  • There was a scientific experiment on british TV called 'sleep' or something that was filmed in a 'big brother' style house. The contestants were used as guinea pigs for lack of sleeo. It was fascinating to watch, it took around 3 days for the contestants to start experiencing all sorts ot symptoms associated with sleep deprivation.
  • Sometimes I hallucinate on my night shifts, just from sitting and staring at a computer for hours at a time. I haven't been up very long, 12 hours?
