What Happens to Your Brain After 36 Hours Without Sleep?

Reading all this I never knew it was even possible to stay up for so many hours without sleep.

I'm on the 38th hour of no sleep.

I've passed the bitchy stage, the goofy stage, the feeling light as a feather stage and now I'm just ready for this work day to be over.

I'm still able to read. I've noticed that I prefer reading over listening/watching videos.

OH...I made homemade sausage and potato soup. It was delicious! Also had some peach cobbler.

I couldn't sleep, at all, not even 1 hr, back in 2011 for 5 days straight.

What happened was i suddenly got hit with this shuddering, and extreme weakness instantly at about 11:45pm.

for 5 days, i was awake with an illness that the doc misdiagnosed as Flu.
Was given Tamiflu tablets, which made things worse.

I was an absolute mess and my heart rate was insane, it was so strong it was beating my chest at night.

All i could do was sit or lie down awake but closed my eyes from fatigue, but did not sleep.

anyway, it wasn't Flu, it was a bladder infection that wasn't detected until the 5th day using the dipstick test.

Took a whole month to recover.

Didn't see any aliens during the 5 days or any weirdness at all, just pain and suffering.

Come 2013, bladder had swelled to 3000ml

Mid 2014 Strictures were detected.

Operation in july

September 2014 CKD, half of 1 kidney left.

It all began in 2011.

I've had family members who've stayed up for literally 4-5 days. Ice is the devil. These are former crack head family members so they were used to staying up a while. They said the good thing about smoking crack was that after they spent all their money, and all the crack was gone, they could go to sleep. With Ice they couldn't. They told me they would just sit there trying to sleep. One OD'd on Xanax trying to force sleep. One actually called me after he had been up for a few days telling me people(the shadow people) were in his attic and that they had followed him from the bus. It's a lot cheaper than crack and they would smoke up the same dollar amount meaning they would up for a lot longer.
One eventually died in prison and the other got sober and is doing well.
Nothing good can come of sleep deprivation.

The work day is over but it wasn't that busy. I had enough spare time to put together a new thread!

But it is only 7:15PM. I don't want to go to bed this early or else I'll wake up too early.

I would never fool with the sleeping pattern. I love to sleep 7-9 hours a day.
My sleeping pattern got altered with chemo, ever since I have not slept between 2-3 a.m.,
and it's slowly shifting for an earlier hour. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be able to cutch up and reclaim what is considered normal. :-)
It is very annoying, I can work only afternoon, night shift or from home.

I don't take any drugs - never did, never had hallucinations (except 2x as a kid with 41deg. C temperature - I know how it feels).

This isn't true, as you are not your brain.
I am not an insomniac - I fall asleep within minutes of head on pillow - but since 2010, I no longer need sleep like normal people. (Yes, people do think I'm weird). I do tend to sleep, because a, it's boring being up all the time, and b, I like my visits to other worlds, and I can't do that in the daytime. But I can go 72 hours without sleep, and my yawn reflex vanished. I never feel tired; I feel the same at 4 am as I did 19 hours before, and my reflexes are just as fast.

If you learn to live in higher dimensions while on earth, you don't need much food or sleep. When was the last time your guide or angel told you, 'Better go, I need some sleep'? :)
There is no sleep in higher dimensions.

It's 8:30 PM. I'm off to bed, like a 7 year old.

Thanks for adding to this thread. I've learned a LOT today.

See you tomorrow!

And it is now 11 PM. Up due to tornado warnings.

Has the experiment ended?

I went the whole 100 hours of the Desert Storm ground assault as a tank driver with about 1/2 hour of sleep. It was VERY hard to tell what was real and what was imagined on the battlefield. Sand dunes looked and moved like ocean waves.

I do it sometimes.

18 hours – very sleepy
24 hours – huge amount of mistakes in anything you do. Stay safe – no sharp tools, no driving
30 hours – light hallucinations. For me, it’s somebody silently talking, and still things in the room start “moving”. Interestingly, some things always “move” and others – never.
36 hours – not so sleepy anymore, no more hallucinations. Concentration and attention compromised. Body temperature drops, have to dress warmer, even in summer. And one more strange effect – angry, with no reason.

40 hours – here comes the best part of it. In fact, this is why I’m doing all the thing. For IDEAS. If you had a problem, a solution pops to your head, a good one. If you want to create something – your dress design, a tasty meal, your garden plan, a picture – you’ll invent something that you (and others) really love. You’ll make it later, now you just get the idea.

But that’s not all.
If you were recently reading, let’s say, an article about a mysterious crime, you will suddenly know who did it, or how it happened. I remember once I did not sleep after Breivik shooting in Norway, to keep awake I was watching news, and reading about the event. And then ta-daaa – I just knew how the things happened (very different than the official story by the way). Can’t explain how and have no evidence, but just somehow know it.
I also like google on some people I barely know, and during sleep deprivation I learnt about them much more than google could say – their characters, what they like, how they live. As if I have been living with them for many years.
Or google some place, its pictures – imagine you are there – and again, out of nowhere, you know much more – e.g. it’s cold there now, they have strange food there, and the guy in that house got a fishtank. A grumpy fat lady works in the post office…
People and places were subsequently verified in real life.

Usually at about 50 hours I decide it’s enough. I feel not sleepy at all; just memory, concentration are going nuts. Put salt instead of sugar into my coffee, newspapers in the fridge, and things like that. Don’t laugh 
And it gets colder and colder, so I have to sleep under 2 blankets.

This is a story which should be told on GLP.

I have had periods of heightened correct intuition like this, but not due to lack of sleep or drugs. It's bizarre.

I'm sorry I didn't check this sooner. Yes, I finally got some sleep.
