Not sleeping for 24 hours, then WILD?

**LucidFreedoM** · 03-06-2009 10:53 PM

Has anyone tried depriving yourself of sleep, for say an entire day, and then trying to WILD? It makes sense to me that if you stayed awake for an entire day, your body would be extremely tired and you could easily try the 'tricking your body' technique, or many others.

Maybe by staying awake for 24 hours and then drinking an energy drink, it would keep your mind awake, and allow your body to easily fall asleep..just a thought.

I probably wont try this unless someone else has, or if there is anything to backup what Ive said.

**Depriving yourself of more than 3 days of sleep can have irreversable effects to your mind..do not attempt to not sleep for more than 3 days**

Losing sleep for ONE day messes with your mind. And the point of WILD is to stay conscious as you go into your dream state and if you're that tired you'll fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow

So thats a no?

This is how I achieved my first WILD but in saying that it may have just been coincidence.

im really interested in finding out if it works for more people.
but then again even if it does, why waste 24 hours of sleep and harm yourself if u can have just as good chances if u wake up after 5-6 hours and then go back to sleep.

That's a good thing, as long as one can remain aware.

Wouldn't you have to go through deep sleep before REM started? Is it possible to stay conscious during that?

well you gotta think of the Pro's, you body will go to sleep SUPER FAST! but it's simply easyer to stay aware.

I've thought of doing this too, but like Ishi said, I fall asleep as soon as I get comfortable in my bed.

However, if you were able to keep yourself aware, this would definitely be a good way to WILD.

I do wonder what effects it would have in your waking life though..
