What does one experience when they go without sleep for days at a time?!


Question: What does one experience when they go without sleep for days at a time?
My boss suprised me earlier yesterday when he asked me to come in and work a double shift in order to train some new guy. I needed the hours, so I hid the fact I hadn't slept at all yet - I'm going on 26hrs no sleep right now.

Sitting here at work alone at 2am, I've been having some weird things happen to me.. I hear things that arn't there, I'm getting paranoid for no reason (worked the GY shift for 4 years, it normally never bothers me) and the most irritating is I keep seeing these white flashes out oft he corner of my eye making me think the liught in the pool room is on, or the TV is on (and its not) and I went outside to have a cigarette and I thought Ii saw a huge black thing flying above me (obv it was nothing) and more stuff...

If this is happening to me after only missing 26hrs of sleep... what kinds of things could a person experience if they go 3-4 days without sleep? I'm not going to try it (lmao no way) I'm just curiuous.. plus Y/A is helping me stay awake

Answers:

So there is a distinct pattern of motter skill and cognative fatigue that sets in after like 32hours.
Anytime after that gets dangerous. U can see thiings that aren't there so sneek in a nap

Oh and in case u are bipolar sleep loss can trigger mania
