i get cranky if i don't sleep though and snap at the wife for no reason but our fights have become her saying something that's obviously not correct and me yesdearing her

Thats because drinking can be a repeatable action and you might not have got into a fight before, you can say you did drugs for the first time and work on a deal to attend rehabilitation

not sure if that's fighting enough to the jailers to mind

@TwinVickers weak, when I don't sleep I hallucinate that there are shadow people outside my window at 5AM

yeah i get that after 72 hrs

One time I saw a deer that had a neck like a giraffe when I was sleep deprived

or three nights not slept

fucking weird

once after a huge bender i tried to sleep but couldn't because a creature kept jumping on the bed

oof

I just did a 36 hour day and that was awful

Once I stayed up for 9 days with a machete in the corner of my room because I thought slender man was going to kill me

I can't imagine 72 hours

I thought I was at the bottom of a hotel swimming pool

by day 6 or 7

after about 40 hours they all take about the same effort to stay awake

idk who else gets this, but i always find the night hours easier to stay awake during than the day ones

not sleeping messes with my immunity response too much these days

Saaaane @zalfir

During the night I don't want to sleep

During the day I wish I was asleep

messes with your digestive cycle and appetite, puts extra wear on your heart

causes memory loss due to lack of REM

If you look at a brain that is sleep deprived you see low levels of brain damage

Less synaptic shearing, buildups of brain plaque

interferes with the ability to learn unless it's using pathways you already have (ie. learning a new programming language when you can already program is ok)

i'm on so many meds i get that regardless. i forget what words mean

basically it fucks your brain up in a very serious way that looks somewhat like a very mild case of dementia or alzheimers'

or know the meaning but not the word

everyone gets that to some extent

apparently alz can only be really diagnosed post mortem

particularly over 30

i'm 38

we're near the same age

i used to abuse benadryl so I'm probably gonna get dementia by age 40

i did a lot of dxm as a kid

dxm is also pretty bad for you if you use it frequently

4th plateau and beyond too many times

i experimented with LSD quite a bit, as well as reprogramming myself socially so i could make eye contact and say what i meant

Ah, I did none of that because I am not a socially awkward degenerate

yeah, your syntax clearly says that about you
