just got about 4 hours of sleep. What a difference. Can think a bit more clearly now. Just what the hell happens during sleep that if you go more than 24 hours without it, you start to lose your mind?

Interesting fact . . .
- The record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon. The record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses

and here is at least one benefit to insomnia . . .
- After five nights of partial sleep deprivation, three drinks will have the same effect on your body as six would when you've slept enough
(so apparently with isomnia, you can save money!!)
