<p>yeah</p>
<p>its' a short path of light, then eternal darqness once again

I was about to take this thread seriously until I saw that IK posted it. the quality of his thread has really dwindled...</p>
<p>Around this time last year, some guy shot a bunch of people at a university in Montreal, Canada. He was apparently a prominent member of vampirefreaks.com</p>
<p>What's the point of random all-nighters?
You'll have to make up the sleep anyway, and doing work without sleep makes your work much less effective.</p>
<p>I am rather concerned for you. Despite not being your girlfriend. =/</p>

This study and another study published by Gillin’s team in the December 1999 NeuroReport indicate that the brain is extremely dynamic in its efforts to function when deprived of sleep, though the consequence for the subject is diminished ability to perform basic cognitive tasks. It is also apparent that the effects of sleep loss are different depending on the cognitive task the brain is asked to perform.</p>
<p>In the earlier study, the team studied sleep-deprived subjects performing an arithmetic task involving subtraction. In that study, they observed that the brain regions activated in rested subjects doing the arithmetic problems were not active in the sleep-deprived subjects. No other region of the brain became activated when subjects performed arithmetic when sleep-deprived. Subjects had fewer correct answers and omitted more responses when sleepy than when rested.</p>
<p>Why the sleepy brain displays increased activity in certain regions when confronted with verbal problems, but in general shows less activity when challenged with arithmetic problems, is not entirely clear.

<p>More [url=<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_deprivation#Effects%5Deffects%5B/url">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep_deprivation#Effects]effects[/url</a>] of sleep deprivation.</p>
<p>intriguing, it affects arithmetic problems more so than verbal problems</p>
<p>anyways sleep debt is always less than the amount of sleep you lose. points of all-nighters:
(1) they're the best short-term treatment for depression/anxiety
(2) i need time to study, and i don't have enough time by the number of hours i go by anyways
(3) effects vary from person to person; evidently some people are not particularly effected by random all-nighters
(4) i'm less distractible during the night</p>
<p>i felt like utter crap last weekend and early today. i slept for like 10 hours over the last few days. i didn't feel that way last week at all, when i was pulling several all-nighters.</p>
<p>besides, it's something to do, since reading math and wikipedia articles all day isn't stimulating enough, so sleep deprivation makes me have to do something extra without sacrificing my behinded-ness in math/science</p>
<p>obviously it is subjective but im just trying things out</p>
<p>and concurrent calorie restriction + low glycemic index foods => reduces impact of sleep deprivation on blood sugar</p>
<p>so you are randomly depriving yourself of sleep for fun.
whatever floats your boat, i guess.</p>
