience some truly unreal shit that to this day I don't quite understand.

Thread: It's time to wake up now Brian!!!!

i learnt some deep shit about 'what' sleep is, and why we need it (compared to most wild animals that go into a much lighter and shorter sleep patterns) from this guy-


(he holds the world record for staying up -11days -i use to stay up with him, i did 6days once with him in cornwall)

i also have had experience with it from vipassana meditation which by the end of 10day course, not sleeping is common (and heightened state)
im convinced its true that our 'pre-fall' healthy state we wd not sleep much, or lightly, and reckon as tropical beings we'd spent alot of night-time connected to the stars (like the ancients seemed infatuated by too)
-but this is the natural being -the natural healthy being not living the way we do here in babylon (ie we were living in the 'Moment' -being guided by senses/instincts more -so minimal 'imagination' -which is what the technique of vipassana shuts down -the pure teachings of budha)
: )

That is one of the best ads EVER!

Reminds me of the time I got into some trucker pizza , jesus Christ I stayed up for 7 days straight although I only remember the first 3 . When I woke up after my binge I was in a abandoned cabin in the woods 20 miles form where I lived . I had shoes on but other wise butt naked , I found a old coat and walked home only to find every piece of furniture I owned in the back yard . The house was completely empty ! My neighbor told me he watched me move it all out 3 days prior and I told him that elves who lived in the walls wanted it all out so they could clean .

Still have no idea where my clothes went or how I ended up in that cabin.

you too, fool!
it is "brane"

also, never confuse with "brine"

fatal-familial-insomnia

I suffered an injury that caused me extreme acute pain for a decade before finally taking my leg off.

During this time I when through prolonged periods without sleep I can't tell you exact time frames because it was at times surreal, best guesses my wife claimed she hadn't seen me sleep in a month.

It wasn't until the limb was removed and my pain levels dropped to levels of normality that I was able to get regular sleep, to this day it's not unusual for me to go 48-72 hours without sleep it is now part habit, a habit I would happily stop if I could.

Very stressful. Kills faster than starvation. Don't be around loved ones--don't be around anyone. Chinese used it as a form of torture. If you can't sleep, be sure to have a few benzos on hand when you decide you must sleep or die.

I'm four minutes into the video. Fascinating stuff! I also bookmarked 'Vipassana meditation'

Thank you.

If I go 36 hrs without sleep my brain will shut down and force me to sleep. No amount of caffeine or stimulants can keep me awake.

Not sleeping makes my depression far worse

I would've thought so, too, but there is this to consider:

In the new study, published online January 15 in the journal Translational Psychiatry, the scientists investigated whether this process is responsible for the antidepressant effects of sleep deprivation. Mice with depressivelike symptoms were administered three doses of a compound that triggers adenosine receptors, thus mimicking sleep deprivation. Although the mice continued to sleep normally, after 12 hours they showed a rapid improvement in mood and behavior, which lasted for 48 hours.

The results confirm that the adenosine buildup is responsible for the antidepressant effects of a lack of sleep. This finding points to a promising target for new drug development because it suggests that mimicking sleep deprivation chemically may offer the antidepressant benefits without the unwanted side effects of actually skipping sleep. Such an intervention could offer immediate relief from depression, in stark contrast with traditional antidepressants, which take six to eight weeks to kick in.

I get paranoid. I start to see things moving at the corner of my eye.

For me, 36 hours will be at 9PM CST.

I go 48 or more hours without sleep a few times a month. I do not like sleep because it gets in the way of things I want to do. I defeat it with 10 or more cups of coffee per day. I do some of my best work at that 30 hour mark and up. I would not drive like that, but I don't have to either. I used to have to drive in such a state and still amazed to have lived through it without hurting myself or anyone else. Never had a single hallucination of any kind.
