Not sleep deprivation, but some kind of severe heatstroke combined with dehydration. I had woken up late that day, rushed to the bus stop carrying my heavy work bag. I didn't drink or eat anything. It was a very very hot day, and the bus was late. Sooner or later I started to see stars. "No problem" I thought. "I can handle it."
Then the stars got worse. I got literally blind. Fully conscious, but with so many stars in my vision that I couldn't see anything. I panicked, and I walked back inside, sacrificing my good position in the bus line. My legs were shaking and I was probably walking like a drunk. Somehow I got up a flight of stairs and into a convenience store. I crashed into their fridge, then tried to stick my hand through the glass door to get one of the cold bottles of water. It took me half a minute to figure out that I had to open the door, and I pulled it and it wouldn't open, turns out that it was a sliding door. I was still completely blind with stars. Then I waited in line patiently, there were around 5 other people, and I paid for the water. Then I walked all the way down to the bus stop, using the blind people's textured floor things. I waited for several minutes before I realized that I could drink the water now. After finishing all the water I desperately needed to piss, and the water didn't fix my vision, so I stumbled back indoors. At this point I wandered into an air conditioned zone so my vision cleared back up again.
I found the toilet, pissed and went back to the bus stop.
Somehow, I didn't miss the bus. When I got to work, nobody noticed anything strange, and nobody saw what happened. Phew, one more day without everyone thinking I'm severely autistic and/or disabled.
That phenomenon happens to me every time I get a combination of
- dehydration
- physical exertion
- high heat
and it is the most horrible thing I have experienced. I remain fully conscious and thinking "normally", but I just forget how everything works, like the sliding doors.
I would like to start by saying Russian Sleep Experiment had a shit ending.
>>10174 Entertaining? Possibly. Scary? Fuck yes.
Walking into a white room occasionally causes an optical illusion where small moving displacements make it feel like a thousand bugs are crawling across the walls. That hits you in a primal nerve. It's clearly not real but it's horrifying for half a second. The next five seconds you wonder if this is permanent and then it quickly fades away.
I don't even knowing that's sleep related.
I'd rather that over insomnia though, I've seen that in a friend and it's not fun to see the bags under their eyes getting thicker and their concentration decaying. Can't imagine what they went though, one night is enough for me.
What kind of shit do you see while sleep deprived?
