Subject: Re: sleep deprivation
"it's dangerous."
Yeah, I figured it
wouldn't be very good for your health or sanity, but then
I wouldn't really do something like that anyway. I
get little enough sleep as it is.
"a guy
called robert fripp (or tripp, i forget which), went on
a sleep deprivation marathon for charity and didn't
sleep for something like a week - may have been two. by
the fourth day he was hallucinating (seeing spiders
in his shoes amongst other things) and although he
survived (and raised alot of money for charity), he was
never the same man afterwards; his marriage slit up,
his business went 'down the bog' and he became
desperately unhappy. he may have even commited
suicide!"
I'm guessing it was a Robert Tripp then, since
somehow I don't think it was the bloke from King Crimson
;)
"sleep is where most of the creative seeds are sewn,
too. i love being asleep :)"
On a serious note,
I sleep with the radio on, which I theorise is why
I have such psychotic dreams compared to the usual
fair that you hear about people having. I've
considered having some kind of hypnosis to be able to
remember my old dreams, because they're a veritable
repository of insane ideas. I figured I'd use them in a book
or something
