I'm a natural insomniac, something I inherited from my mother... even during high school I wouldn't go to bed until 2 or 3 in the morning, get about 4 hours of sleep and be good to go...

Since I joined the Navy I've learned to get a better sleep schedule, but on weekends i still tend to stay up all night just cause I don't like sleep, I never sleep well, usually waking up in odd positions, rolling around and such...

And it sucks living in Greece cause when I was younger and couldn't sleep, I was a Mama's Boy, since she was always up too, and we used to play video games :D But man, that was a decade ago, crazy how time flies...

Nowandays I'm a bit more resilient to being sleepy, but I am extremely sure that's a really bad sign.

I can keep myself awake aslong as i'm entertained, IE I stayed up all night the day before going to a water park.

I remember once while on camp with Cadets, i stayed awake for four days straight.

i hated everyone and everything

after an entire 24 hours of playing halo i went for a ride with my parents.... i started to see things man...

I had insomnia, progressively from mild to chronic for about 7 years. The worst bits were in the first half of this year, and in particular one where I was unable to sleep for about 4 days. By the fourth, I was seeing flashes of light, shadows flickering in my peripheral vision and hearing odd noises. Various snatches of conversations flashed through my memory as though they were repeating, with people I hadn't seen in months.

Not the most pleasant experience.

You know you could have just went with it, and used a dash of sarcasm instead of getting defensive at a joke.

I was. I was trying to imply that I am a girly looking individual and that my ex-girlfriends all turned me onto penis because they were so bad to me.

Guess my humor was lost... Damn, I'm losing my edge. Let's start this over.

Yes, my name is Mike and I am a homosexual.

Is that better?

Fight Club refrence, I like it.(Not in a gay way, har, har -.-)

mshcherbatskaya:
You know that feeling when you are on an elevator and it just starts or stops? That little "whoops!" feeling? I feel like that continuously until I get some sleep. I also start dreaming while I'm awake. Apparently the dreams are perfectly happy to kick in whether my eyes are shut or not. I also get very noticeable muscle spasms which my friends find very amusing.

Oh my god, I get that to...the dropping feeling

Well damn. Now everyone's just gonna think I'm gay...

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

(that's a reference to something also, and 100 internets to whoever guesses it).

I get that feeling also, Mostly when walking into a new place.

Well, aside from getting very grumpy if i go a few days without proper sleep, i become extremely over emotional, i lose my appetite, struggle to make physical extertions (with one rather glaring exception... i'm not sure why it is... probably due to testosterone over-riding everything else) and start struggling to even speak coherently.

A crazy banana starts to dance and sing something about peanuts and jelly.. its so annoying... oh wait, i just left youtube on...

I get nonsensically philosophical. For example, one time I tried to determine what year Ed, Edd n Eddy takes place in. I've settled on the theory of about 1972.

Generally I get rather tired (!) unable to focus my eyes properly, headaches. The usual.

I'm an Insomniac, medicated, but it barely helps. As of now I've been up for 22 hours, but thats regular for me.

I've heard if you go long enough without sleep you can hallucinate, hasn't happened to me but I've felt pretty trippy before. Sorta like a crash after drinking too much.The longest I've ever stayed up is 70 hours, which I guess isn't a whole lot.

Insomnia isn't fun, especially if you have a day job. My medication turns me into a zombie in the morning, which is only cured with lots of coffee and a cold shower.

Three things happen to me when I'm really tired.

I hallucinate more than I usually do, I get really hungry, and I act drunk (IE my speech slurs, I stumble a lot, hell I sometimes even get headaches.

Fun Fact - If you go 10 days without sleeping, you die.

usually, I fall asleep.

headache, everything is blurry and dizzy, i feel i would hit me head on anything, i start using the wrong words in sentences, i want to hurt anybody that even slightly irritates me.

I once stayed up for a good 2 - 2 1/2 days - after the first 30 odd hours i began to feel sick and after 40 hours i began to lose my balance horribly - falling of my chair (and the toilet too...messy stuff) - last time il ever do that

incoherent babble for a start, uncontrollable bladder later.

42hrs is my record, I just get more and more awake, but with one hell of a headache, I jabber on and on about nothing, and when I finally try to sleep, the pain between my eyes means it takes hours to drop off.

Some of the more entertaining insomniac hallucinations, albeit for other people, includes seeing spotty spiders covering the floor to the point where you try to wade through them when walking. Tons of spiderwebs everywhere and things crawling on your skin as well.

And yes, you do die if you don't sleep for more than a week and a half. Wonder who found that out? Bet it was experiments on POW's somewhere in history...

Fatigue induced Epilepsy, hooray for being me.

When i stay up late i get really tired.

Well, I think my record is somewhere around 3.5 days to 4 days. When I did that I started getting all edgy and ended up punching one of my friends because he got a kill on me... fun times but kinda bad, kid still hates me (don't really blame him though).

I seem to have been gifted with the ability to stay up for days at a time if I have too. you see, for some reason if im tired all i need to do is eat a handful of any snack and I can stay up for hours like I had drank coffee.

I become more twitchy, that's about it...
Tired if i m not doing something easy like gaming =P

Meh. Don't ask why or what reason or anything, but in the past I had serious insomnia, not the normal "oh i don't sleep :much:" those are people with very quick rem-cycles. I mean i didn't sleep for about 2 and a half months. You do begin auditory hallucinations, paranoia, and everything seems like a lucid dream, and require pretty heavy medical help, they'll give youthings to make you sleep chemically although they can't force you to take them, the best sleep :is: natural sleep. They also refer you to a psychologist and a psychiatrist almost instantly when you pass the 3 week line, "or at least that's what i was told".
Oddly enough i :am: one of those people who doesn't require much sleep naturally, "my rem cycle is about 35 minutes" I only need about 3 hours for a full recharge, but if i'm bored or have nothing to do i can manage to stay asleep for as much as 13. "i wake up every 3 hours though".

Loud things hurt my head badly, I can hardly listen to music. And I almost never stop listening to music, so I go to sleep.

I can function on less sleep than a lot of people I know, but I do have a limit. When it is reached, I completely lose my ability to focus on anything. Basically I can't function at that point, so I have no choice but to go to bed. Problem is, I can't focus on the need to go to sleep, so I'm basically in a stupor for 30-45 minutes until I snap out of it and go to bed.

I have transient insomnia so satying up for a couple days doesn't really get to me, but after a while I start to get really annoyed very easily by everything such as a small itch or a chair being just a tad uncomfortable. I also can never find something to keep me occupied/entertained when I'm really tired, I just wanna go the hell to bed, but I can't because it'll screw up my sleeping pattern.
