I have never experiences this, having gone 40 hours with-out sleep on some occasions, the most I have felt is irritable.

[Itnetlolor]

Apparently if I ever have some sort of condition sleep-related, or am just plain sick, my game memories take over (based on latest, or heaviest impact-games) and that's how the inside of my mind will show up when I'm fixing the issue. Fortunately, it's only especially relevant when I actually do sleep.

Last time I was really sick (kudos to a black mold infection; already fixed), I also got really far into S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and got into the really interesting missions where things started to get weird. I also ran into numerous bloodsuckers and controllers and etc.. Let's just say, my mind and the ruins of my body while I was out cold for a few days ended up pitting me in a STALKER rendition of how my body has become (my head being the final portion of the game, of course). It got pretty interesting, since as I was racking up more kills in that pocket reality, I was getting better IRL. But of course, this is still essentially STALKER I was playing inside my mind, and I fortunately had the quicksave button in my head; plus, the difficulty wasn't that much different.

Just similarly, I've been pointed out that I've been lacking sleep, or at least looking like it by my perspective (my sleep schedules haven't really changed, but other observations have got me second-guessing and worrying about it, which makes it even worse, because NOW I must SHOW progress of getting better, instead of letting nature take it's course. Maybe I ate bad food, or not enough. Let me worry about it and take my course of action which has been reliable, though time consuming.). Kinda a side effect of not having much money, and having to switch priorities from eating to paying the bills (or at least resorting to rationing). But after playing quite a bit of Fallout3, my mindscape changed scenery to the Fallout universe. 50s-style tech and everything. What sucks about some of these dreams is that I can't wake up unless certain conditions are met or something, or I figure out how to access the console, and execute a "wake up" command or exit the game.

In any of those kinds of the dreamscape, the first thing I do once I go lucid is find a way to cheat, or bring up a console, or have my soul hack into my brain (or brain hack into body), and find a way out (through a bit of hacking), so I can exit by will when the time comes. It's really frustrating when you usually sleep for 7 hours or so, that a dream keeps you asleep for up to 11+ hours because it doesn't want to let you out unless you tie up a loose end, and not give you hints on how to fix it or what the loose end was in the first place. I'd like to sleep-in by will, not because a dream world decides to be an asshole.

I have avoided sleep for long periods of time, but I haven't really hallucinated that much. The worst thing that happens is red and blue sparkles flying around my vision that form some weird wormy thing with red circles in it. Very weird.

I also tend to ramble and talk about the most random things when I am tired, too.

I also tend to stop talking in the middle of a sentence and finish the rest in my head. I also tend to crack up pretty easily.

Yeah, I laugh at stuff that really isn't funny when I'm sleepy, too.
I don't know how my friend whom I walk to school with in the mornings doesn't hate talking to me yet.

It's late at night and I just played Amnesia for a couple hours. I can hear breathing behind me sometimes and my vision is moving like is does on low sanity.

Haven't been sleep-deprived enough to have legitimate hallucinations before. I'm tempted to stay up for a couple days straight, just for "fun," but I haven't had anything interesting enough to do.

I would be terrified if I had any hallucinations of Amnesia flavor. Although I haven't progressed far beyond the wine cellar in that game, I cannot help but gather that those empty armoires I keep finding are meant for hiding in...

I was going to stay up for 48 hours with no caffiene as a test of will, but it was so damn boring. You would be surprised how little there is to do in the 7+ hours you sleep. Tv tropes helps, just surfing the site is enough to keep me awake for hours.

What?! How does those 7 hours you sleep differ from those 17 hours you are awake?

If you have enough things to do on those hours you are awake, you should have enough during those you normally sleep.

Yes, but you cant exactly run around town at 4 am with out being arrested, and If you have family/ roomates its hard to do every thing you want with out waking them. (I know, Ill just watch an action movie! *movie begins playing* Hey, turn that shit down!) Its also very easy to get burnt out on video games, and the forums arent very active that late at night. Its just odd having that extra time and having nothing to do.

Well at least around here you can run around town any time you want without getting arrested. Sleeping roommates/family are problem though.

Headphones are a miracle of modern technology.

Kind of curious as to where you get's you arrested by being out during night 

[jc6036]

 Northern U.S.A, if your out past 2 am, the police here will take you and plop you in the drunk tank, but if you give a satisfactory explanation, they wont arrest you in the first place. My town has been described as "a small town with big city problems" and the law here is trying to crack down on drugs

72 hours maximum (huge lan party with no windows, you lose ALL sense of time), but another time when I was at about 50 hours without sleep, I was having lunch at university, and this child's voice came from a carton of milk. Creeped me out.
