My belief that sleep is useless and people saying that "you need to sleep 8 hours/night" are just signaling their good habits/success/etc is vindicated: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1087079218300741 …pic.twitter.com/3ZyQBsg0E1

yeah, will def do tests prior to and during the experiment
timeline for experiment: dec 30-jan 2: will do some experiments on http://quantified-mind.com to establish the baselines jan 3-jan 5: no sleep for 40 hours with experiments at 0, 20, 40 hours abort if my head starts to hurt/other health issue arises
godspeed my friend
ok, I haven's slept for 40 hours on Jan 2-3 Very little change in cognitive state (choice reaction task, mental rotation; visual recognition; 2 back); would need to be stimulated by videogames regularly to not fall asleep
within the next several weeks will try 60 hours. This time will just measure 1. reaction time 2. mental subtraction of 3 digit numbers (have been doing all my life so hopefully stable performance + includes working memory and attention) on this site: https://arithmetic.zetamac.com/game?key=fa4d49f4 …
more about 40 hours: - Nastya says that by the end of that I was talking slower than usual - my eyes didn't like working without a break for so long at allpic.twitter.com/rmv42oi2ZJ
oh also, @The_Lagrangian -- now I intuitively understand what bad about insomnia (funny that I didn't before) -- the problem is not that you can't fall asleep, but that you feel sleepy and can't work either. Thank you for letting me grasp this!
experience is the best teacher, and i have had plenty of experience depriving myself of sleep
