- meghalc, on 04/26/2009, -1/+28I love sleeping but i do wakeup once every 10-15 hours to check up on digg.
- Ishiguro, on 04/26/2009, -12/+37I love sleep, but I auto bury divine caroline
- xDynaBlade, on 04/26/2009, -0/+21"Continued sleep deprivation can result in trouble concentrating, blurry vision, impaired judgment, and even more severe mental effects"
Oh *****... - tirofiban, on 04/26/2009, -0/+18After a long battle with Super Mutants, I find sleep essential for restoring my hit points in Fall Out 3. But I've long known the value of sleep, every since Alternate Reality The City. I suppose sleep is helpful in real life too.
- wush, on 04/26/2009, -1/+14Sleep? Are you mad? Inane **** on the internet doesn't browse itself.
- CrazySpaniard, on 04/26/2009, -1/+12well now you just jinxed it
- philb0t5000, on 04/26/2009, -1/+11I love sleep. But I also love severe sleep dep. It's like a drug, everything just seems really awesome.
- Elsewhere42, on 04/26/2009, -0/+8Sleep Apnea makes it nearly impossible to get a good night sleep.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_apnea - Aurabolt, on 04/26/2009, -4/+12i'm anxiously awaiting the day i see an article come and go from the front page with 0 comments...
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -1/+9Unlimited cabury cream eggs? ***** yes
- Jarasmen, on 04/26/2009, -0/+8Alright, alright, I get the hint, I'm going to bed already... Seriously, when even Digg reminds you that you're staying up too late, then it's high time to turn off that PC
- breakspirit, on 04/26/2009, -3/+11me too, friend. me too.
- SubjectiveC, on 04/26/2009, -1/+9Sleep deprivation is actually beneficial to a subgroup of the clinically depressed. The more you know and whatnot...
- Megatron4prez, on 04/26/2009, -1/+8surprising? really?
- percypersimmon, on 04/26/2009, -0/+7yea, it is neither timely nor in the least bit relevant. wtf, indeed.
- sarixe, on 04/27/2009, -0/+6I experienced these effects throughout high school, when i was starting to go to bed much later and still waking up at 7:00 each morning. It was hell. Now I'm in college, and the effects of being able to sleep in are ridiculously noticeable.
- SSPink, on 04/26/2009, -1/+6'If I had a choice between something bad for me that I don't need at all and something I need to stay healthy...' Is she seriously this retarded?
And oh boy, another 'sleep is good for you and people don't get as much as they should' story, how original, this is the first I'm hearing of this.
How the ***** did this ***** make the front page? - xDynaBlade, on 04/26/2009, -0/+4Makes everything funny.
- Arsenard, on 04/26/2009, -8/+12This article falls into the same logic trap. It assumes that you know what sleep deprivation is. The fact is it is different for each individual. So the author's assessment is fundamentally flawed. I know a man who sleeps in 4 hour shifts and is the most rested person I know. Me, I sleep 9 hours a night and hope it is enough!! Sailors for centuries slept and worked in 4 hour shifts. Writers of their experiences like Jack London & Robert Louis Stevenson never expressed a complaint of such a regimen. However, writers of the subject today would be horrified. So, what do they know???
- Whatasillyhat, on 04/26/2009, -2/+6My friend told me a story of some DJ who attempted to spin decks for a week straight, 24/7 with no sleep. He got a few days in and lost his mind, and now he's permanently insane...
It's pretty late guys, i'm going to bed... - Philbert, on 04/26/2009, -0/+4With all that sugar you wouldn't need sleep.
- satanherself, on 04/26/2009, -0/+4The Obvious Consequences of Sleep Deprivation....
- subtrafusel, on 04/26/2009, -1/+5I actually watched a documentary-study once about how intentional sleep-deprivation can help aid chronic/major depression. Say like 2 hours a night give or take. It worked better for many of the people than anti-depressants. I can see why, it acts like a drug in a way. Inventors and artists would also intentionally deprive themselves of sleep to enter that drug-like state as according to them it fueled their creativity; made them think in all sorts of ways they hadn't considered. So I think articles such as these are a bit simplistic.
- noughtsInaName, on 04/26/2009, -0/+4I hope that was only meant to scare little diggers into keeping their bedtimes. Otherwise this is gonna give me nightmares
- Pentay, on 04/26/2009, -1/+4I enjoy reading some of the funny ***** people come up with to make light of some of the ***** that happens in the world. It doesn't trivialize it. It makes me feel like more and more people "get it."
- subtrafusel, on 04/26/2009, -0/+3I think it's also the 'mania' aspect described in this article that's part of it alleviating depression. Nothing gets you going quite like some good old-fashioned mania.
