what are the sensations of not having slept anywhere near enough, for you?

my sense of doom goes away almost entirely when I get a single night of zero sleep or very little sleep, hmm it's like hypomania, but in molasses

Et tu, selene? One of the main reasons I used to drink too much is the lack of sleep would trigger low-grade euphoria, sometimes for weeks.

Where can I get this magical brain tonic

unsure! but temporary sleep deprivation has actually been looked at as a treatment for bipolar and depression (note that by day 2 I'm a mess; also this doesn't work if it was merely "awful sleep" like tossing/turning all night for a cumulative 3 hours of disconnected sleep)

mine is like: 0 sleep: good! 1-2 hours: bad 3 hours of unbroken sleep: good 4-5 hours of unbroken sleep: groggy morning but pretty great mood 5-6 hours: bad 6.5-7.5 hours: alright, but lowkey "fuck off" mood any severely broken sleep less than 8 hours: I Want To Die

whoa maybe i gotta try this zero sleep thing sometimes

be careful especially if you have access to stims stronger than caffeine it can kick off a nasty, messy sleep cycle it isn't bad for like...crisis management? but it's extremely temporary. if you do it, give yourself probably 2 weeks before doing it again.
