Sleep deprivation, or just simply not going to bed- Classic or Dudd?

Wizzle

CSI is kewl they had vom-cam once, and bullets made of meat

Lack of sheep, surely.

"whooo-oo are you/ oo-oo / oo-oo"

but rather than chide ye may i put forward the confection that REPEATS (saturday for 24) are merely the subconscious reruns of events in characters' sleep

what is this "video" you speak of?

I can't discern any noticeable difference in my diet the days I have lucid dreams and those I don't; maybe it's random.

Good dream, though, Laura -- I was supposed to hear a lecture at the 92 St Y when I lived there (which was only for four months, and school related) but I skipped.

My mom had minor surgery a few months back. When I was home over Christmas, I noticed she had never finished the Vicodins she was prescribed, so I uh, borrowed a few. Man, those things gave me the craziest, most intense dreams.

Lord I still have a ton of work to do... no sleep for me... no sleep.

I think I'm gonna get loopy enough soon. Drinking caffeine would mean getting up and getting in the kitchen and doing stuff!

I vaguely remember something form my psychology classes in college about different phases of sleep - like, REM is the third stage or something, right?

I once stayed up for four days and my friend's fiance, who was an EMT, told me that was a good way to kill myself. I'm sure he was just trying to scare me but now I only do one, two days max.

But yeah, as much as I love sleep, I cherish the quiet and solitude of the night, so I often stay up through the night. Those purple spots - usually between 5 and 8AM, when it's too early for work and too late to commit to sleep - are a bitch until that second wind kicks in. Then its smooth sailing till lunch time

Bleh. I'm definitely going to have to stay up. I already feel pretty, well, bleh!

pass out early --> have nightmare/vivid dream --> wake up at ungodly hour with anxiety attack --> eventually fall back to sleep --> another nightmare/vivid dream --> latherrinserepeat.

I say all this because there WILL be times when I won't make a bit of sense whatsoever and I want it to be known that it's all due to this feeling of being utterly brain-dead that will sneak up on me from time to time. Now, I will click "Submit", shuffle off to bed, and wake up tomorrow morning regretting yet another post. (Ha, so I suppose my answer here is "dud", though it's definitely been working so far in my life.)

anyway, the main reason i clicked on this thread was to get some ideas for staying up:

a. for the world series and
b. for the presidential election

as both, on this side of the atlantic, at least, are all nighters.

in good news i have next wednesday off so i can pretty much sleep during the day, although i do have to go to our principal's leaving do in the evening...

I still like getting drunk, only getting three hours sleep and then being all wired and hungover though.

and also live WWE pay-per-view events.

I should really sleep at normal hours more, but staying up late is so much more fun!

Cyrus is just 3 months old and has slept through the night once so far in his life. That means I'm up every night, usually at least twice, sometimes 4 or 5 times, breastfeeding him or convincing him it's night and not day. I find that sleep deprivation is cumulative. I definitely start getting crazy, literally.

When I get really overtired, I find it hard to sleep. Like tonight. What am I doing up this late? (Rufus gets up every morning between 5 and 6, so this is the time to be sleeping.)

But sleep deprivation is a cool drug, too. Some of my most inspired moments have been under the influence of no sleep. I've also had very euphoric times on no sleep, usually following an irritable phase. I guess sleep deprivation brings out the bipolar in me.

(By the way, has there ever been a band called Bipolar Bear?)

Scott gets scared of me when I haven't slept enough over a few days and tries to force me to nap. Kinda like the time I had to force feed a diabetic a banana.

That lady who drowned her kids in the bath tub probably went crazy from not sleeping.

I'm babbling because I haven't slept enough.

One thing I notice now is that I feel drunk on 2 beers when I haven't slept enough.

few years ago i was getting off of this pharmaceutical i had been on for a few years and i was having trouble sleeping, and after several days it caught up to me in this weird way. for an entire day i would get these flashes of broken memories of half-remembered dreams or would-be dreams encroaching into my daytime discursive thought process. it was really unsettling. luckily i ended up in social circumstances that night that involved drinking a bunch and i think that went a long way to save my sanity from whatever untoward temporal lobe incursions were happening to me that day. the next morning and ever since i've been just fine in that dept.

until today... i didn't sleep much last night, which is not so so unusual i guess, but for the past several hours i have been getting those flashes again. like one part of my brain is trying to dream while the rest of me is trying to manage the daily activities.

i don't think it's anything that a long nap wouldn't solve, so this isn't internet-driven hypochondria, but, i'm curious, has anyone ever experienced anything similar? the previous time it happened it was really disturbing, because the flashes became more and more frequent, and it was really weird b/c there was this whole other life that part of my brain kept pushing for? And like even as I type this I keep getting flashes of memories that aren't anything corresponding to everyday life, they have recurring characters and themes that are just out of reach, like a fever dream or something.

but to be realistic it can probably be safely attributed to m83 and ghost pepper salsa and whatever porn i looked at last night.

sorry, is that too little information? it's hard to process things when one of my temporal lobes is being all "in your face" and said face is the other parts of my physical organism

in short i blame ed ball and anthony gonzalez' surreptitious inclusion of binaural beats in their music. i should have stuck to moodymann just like i never should have forsaken country crock. case closed!!

i used to get something like this when i was in high school and had recently discovered this thing 'staying up all night' and was pretty excited about it and used to do it for no reason two or three nights a week. i used to call it 'verbal hallucinations' because i'd be in a conversation with e.g. a teacher and then start responding to things happening in the dream that was going on simultaneously - so I'd start talking about the squirrel I could 'see' in my dream rather than the homework I was meant to be explaining.

hah, ok thanks glad it's not just "me"

just weird b/c i used to fuck around with staying up all night in college or whatever but never experienced this until aforementioned thing a few yrs ago and today. yeah, it's like part of the brain is insisting on dreaming. guess my brain is less adaptable with onset of old age??

it's fascinating to me b/c it seems to be snippets of some interview i read last wk, and the recollections of the interviewee are so vivid, but only for just a brief second but it's so tantalizing b/c it seems to involve this whole cast of characters, and the themes are repetitious and insistent, i wish i could nail them down more. maybe it would yield some legit insight into persistently troublesome areas of my life or something.

would "smart drugs" help? or cannabis or ketamine or mushrooms or dxm? something to nourish the brain? cos it would be awesome to be there while the other part of my brain is doing these things

b/c when i'm awake i mostly think about what i might eat next. i need drugs that badly!!

sleep well my sweet prince

thanks man. success, incursions have stopped. at this genuinely threatening rate of life-success i will be prez by 2016. god bless america. or any other country ya can't spell w/o "dell"
