I didn’t sleep last night, and I am having this strange self appearance of being half fox half boy… I’m going to sleep now, so, I need to bathe… will elaborate tommarrow… 
how long have you been up? i know sleep deprivation can cause hallucinations but it normally take around 72 hrs
I’ve had very little hallucination with only one day of sleep deprivation. Perhaps you are more suggestible to hallucination? 
Wait, are you SEEING yourself as a half boy half fox, or do you FEEL like one? Because my mental perception gets extremely hazed when I am sleep deprived, and I experience some very odd feelings and thought processes.
I felt more than I saw, (I would look in the mirror and seem normal, but, at first glance, I saw a flash of fox…). I DID feel a tail (Weird…) and I kept thinking about the sonic character, tails. Yeah, my mind was pretty messed… thought I saw my CALD characters for real, and I kept thinking of tails (even turning into a fox guy, and seeing little people on the floor…). I was awake for 36 hours.
P.S: In my mass hystaria, I discovered something interesting:
SPOILER - Click to view
All cartoon characters have LEGAL NAMES… Tails’s legal name is Miles “Tails” Prower. Miles Prower was introduced to the Sonic Chroncles (Series 2) in 1988. Tails became his alias in 2001, when Sonic X first began to show on TV. I know this from wikipedia…
Strange stuff happens under sleep deprivation. Once I was somewhere between 24-48h awake and a friend started drawing cards from a deck, asking me to guess the card each time.
I didn’t miss one. I’m not psychic or anything (at least not 99% of the time), but after a while he stopped because we were getting pretty much afraid.
There was a guy who did an experiment a long time ago on sleep deprivation. I don’t remember how long it took but his body entered REM while awake and he saw extremely vivid hallucinations. It doesn’t sound that bad yet, though I would get some sleep 'cause that is never good. (I know with the guy it had permanent … unhealthy effects on his brain)
REM while awake? Looks like he was having a lucid dream 
But truly awake!
It was really more HH and HI, because he was still moving around and interacting with the real world.
It’s actually fascinating, how the brain requires fantasizing so much it must take its space during wakefullness when dreams start to lack. And the SC then opens up, and unordinary, unexplaineable-by-normal-means things happen (like tukkek’s). Truly fascinating.
So… basically when people are super-tired, they become super-heroes?
I can only say for myself - but at the time I did the cards thing I felt pretty much tired, and all I wanted to do was lay down and sleep. No much of a “super”-feeling at all, Qwan.
Perhaps, though I wouldn’t argue with well-founded scientists doing research on the dream state. 
Darn… I wish I remember where I heard this though… Perhaps you will know? It was in in the 60’s or something I think and the guy had a radio show which he did while he was staying awake. It permanently altered his personality and some other things I don’t remember. But I remember they explained that he said he could see the hallucinations as if they were really there, one had to do with a whole bunch of tarantulas or something. This sound familiar to any of you guys?
Your talking about DJ Peter Tripp! Here is a good article on sleep deprivation, and it mentions him as well.
i don’t take to the view point that, as long as it is stopped, and healing processes are taken, any normal thing such as sleep deprivation can be “permanently bad for the brain”
I’ve heard of that guy before; he’s not Tripp, as this one stayed awake by doing radio service during the whole time, and stayed awake for less than a week (about 6 days). I remember some of his hallucinations involved insects, things coming out of drawers, and talking pendulum clocks. Sadly he has a thing in common with Tripp, that is, his personality changes were permanent too, and not for the best 
Staying awake for too much time means starving our mind, and that’s really playing with fire. Probably 3 or 4 days can still be fine, but more is looking for trouble for the most part.
Peter Tripp, he stayed awake for 201 hours. After three days awake, he began to show signs of “mild psychosis”.
The following is from an article I read:
They discovered that when he was going through particularly bad periods of hallucinations, although being awake, the hallucinations were shadowing the 90 minute REM cycle of dream sleep. It was as if he was having dreams, even though he was awake.
Edit to say Not to try this. This story has a bad ending.
“After this he went to bed and slept for 24 hours. He claimed after this that he felt fine and there were no long term effects, but his wife didn’t think so, and they divorced a while later. He also lost his job, and his friends said he was never the same again.”
its craazy when you go to sleeep after sleep depervation. the hypnogogic sttage is crazy, and a little scary, because it floods your mind.
