i am also an insomniac, but mine is more controlled then most cases, so things work out. But some nights i just set up for hours. while fatique of any sorts can cause hallucinations, the mind is barely running by that point. Most of our body is set upon regualted cycles of eating, shitting, and the biggest regulator, sleep. When sleep is lost, the mind is forced to try and deal with things directly. Thou it may take a while, the mind is doing it's absolute best casue long ago it shut off all the secondary functions that you keep trying to use. The thing thou i find with sleep deprecation is that your a babbeling idoit. nothing profound or cunning comes out. it's just kind of fun.

Insomnia is a result of the brain, not the conscienceness using the brain to stay awake, like sleep deprevation. Insomina has never fully inspired anything out of me, except for a recipie of fun pills to knock my ass out once. I've never noticed an upswing in intelligence from any of it. You guys just must be odd.

deep_dipshit, what are you talking about? those guys are just crazy. not insomniacs. If they were insomniacs, they would most likely be sleeping when your awake. and most insomniacs are not loners, just your sad ass. I live a perfectly healthy social life being an insomniac, it's just stressful sometimes.
