because of studying and finals ive been awake now for over 36 hours. in my late class today i swear i hallucinated twice. the first was the space between tiles stood up and became an insect, the other was my pant leg violently whipping around, as if it was windy. both times i was suprised and then convinced myself it wouldnt be real and it stopped. are hallucinations common around this much sleep deprivation?

Yes, 24 hours without sleep produces the same effects as being legally drunk. So sleep deprivation is short circuiting your studying goals.

I don't know, but either way you need help. Getting some sleep would be a good start. And seriously, I'm worried about your mental health because what would cause you to lose that sleep? Plus, you couldn't be doing that well on your finals if your mind is that messed up. Get some sleep and everything will go much better.

True hallucinations usually kick in after 168 hours, or so. So, I'd say about another 132 hours you should. Visual and audial "ticks" start between 24 and 48, depending on the person.

Yes. In fact, I believe that more than 48 hours without sleep(could be a bit more or less) can begin to cause permanent brain damage. I cannot recall the exact number. Either way, it will not help your performance. Your memory and recall will be poor.
Cramming all night will NOT help with finals!!

yes. The military did alot of studies on this. Also a continued lack of sleep can lead to serious health problems. I found out I had sleep apnea. I stop breathing when I sleep. I was having all kinds of weird thing going on.

DUDE....GO TAKE A NAP. THEN GET UP AND STUDY. IN THE END...YOU WILL HAVE DONE MUCH BETTER ON YOUR EXAMS THAN IF YOU ARE TO STAY UP AND TRY TO CRAM.

You do have visions, but not quite as vivid as you described.
