sleep deprivation

[Crimzen]

acid could DEFinately be used for torture, especially if it was used on someone who hadnt taken it before as they'd probably think they were going insane
and my mind on acid is...fragile i guess you could say
so you could really fuck someone up doing that 4 sure

sleep deprivation is a bad thing
you cant use it on yourself the same way its used to torture people as you will just pass out when your body has had enough
with the torture method they use strobe lights and other things to make sure you stay awake

you can die from lack of sleep, i think the record was 9 days straight (without drugs other than coffee i believe) and they died in the hospital
even someone with insomnia couldnt go a week straight without drugs
you fuck yourself up from not sleeping enough its how your body recuperates and heals itself, sleep has many many uses and its a need for humans just as air water and food are

"you can die from lack of sleep, i think the record was 9 days straight (without drugs other than coffee i believe) and they died in the hospital"

the record is years not days.

according to Chris Idzikowski, an expert working at Edinburgh Sleep Centre, it would take AT LEAST a year to kill you

 

[Crimzen]

well its just what i heard

i dont think you could do a year though...

The record for contiunual sleep deprivation was recently reported as 11 days . Who , when and where has someone stayed awake for years at a time ?


Please explain why sleep deprivation is used a s torture ?

What have i said thats not right , not usefull or ofensive ? What do you disagree with ? Why are you acuseing me in the way you do ?

The answers to your questions can be found on the Wikipedia page about sleep deprivation (already mentioned) and in the video featuring Chris Idzikowski (already posted). The record is indeed years, not days, and sleep deprivation has been used to make people talk.

Thank you . Yes indeed the answers are there and they are exactly what i said . See :-

Tell me why they only talk about 2 cases of people who had claimed not to have slept for years out of the whole human race ? Then read the word claim and then the proven facts about the people who had made claims like that and had been tested in a sleep lab . Even if it is true its irelevant to the effects of sleep deprivation on the mass of people on the planet .

Remember the thread is about deliberately / voluntarily staying awake and the effects . Its not about people who have or claim to have sleep problems and dont get enough sleep .

So now tell me where i`m being a troll and why ?

 

[GOD]

Are you all sleeping or hiding because you were all talking shit and i showed it ?

I've done 2 days and nights, no drugs other than a bit of caffeine now and then (it was just school days mayhem), felt pretty odd by the end, and slept for half a day

Playing with threshold wakeness interests me more now.

Try eating a large plate of porridge, sweetened with sugar. If you eat enough, you will start feeling very sleepy within an hour. When it starts feeling irresistable, take a nap. Good chance that you'll have an incubus or succubus experience. It's much like Salvia or a lucid nightmare.

 

[significationof?!?]

Betadius' report reminds me of both anticholinergic delirium and a nasty bout of fever. Both are neither fun, nor enlightening, and I can imagine sleep deprivation to fall in the same category.

The 8 hour sleeping pattern was invented during the industrial revolution? lol...

And there's more options then agreeing with you or being a programmed machine (which to a certain degree we all are).

"Sleeping Is Like Laundering Your Brain but not in a bad way . Sleeping regenerates the body and also reduces the size of synapses, which are thus ready to start anew the next day

The human brain is, indeed, a perfect construction, researchers have recently said, after the results of a new study detailing the changes that go on in our synapses while we sleep have been published. It would appear that sleep, other than being comforting for the mind and for the body, also helps our brain function better than it would if we were to stay up for several days. Synapses have the most to gain from us resting, because they increase their size and processing abilities throughout the day, in order to handle the large volume of information we collect from our environment.

However, if the process were continuous, then there would be a very good chance for at least some of these inter-neural connections to fail. As such, the brain takes the opportunity of sleep to diminish the flow of data through synapses, allowing them to reduce their volume and become prepared for another day of heavy processing. It's important for them to remain in check, because they would otherwise end up consuming a lot of power and working ineffectively for even the most basic tasks, a behavior that is very similar to that of electrical circuits, in some conditions.

We know that sleep is necessary for our brain to function properly, to learn new things every day, and also, in some cases, to consolidate the memory of what we learned during the day. During sleep, we think that most, if not all, synapses are downscaled: at the end of sleep, the strongest synapses shrink, while the weakest synapses may even disappear, Associate Professor of psychiatry Chiara Cirelli, a researcher working with the Center for Sleep and Consciousness at the Wisconsin-Madison School of Medicine and Public Health, explains.

Much of what we learn in a day, we don't really need to remember. If you've used up all the space, you can't learn more before you clean out the junk that is filling up your brain, she adds. Together with her team, Cirelli has found that sleep allows for the downscaling of synapses and also clears the brain of all the unnecessary noises it records during the day. That's not to say that it erases memories, but simply bits of information that will never be relevant again."

When I am really tired i start seeing things in the corners of my eyes. When this starts to happen is time to go to bed for me. I never stayed up past that point. I don't remember staying up more then 2 day's. I always take time to sleep, even if it's a little nap.

A friend who stayed up very long, told me he started seeing penguins standing beside the road.
But I think he was on stuff to keep you awake or maybe not. I don't remember.
