Guano psycho here when sleep dep. Have to tread carefully under those conditions.
@markhawk1 in fairness sometimes it's hysterical, most of the time just embarrassing or I completely misread something.
I avoid being sleep dep at all cost but that can be hard to do in some situations , e.g. if something is super early in the a.,m. worse still if it's something exciting. I didn't sleep much the week before picking up my dog- was lucky the breeder didn't think I was crazy when we spent the night at her house.
I can laugh about that now, but it was scary.
Undersleeping wreaks absolute havoc on every aspect of a person. Oversleeping does the same thing. Sleeping in a noisy area also has a significant impact. Sleeping without firm back support is also bad. Falling asleep can be voluntary and manualized by lying dead still, or automatic, due to tiredness. When people cannot sleep, they also refuse to rest by watching a movie, or something.
Sleep can go wrong in so many ways, that it becomes very hard for a person to always get good sleep.
Does the system respect the human need for sleep? Hell no. Our jobs and schools would have us up late at night because our culture in the US sucks.
As if it is a choice. I would live to sleep longer. Just not sure how to manage it, how to make it happen.
