@mr76dukestah The assignment was to research an issue that affects society, I just chose to do sleep deprivation because I wanted to do an experiment. I think most people did things that could be researched through surveys and interviews. It was pretty open as long as you could prove that your issue affects society in some way.
I went without sleep for 50 hours once. I was awake a full day before flying from Melbourne to Sydney to L.A. to New York and I didn't get a wink of sleep on any of the flights. At about the 35 hour mark I just went into autopilot mode. It felt like I was watching myself in third person and I was just overcome with exhaustion.
@TrialSounds i kinda played xbox alot then at about 45 hours into it (it was about 5am) i must have blacked out because all i can remember is waking up with my laptop infront of me at about 7am...im gunna try it again but instead getting 7 hours of sleep before the test im gunna try get 12 hours of sleep. i may also try walking round to stay awake and drink something with alot of taurine (monster)
@Musicalfridge That sounds good, but I'd try to stay away from any energy drinks (even if it has taurine) because they all make you crash. Even if you drank them every time you feel tired, eventually you'd just pass out. Otherwise, sounds like a good plan.
im trying it out, i am at 18 hours atm and my main problem is boredom...i have to keep quite so i dont alert my parents so i can only go on my lapptop...its kinda boring, any tips? (:
@Musicalfridge Being quiet is the hardest part, I guess. My parents knew I was doing it, and I sleep in the basement, so that was a problem for me. I played guitar, video games, I tried to read as much as possible. Movies and TV only work for a little while because when you're sitting dormant your body will automatically want to sleep. If you can go for walks, that might work. I also went onto Omegle chat (not video) and talked to strangers for the fun of it. Hope that helps, tell me how it goes
Well last year i had other problems that could have caused it like an irregular heartbeat ive had them both treated with medication :) i tryed staying up last night but fell asleep
@1991Lizzie1991 I didn't know sleep deprivation could cause psychosis. I think it's developed in other ways. However, a lack of sleep definitely wouldn't help.
I hope you're doing all right and getting it treated though (:
@1991Lizzie1991 I guess it depends on the person. But I would say that it would take a great length of days or weeks of 4 hours every night to wear you out enough for hallucinations. But if you aren't getting enough rest, your brain won't be able to function 100%, so if you're still getting some sleep (though not enough) it would just make the process longer.
Are you fucking kidding me? You call that sleep deprivation? Try staying up over 74. I did.

That's a pretty awesome experiment, dude. Major props to ya! Is it mean of me to say that it was also kinda funny? :)

@ZoSo4N71 Not at all aha. I was hoping it would be kind of funny. I didn't want to bore my class, so I'm glad you liked it (:

can you get hallucinations when you have 4 hours sleep everynight?

I'm not sure, but that would seem plausible.
