My experience for not even being awake that long were

1) things would look bigger and different i stared at them
2) I felt like i could read what people were thinking
3) Everything sounded LOUDER

any other comments, including ones about shadow monsters
 
Long term chronic insomniac,

Things I've noticed...
Pronounced sounds
Sometimes blurry vision
Little light spots
I hav tinnitus and it makes it worse
Also witnessed objects get bigger and smaller
If I've missed a few days sleep, if I stare at something for more than a few seconds, everything dims around my centre of vision.

Yet to have any hallucunations from sleep deprivation. I crash out way before that stage.
 
i was having acid like hallucinations. i thought it was pretty much a flashback at several points.
i could hear people talking about me in different rooms, and songs playing in just one ear sometimes.
i could see images projected onto white surfaces, or images emerge from patterns.
it seemed i could hear very low things being said under their breath from far away.
 
I see people that are not really there. Dead people? (for real!)
And I notice that my focal distance raises as my eyes become tired, but Im becoming a bit old.
 
A lot more floaters than usual. Meds already make my eyesight screwed, haze around the central point of focus etc. lack of sleep amplifies it.
 
Snow vision.
Movements out the corner of your eye.
If i look up at a white sky (the clouds in the day time) it's as though there are an infinite amount of black blurry dots appearing and then heading to the centre of my vision before disappearing.
Faces in small details (like the dots on a ceiling)

They're the most common + first to come in my experience.
 
Lights become very bright and shimmery, snowy static covers my visual field. Images appear in darkness, various shadowy anthropomorphic figures appear in dark.
 
I'll see strange deformed people in my peripheral vision. Usually they are facing me as if they're planning something.
Light becomes brighter. Objects grow and shrink in size. Hallways will seem to be expanding or shrinking.

At night shadow people will stand in front of me. Faces will appear out of the darkness. Horrifying, grotesque creatures will take the place of inanimate objects. Things will begin to wave after a while.
 
Not sure if this thread belongs in BDD, it's not really a harm reduction or specific info about a drug question. It kinda sounds more suited to Drug Culture, if it's just about getting people to share their experiences with sleep dep.

BDD -> DC ?
 
After 24 hours without sleep: Vision is a bit blurry, things are slightly out of focus, eyes are somewhat sunken in, and eyelids are noticeably heavy.
After 48 hours without sleep: Begins to feel as though your in a dream like state; things seem a little "surreal". Mind is somewhat fogged. You start to occasionally have small and obscure shadow hallucinations out of direct eyesight.
After 72 hours without sleep: The "dream state" feeling is no longer subtle. Thoughts grow more scattered, it becomes hard to process, and articulate things. Larger shadow hallucinations, and occasional vivid hallucinations in direct sight become more frequent the longer your body and mind are deprived of sleep.

I stayed awake for 72-84 hours and had a mental breakdown hysterically shaking and crying in front of my friends because I was seeing the same "demonic" looking figure with red eyes everywhere continuously for 7-8 hours watching me, and my hallucinations had become so vivid I couldn't distinguish the eerie sightings from reality, I was literally in fear for my life. Get some sleep. Taking a stimulant while your running on no sleep is a waste of speed, the only effect it will have is keeping your exhausted eyes open, no euphoria, no motivation, no tweak. Save it for the next day

things seem larger than they actually are, much darker and they seem to morph. random things start to look like people, especially in the dark, and sometimes it becomes difficult to recognize people's faces after day 3 (although i usually stop at day 2)
