How much sleep deprivation can SWIY take?

[Nicaine]

How much sleep deprivation can SWIY take before it starts really ruining a roll/run/binge?

SWIM guesses two missed nights in a row is where he really starts feeling like sh*t. Even if he's been eating fairly well. His thinking starts to become scattered/random, sort of like it gets right on the verge of sleep. He starts to forget what he was about to do, or starts an activity and then forgets what he was doing. He's basically not very functional at that point. Continued use of substances is nowhere near as entertaining, and starts turning into a necessity to avoid the crash rather than for enjoyment.

Three missed nights (typically into the 4th day), SWIM starts hallucinating. Usually it starts slowly, with auditory hallucinations (sound like thousands of distant people talking in a giant cafeteria) and seeing flashes of light and constant darting movements in his peripheral vision. He will also "zone out" similar to partial epileptic seizures, i.e. suddenly realize he "wasn't there" for 10 or 15 minutes. Thankfully, SWIM has never progressed beyond this point and has always wised up enough to stop the insanity and go to sleep. It's real easy at that point anyway... just lying down for 2 or 3 minutes is plenty, unless he's seriously tweaked out on something (in which case the "high" has become such a low that even then things are winding down fast).

Anyway, just curious what SWIY's experiences are on this subject. SWIM believes that upwards of 70% of binge-related issues are due to sleep deprivation, with another ~20% due to physical effects of the drug itself and maybe 10% caused by inadequate food intake and miscellaneous factors.

Swim finds the same as swiy two nights being maximum after which all enjoyment diminishes . Swim has never hallucinated though well not through sleep deprivation .

What Swim has found is time passes slower when deprived of sleep though.

SWIM is fine having one night without sleep, 2 night and she starts getting paranoid and anything more than that just leaves her feeling like shit no matter how much meth she has had......... But in saying that, if SWIM has regular doses of GHB & enough meth to keep her up there are almost no negative effects of sleep deprivation. GHB, at a low dose (low meaning less than the amount usually needed to get high) makes SWIM feel like she has had a good night sleep.

Ps Swim will report if swim does three nights as he has done two on the trot so far.

SWIM is a lazy motherfucker. He needs his sleep. After say, 30 odd hours, he's useless. Staying awake for too long leaves his mind scattered and weak. Definitely undesirable. He's baffled that people out there actually deprive themselves of sleep, without the use of stimulants, in order to hallucinate for kicks.

if swim stays up(high on tweak), it'll be at least 4 or 5 days before sleep(kinda loopy, throw in a power aid and swims fine), max 14 or 15 days(crazy loopy, brain couldn't think,paranoid, body completely crashed)**Never did that again***could of even been 13. can't really recall.

I've never thought of becoming psychotic as a potential hobby. Interesting.
