Why do humans actually need to sleep

[Mr.Weed]

Some people I know, they were tweakers, and they used to play this game of who could stay up the longest. This guy lasted about 4 days, and I guess he went insain from the sleep deprivation, he kept talking about aliens, he had a shotgun in his hands and he said they were after him, and they were going to take him home.

hmm interesting, but the only thing i dont really get is how "slowed" down the brain really is..its been awhile since ive had psyc, but i remember something like dreams are created by random synapses firing inside your head, so how "rested" could the brain really be?

Dreaming takes place in REM sleep which comes before and after the deep sleep where restoration takes place. 5 minutes in REM stage can translate to an hour in dream timeline at times. People who dream all night long dont get to enter that deep, restorative sleep.

I actually kind of hypnotize myself with breathing and relaxation techniques to avoid the REM stage entirely. I really only dream when Im drunk or distracted. Or when I want to.

The best explanation I have seen for dreams, to put it very simply, is its just our imagination running wild. Our brains arent focusing on any real thought, so they just go to imagining things.

I've done a few days....you need sleep. You start to go delirious if you dont.

anyone here been able to lucid dream properly. ive been able to mildly do it where im aware im in a dream but can't control anything but my hands, but not tangible objescts or effect the enviroment

anyone else got good at it

dreams are wikid, dope surpresses dreams because the thc in the brain stops the random firing of the synapses triggering the dreams

when i stopped fucking hell i had some vivid ones

at the moment there all about my x's best mate who is goin out with a lad who looks just like me. me one of my good mates and her shared a nice joint of pressed keif and nice bud, it was about 4 gs worth and all the time whilst toking she kept moaning like she was about to come, but my mrs was there. anyway that nite she screwed one of my mates, there was six of us in a room, whilst i was with my gf. but all nite (well the 5 he lasted) while she was riding him she kept playing with my foot.
damn

anyway lucid dreams

I don't know if it's that particular Vietnamese guy, but I did hear about a guy who had a medical condition that didn't allow him to sleep. He kept sane and functional by practicing meditation several hours a day, which has already been proven to work as a substitute for sleep. Buddha himself only slept 2 hours a night, plus 2 hours sitting meditation, and 2 hours walking meditation.

Alot of us only sleep 2-4 hours a night I dont even sleep at night I sleep in the mornig day. meditaion is all that is needed to stay sane, although healing is not done very well unles you are in rem sleep. 1 hour of rem sleep is like 4-5 hours of awake time as far as healing goes. Their are deprivation chambers wich even speed heeling and sleep up to five times faster. Instead of 8 hours a night sleep 3-5 hours is all that is needed. These chambers are very expensive and owend buy athletes, theripest, and the rich. You will not go insane if your mind is strong enough and disipled to addaped. Their are stories of sober men who go out and are up for a week or more and are constanly in danger or moving never resting and they never had a episode or halucinations, but remained sharp and agile. This can be acheive same as night vision without optics can be acheived. Here is a link to those Iso. Chambers I think their kool cause pepole who are experianced Iso Chamber users claim they have outa body experiances and very interesting stories. Almost like they were on halusonagens.
