sleepy Sunday

[hummingwolf]

I looked out the window and saw tongues of yellow flame hang suspended in the air. I looked again and saw dead leaves on a distant tree--leaves that were only a dull brown, at that.

Who needs drugs when you've got sleep deprivation?

Now I look out the window and see snow falling in the grey light of evening. It's been going on a while, so this probably is snow and not an illusion. The tree outside my window is sprouting white fur.

random hallucinations aren't something I'm familiar with from sleep dep... the effect I usually get is that everything looks like it's from an old movie (everything's moving too fast or in herky jerky motion). I know once I start spending a lot of time staring at my hand as I wave it back and forth (fun effect when not all mentally there), that I need to sleep some

Whee! Everything's looking kinda strange this morning--I only got about 5 hours of sleep, and some of that was spent dreaming I was at the computer, so it was almost like I was awake most of the time I wasn't.

Maybe I'm more likely to get hallucinations because my health problems leave me more tired to begin with. All I know is that when I was in college and talking to people about their experiences with various recreational drugs, I'd gotten pretty much all the same experiences from sleep deprivation that they'd gotten from substances they'd had to pay money for. Too bad I can't bottle my brain juices and sell them on the black market or something.