- Brassbud, on 04/26/2009, -1/+4I once went a about month with no sleep at all. It was terrible. My body couldn't settle down and I was walking miles everyday despite my body feeling like it was falling apart. I took every sleep medication I could get, Ambien, Xanax, etc, nothing worked. By the end I was pretty much crazy and honestly if a gun was handy I might have done myself in. Needless to say, when I was finally able to start to sleep, I basically didn't move for like 2 months.
- o76923, on 04/26/2009, -2/+5because the US claimed sleep deprivation isn't torture because it has no severe short or long term ill effects. Whereas even in this incredibly layman's article is clearly shows otherwise.
- o76923, on 04/26/2009, -4/+7read page 2 dumbass. It says that the amount varies per each individual, listing a window of 5 to 10 hours (not meant to be exclusive).
- gigi52, on 04/27/2009, -0/+2Sleep deprivation is not a joke. It is a real problem for some people, including me. I suffer from fibromyalgia. Don't know if not being able to sleep gave me fibro, or fibro makes me not sleep. But suffer I do. Not sleeping and severe muscle pain are connected, as mentioned in the article. Memory and concentration are adversely affected. It makes life a living hell. Always tired, always in pain, not able to concentrate, remember, even keep a conversation going. I was surprised that that article did not mention fibromyalgia, as that and chronic fatigue syndrome are so conected to sleep deprivation.
- akchrs, on 04/26/2009, -13/+15"If I had a choice between a year of unlimited Easter candy and a year of unlimited sleep, I’d say “Bye-bye Cadbury” and “Hello, bed!”
idiot. - subtrafusel, on 04/26/2009, -0/+2"He got a few days in and lost his mind, and now he's permanently insane..."
Ah, so that explains at least half the net population. - stonebear, on 04/27/2009, -0/+2It destroyed my life.
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -1/+2people keep digging and commmenting on it - Funny how that works eh?
- Lucast1225, on 04/27/2009, -0/+1Hmm...meanwhile soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan operate on less than 4 hours of sleep for 12-15 months.
Luckily they don't have to make any important decisions. - noughtsInaName, on 04/26/2009, -1/+2Gonna live while I'm alive, I'll sleep when I'm dead.
- TheSeeker11, on 04/27/2009, -0/+1From talkaboutsleep.com:
"Sleep requirements vary from person to person. Some people are naturally short or long sleepers. Thomas Edison, Martha Stewart, and Jay Leno have remarked that they sleep less than five hours a night. In contrast, Albert Einstein and Calvin Coolidge claimed they needed ten or more hours per night. Other well-known people such as Ronald Reagan and Winston Churchill took naps throughout the day.
Some experts suggest that the best way to determine personal sleep requirements is by waking up without an alarm clock. The amount of time spent sleeping would be the personal requirement. Other experts suggest that an ideal amount of sleep is the amount needed to feel refreshed and well rested in the morning and alert all day." - pooqwar, on 04/26/2009, -0/+1Surprising? not really...
- kahoona1, on 04/26/2009, -1/+2You can thank the Nazis for most of what we know about sleep deprivation.
- atromos, on 04/27/2009, -1/+2Yeah it's 2:20 AM right now and after reading that I feel like playing some videogames and smoking more weed.
You failed article, too bad. - jamaster06, on 04/27/2009, -0/+1All I want to know is how did they keep the mice awake?
- ToastyXXX, on 04/27/2009, -0/+1Put them in a bucket of water with only a small island to stand on.
- kdmkdmkdm, on 04/26/2009, -2/+3It's quiet in here... can you hear the echo?
- stonebear, on 04/27/2009, -1/+2I usually do too, but this one is better than usual.
- buckrogers1965, on 04/27/2009, -1/+2You could always just look past the headline onto something else that interests you. That would take about a millionth the amount of time than clicking on the link, reading the article, and commenting on it.
You did read the article, right? You aren't a moron that writes a comment on an article that you didn't read are you? - inactive, on 04/27/2009, -0/+1That's ok , I'd be high as kite.
- sarixe, on 04/27/2009, -2/+3why? this was an interesting read.
- tribowl, on 04/27/2009, -0/+0Night #4:
Everything is moving, patterned visuals are prevalent when my eyes are closed. My pupils are dilating and contracting, and I think I can do either one either way at will.
If I meditate, I completely lose touch with my body. I've been able to retain the altered state of perception induced for an extended period of time.
All drugs I've ingested have seen amplified and modified cognitive and physical effects. Even smoking a cigarette has a lingering effect.
Unfortunately, the bodily side effects are kicking my ass. I just had a hard time walking up a set of stairs, my eyes hurt, my voluntary and involuntary muscles are being reversed (I'm all twitchy and making my heart beat right now, I haven't blinked the whole time I've been writing this ::blink blink::)
The overall signature of the experience is like robotripping while you're high and have the flu; fun, if you can ignore your body (and you like being a schizo). -
