If you've never stayed awake long enough to hallucinate don't answer.

When I was younger I could stay up for about 4 or 5 days before the hallucinations set in. Once I got into my 30s, they started coming after only 2 days. I have bipolar disorder so my results are likely not even close to typical. (That may explain why I do such a dumb thing often enough to have personal averages. I'm pretty sure the hallucinations were almost all the result of lack of sleep and not due to my mental illness because those hallucinations are different.)

A person needs to achieve R.E.M. every 24 hours in order to remain sane. Your brain shuts down at 10 days. Why would you want to experience something like this any way? Question for you are you alone, how an you tell if you are anyway. Get somebody to stay with yu for the whole time and you can both trip. It won't happen you will do something to call attention to yourself and they will gt help for you but don;t be stupid. The brain is not something to play with.

for me it takes just a couple of days, once while visiting a friend at a hot springs, another at a gig with the band, and while a weekend of playing the morpeg world of warcraft.
