Sleep deprivation test with a spoon - are you sleep deprived?

[YukonJack]

I had a 92 hour bender of no sleep last week and it was awful. I've never been awake that long and I can't say I'd recommend getting to sleep psychosis.

[DecayedPage]

When im sleep deprived I sometimes feel a little unaware of my surrounding and I find myself laughing at the slightest things. I also feel really happy. It's actually a bit addictive

[ComradeKuritsa]

im really sleep deprived, maybe i should make a podcast about it

[saharaofthedeep]

How in the world would this test be accurate? 😅 what about the people who take 2-3 hours to fall asleep, and the more sleep deprived we get, the harder it becomes to fall asleep? What about people who are heavy sleepers and wouldn't wake up to that anyway?

Also works, holding your phone, without the bowl.

So my experience with sleep deprivation!
- Hallucinations -
No, I don’t mean in the daytime I was seeing things that weren’t there. I had closed my eyes one night to go to sleep and I saw my ipad infront of me playing interesting videos. I reached for it and my hand closed on air, because I had put my iPad away a few minutes ago. This repeated for a few more times before I finally just stopped hallucinating
- Extremely long naps -
Two hour naps? No. Three hour naps? No. I’m talking 6 hour naps. I fell asleep at four and woke up at ten. I missed dinner so I just ate soup at like 11 pm.
- I can’t do anything -
Too tired to walk, too tired to eat, too tired to see, too tired to focus. Too tired to even sleep

Wow i cant believe they added (testicular) torsion to final fantasy!!!!
All jokes aside, i was considering playing this game just for the experience before it shut down and im pretty much not doing that anymore lol, especially since i dont know most of the characters (i havent even completed one FF game lol (im definitely still playing dq tact tho))
This was definitely one of the more poetic episodes, with the coinciding date of death, the fate of games in the gacha genre, and the ensuing anger and conviction
I truly hope you survive this tight ordeal to be harassed by type 0 another day (:

I don't need to perform this test to tell you I'm chronically sleep deprived 😂

[JohnSmith-nzyq]

When you suffer from This test doesnt work.

Your spoon sticks to your you realise you have to go to work.

[M.S..]

I am on another level. I am so sleep deprived that I will probably won't even wake up to that sound

[immerbeach]

2 minutes. Using my phone and my face. Also I have mild obstructive sleep apnea (grade 11) and have not gotten a cpap yet, and my friend says once I lay down, I start snoring almost immediately. The sleep study study I did in July shows my blood oxygen level went as low as 84% and was under 87% saturation for at least 4 minutes with a heart rate of 37 bmp. Over 50 apnea events within a 4 hour sample. Scary.

Sometimes on a 10+ minute drive after a normal day I get sleepy suddenly and struggle to stay alert while driving, and despite this all I STILL have bouts of insomnia (not falling asleep at all) and regularly end up pulling all nighters and going into work the next morning without any sleep. I'm sure that's only compounding the issue. On some days where I can, I normally sleep 12+ hours a day and feel as if I'm wasting my life by doing so in attempt to catch up on sleep, yet I remain exhausted. It's currently 4:28am while I type this out.

Been trying to fall asleep for the past 48 hours, and i havent fallen asleep yet! No sleep deprivation for me💪

[donjean]

I have to ask but what if after 20 minutes you are still laying there eyes closed with a spoon in your hand?

The test depends on falling asleep but if that is the problem in the furst place what then?

I ask because many if us end up here looking up sleep deprivation because we dont go to sleep.

Brave of him to assume the spoon landing in the bowl would wake me, maybe it takes me 2 hours to fall asleep sometimes I don’t sleep at all but if I do fall asleep good luck waking me up

[iampavel]

I usually end up very tired after my night shift but as soon as I lay down in bed I'm not sleepy anymore and I need approximately 15-30 mins to fall asleep.

Have been sleeping twice a week for years, ever since i can remember honestly. I’m 22 now, and feel pretty good but wouldn’t be surprised to see I’ll effects manifest under an exam. I have my moments, where I’ll need a week of recovery before being back at it. Thing is, this isn’t purposefully done by me. It just happens, I don’t really ever notice being tired… and if i am it for a few minutes at most.

[daphneraven]

That’s hilarious. I recline to rest and do a little homework on the phone, and before I’m a minute into things, I’m waking up because my phone has hit my face.

[McLovin]

Me who's insomniac: I am not sleep deprived confirmed

[JaclynSeymour]

Doesn’t work when you have adhd. Just holding the spoon would become my hyperfocus and I wouldn’t be able to shut down.
