this thread reminds me of a bunch of 16 year old boys talking about drugs around their high school cafeteria table.
(the following is merely an opinion, a suggestion)
I think that your hallucinating from sleep deprivation is relative to the amount of halucinogens you have done. Friends of mine who have consumed upwards of 100 hits of acid and over 100 pills of ecstasy will get very noticeable hallucinations after not sleeping properly (for the sake of argument, lets also include amphetamines, including MDMA). They arent hallucinations of the LSD nature, rather minor visual static, *minor* patternization and fractals, and minor tracers, due to lack of available fluids in the brain.
Personally, if I go with < 3 hours of sleep at night, I get very distinct visual blurbs and static. I will notice patterns morphing and moving in carpets and along grooved surfaces (again, very minor and easily ignored). Cars and other fast moving objects will leave minor trails and tracers. My thoughts will be very scattered, as though in a delerious state (not exactly psychedellic). The worst is I get lots, and lots of very tiny pixelated sprites, almost like fractals but they are just one stationairy pixel. Tons of them, only when im out of breath. For instance, I walk up 3 flights of stairs, and everything I look at looks as though im staring at a monitor or something, like covered with pixelated sprites. Its quite odd, but at the same time entertaining.
oh and I cant believe someone bumped this. I remember it from last year rofl.
