How does sleep deprivation negatively effect a trip?

I've always wondered this. I assume you would trip harder, maybe in a bad way?

What kind of effect would the build up of toxins in the brain from sleep deprivation have on a trip?

Kind of a random/weird question... also probably a dumb one, but I'm curious.

I'm not talking about taking stims for days then tripping... did that before and it was a nightmare. I'm talking about just natural sleep deprivation without stims.

I'm not sure since I've never done it before, but my guess is that you would probably trip harder, but if the sleep deprivation is bad enough it might even trigger the typical hallucinations from several days of not sleeping like seeing things move from the corner of your eyes or hearing things that aren't there. it might also result in a much harsher body load and comedown since tripping and sleep deprivation are both pretty taxing on the mind and body.
 
I'm an insomniac so sleep deprivation is something I have to deal with in a regular basis. Lack of sleep most definitely negatively affects the trip.
However, I usually go to a 5 day festival annually and get very little sleep there and still manage to have a blast on drugs. Though, I would imagine that if i got absolutely no sleep at that festival the 5th day would be terrible.
 
Pain levels go up due to lack of sleep. Loss of appetite. Headaches as someone else said. Seeing shit that isn't there like shadow people. Take all the bad things about major sleep deprivation and add your DOC on top. I'm not a fan of it because tripping usually means I won't be sleeping for at least 24 hours anyway.
 
What if I take benzos to sleep but still sleep but not very well, how long after I've took the benzo can I trip as I know it stops my the trip

Still want to try this blotter I've had saved for ages as the mirtazapine is out of my system now, but pregabalin and clonazepam isn't and I'm not sleeping to good because mirtazapine is such a good sleeper, well till it poops out on you, not even pregabalin and benzos make me as sleep as long lol
