Hallucinations begin at day 7? The tend to begin at 48hs for me. (Refer to Planck's constant for the meaning of h in this case.)
"Day 10: [...] Short-term recollection is difficult, while remembering anything you did more than a few hours ago is impossible."
Now what was I going on about, again? And why can't I remember where I put my left foot?
Seriously, I presume these studies are from a healthy, well-rested baseline. Considering how rare that often is in IT, I suspect these estimates grossly misrepresent the effects on a number of group members.
I've done more than 3 days on occasion, prior to which I'd generally gone several days of less than 4 hours of sleep a night. Doing all this before turning 18 was apparently less than wise, as at 21 my body simply will not put up with it, and I get frequent migraines and such even when getting 8+ hrs a night. |
