What Happens to Your Brain After 36 Hours Without Sleep?

When coming off Ambien, I went 4 days without sleep.

No joking.

On the fourth day I called my doc, told him, and he put me on 300mg of Trazodone.

Now I'm down to ~200 mg Trazodone every night, and still weening.

I feel great.

So hang in there OP.

God Bless and good luck to you.

I wondered how my cabin got ransacked.

Hey, why dint you use the toilet instead of the sink?

The hallucinations and out of body sensations go away after the first few times or at least I just got used to it...

My longest day with only the tiniest naps was 72 hours and I have routinely done 2-3 24 hour days a week.

I would say that the weirdness starts at around the 24 hour mark but it's easy to get used to.

I did 72 hours at the end of college then went to a class with hundreds of students. I COULD CLEARLY SEE ALL OF THEIR AURAS AND IT MADE IT VERY EASY TO WHICH PEOPLE WERE VERY DIFFERENT FROM OTHER PEOPLE. It may also help you quickly identify who is human and who is not. Idk though. Just sharing what i personally experienced without any prior research or prep for the experience.

What's the most you've slept in any given week?

In a 3 day span I slept thru 3/4ths of it.

I love dreaming, no matter how batshit crazy the dreams get..

My work record is 40 hours straight, only smoke breaks and food breaks.

I pulled a few 30-36 hour shifts a decade ago or so as well.


Secret, love what you do. :P

Imagine seeing 100s of auras simultaneously without even trying. Thats what happened. I would saw this benefit/ experience was worth the risk!

No naps at all. Adderall + magnesium (to increase absorption of adderall 4-5x!).

Please be careful. Science is your friend

In my younger days in college I went 5 days while popping amphetamines. By the 5th day I was having visual hallucinations. IT was not fun. I think I slept for 24 hours after that.

One time in college I stayed up all night studying and the next day stayed up till around midnight. The night after the all nighter I went outside and looked up and hallucinated a red laser pulsate from me into the sky. It was pretty cool but i knew then that i really needed some sleep!

It was probably real lol

We have a band of energy (like a chord) that is attached to our astral body

And you're not the first person to say this

A friend of mine had the same experience while on Ibogaine with a white light (a root from Africa that re-aligns chakras and cures all addictions when taken in the right dose)

No .

The guiness record is like over 10 days and besides being restless actually nothing major.

We have to give our mind/brain a rest. I mean, we have to rest our body or we could die of exhaustion if we kept on and on without even sitting down for a moment. That is what it is like without sleep. We keep our mind marching and marching on without a rest and go crazy and eventually will die. Sleep is so important.

OMG.LOL! I am surprised your neighbor didn't call the cops to take you to a psych facility.

The handy cure was designed specially for the Home Healthcare market to relieve pain and treat a wide range of symptoms. It combines low-level pulse laser radiation, pulsating infrared radiation, visible red light, and static magnetic fields in one device, to provide synergistic therapeutic effects.

There was a study that came to the conclusion that if one keeps even healthy volunteers up long enough, they will develop symptoms of Fibromyalgia.

Some of them develop Fibromyalgia symptoms in as little as one night of sleep deprivation.

The body can't relax properly so everything starts to hurt. Some people don't even relax when they sleep so they still hurt. Finding out where stress is coming from and dealing with that will help a lot.

For sleep I take the amino acid L theanine. Amazing stuff. Also take it in morning with coffee to work with more focus and calmness -- it really works.

First pearl of my over-extended time of wakefulness:

When in bathroom, don't fall. Turn on light.

I've went 72 hours without sleep before.

No hallucinations or anything. I just didn't feel tired after a certain point its like my body reset to the new normal.

Stay hydrated. Your body loses 3x more water when its under stress. I attribute my success to that.

lucid dreaming.
You can do it without staying awake 2 days in a row. You can also train your brain to get better.

There are many studies that show the effects on your brain from not sleeping and staying up all night say cramming for tests. It's not good for your brain for 24 hours so it can't be any better for 3 days. You want to see some shit your looking for try dmt

two words: Shadow People

Ive used modafinil. Incredible stuff when working horrific night shifts.

Here's the article
Less then 50%

Researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden put 15 young, well-rested and healthy men through a night of total sleep deprivation. When they tested their blood the next morning, they found higher concentrations of the enzyme NSE and S-100B—both biomarkers of cell damage in the brain that could lead to cognitive problems and memory loss.

So like I said try dmt and don't damage your brain staying up all night it's just not as cool as you think

72 hours into, I felt a large suction noise and my body being lifted up, like a rapture.

Suddenly I found myself on a dirt road and near some buildings, people were running. Women had babies strapped to their backs. I tried to figure out what they were running from and was going to take off but where?

People were dying. I panicked and didnt know if I wanted to flee left or right.

The suction noise came back and I was lifted up again and restored to my hallway, back at home

A few days later the event I saw made worldwide news and I even identified the exact location I was at. I identified the buildings and the streets. Somehow, someway I was there across the ocean, across the continents. If only for a few seconds.

Why do we dream, do you think?

sorry, but i just had to close that vid down, because my sides were aching

I once stayed up for 3 days writing a econ research paper.

At the end, the walls started to melt and my brain started to drift of onto really odd tangents. Then I think I started having afib due to too much dexedrine, nicotine and coffee...

I thought I wouldn't wake up ever again.

Last time I did that.

Now can you imagine what meth heads go through?!

i've gone 72 hours. my imagination mixed with reality causing hallucinations, like PC monitor and keyboard to melt and flow like liquid.. not recommended

went 48 hours in reception at ft benning it sucks.
