Current Events > 43 hours without sleep and I'm starting to see stuff.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not full on vivid hallucinations. I just keep seeing movement in my peripheral. It's super distracting. Just need to make it four more hours and I can rest.

That Rockstar I had about two hours ago did not help at all. I don't drink them often but I thought I'd need some help to make it through this shift.

But why?

Sometimes night shift and daylight stuff conspire to rob you of your sleepy time.

I was tired after work yesterday but had to stay up and handle a bunch of stuff. That kept me up and focused long enough that I simply got over it.

I actually had a few hours to get some sleep before work tonight. But after I got in bed I was wide awake and it just wasn't going to happen.

Yes you hallucinate when sleep deprived and it only gets worse the longer you go

Get some sleep

Before I got my sleep apnea treated Id hallucinate shadow spiders. Some small and some the size of my room. Or sometimes Id see moving shapes like my brain was trying to create the image of a spider but it forgot how.

Get some sleep

I will. Just need to make it through this shift. It's 4:43 right now. I'm off at 8.

i was up for a really long time once - can't remember how long - because i had pulled an all-nighter and then i discovered retrojunk.com. it wasn't so much that i started hearing voices, but the voices i was hearing didn't sound right.

I had my schedule set up just so that I had to be awake for an entire week once. It did not go well. I made it for five days and then I got pneumonia.

Now, many years later, I have trouble even staying up more than one day.
