I haven’t slept in …
I haven’t slept in 84 hours. I want to die.
I don’t think this …
I don’t think this video goes far enough to warn people about how dangerous continuous sleep deprivation can be. After a few days it can cause all the symptoms of a psychotic break. I know so because I’ve been there. People need to know this because the real danger lies in being misdiagnosed as mentally ill and being put on toxic drugs for the rest of your life. Fortunately I had read studies on sleep deprivation while majoring in psych, but I don’t think the average person is aware.
I don’t remember …
I don’t remember having a hard time going to bed at 10:00 when I was a teenager, but that was back in the ’60s. These days young people not only do their homework on computers, but they stay up social networking and playing games til all hours. I wonder where you got your data on adolescents normal bedtime being about 1:00 AM. ‘Doesn’t sound right to me. (Not only did I go to bed at 10:00 PM nearly every night, but I wasn’t tired in the morning, nor did I know any others who seemed to be.)

homework should be done away with as well! why do children go to school for 8 hours and then have to come home and do more work? if i had a job like that i would quit!
i had sleep …
i had sleep paralysis when i was in my late teens through to my early 20s. nightmares would trigger it. i would wake up in a terrified state and the sense that someone was watching me was overwelming. it was difficult to breathe. it would pass after a minute or two, but it seemed longer. at the time i had no idea what was going on and i thought i was going crazy. i think that the fear sets off an overdose of adrenaline in the body causing the paralysis.
children ( …
children (especially teenagers) need more sleep because your still growing. i heard somewhere that teenagers need at least 10 to 12 hours of sleep in order to not get tired during the day. babies have the same problem. it’s taxing on the body having growth spirts. my daughter has it bad because she’s 14 and she has epileptic seizures which are triggered by lack of sleep. if it weren’t for her meds she would have a grandmal seizure at least once a month.

Dude, he just said …
Dude, he just said he yells crazy stuff when he sleeps, and that he does not remember any of it. That doesn’t make you racist because you aren’t even freakin’ conscience. Remember, you can’t control what happens in your dream. And instead of telling him to consult a professional, you accuse him a being racist!

I am sorry you live …
I am sorry you live with that kind of hate in your heart. It takes more energy to hate than it does to be hated. Anyways, I’ll be praying for you and I hope your life improves. I am Black, and have grown up around many different people and learned a few languages, and I can tell you from experience, life is much more fulfilling when you can look at people and situations as individuals, and focus on being the best human being you can be. That said, I hope your life improves. God Bless,
