Sleep and Sex Deprivation

[gdude30]

You know..

I'm starting to think that maybe it's important to have sleep. And that's equally important to have sex as well. When I think about it when I was dating I had sex frequently and went to bed around 11-12 because the day was so busy and I don't know just felt like I could sleep.

And before I was partnered and after for a while I was really fucking cranky and bitchy. Someone told me that I need to get fucked or something and they said that lack of sex can make you grumpy or off. But during everything seemed fine.

I saw someone mention that on bearzone too which made me think about it and wonder if it is true.

But as in terms of sex I wonder what part of sex satisfies you and makes you not deprived of sex. You could touch a guy, play with him, and kiss him. But if you only did that then would you still be deprived of sex? Maybe it's really the fact that you need a good blowjob or need to get jacked off to get back on track. But then I am not really sure if you'd call that sex. Or maybe the way to solve sex deprivation is to fuck or get fucked.

But it could depend on the person too. But if you think about what's going on when you're getting fucked or fucking everything seems to be a blur and you don't really know what to do except enjoy it. And then afterwards everything seems to be calmed, relaxed, and you're happy.

But if your irritable, tired, and off then maybe a good dose of sex is a way to solve that. But in some ways that's like saying everyone should go out and hook up which I still have mixed feelings about.

And as in terms of sleep I've noticed that days when I'm at my best is when I get sleep the night before and don't sleep in.

Today everything seemed to be opposite. And that's usually how it is when I'm tired. Thinks I like don't interest me, people talking to me annoys me, writing annoys me, and things that make me think stress me out.

But that isn't my true personality. But because of the lack of sleep that's the result I got.

And even if you get sleep sometimes you can still be a little more hornier then usual, irritated, tense, and ancy. I don't remember even being like this but I'm throwing that out there as a possibility.

Maybe the secret to happiness is really lots of sex and sleep.

Those two seem to somehow balance things. Of course I haven't really done much of either to prove it but it's just a thought right now. A possibility.

And if ya ain't partnered the only way to really have sex is to do hook ups or do it with a friend. And again I'll mention I have mixed feelings about hook ups

But I really wonder if this is true. It's not like i have any gay friends who have been sex deprived act like this to prove it. But who knows maybe I'll meet someone who seems messed up all the time because of lack of sleep or sex. And then maybe if they meet someone the next day and have a fun night the next day they act happy, alive, and other words that I feel too lazy to list.

This is merely just an idea. I don't know if it's true or not. I think the sleep thing could be though. I've been told that. But then again I've been told lack of sex can be similar if not worse.

I think at least.

Sleep is vital to life. Sex is not. You can't die from the lack of sex, but you can most certainly die from the lack of sleep.

And, contrary to popular belief, sleeping in accomplishes nothing. Also contrary to popular belief, you do not have to make up for sleep you have lost. For instance, if you are accustomed to 8 hours sleep per night and you stay awake for 3 full days in a row, 8 hours of sleep is all that would be required to refresh you completely.

Finally, contrary to popular belief, it is not the body which requires sleep. The body requires only rest. It is the brain which requires sleep. (Actually, it requires dreaming.) Deprive the brain of sleep long enough and it will deprive you of life.

I like sex...followed by sleep...followed by some more sex...followed by some more sleep...

I dream about sex...followed by sleep...followed by some more sex...followed by some more sleep...

(and I've heard all those things you said about sleep gsdx - lots of research done on that - it's good stuff).

No research on my part. Just remembering psychology class from my university days in the early 70s.

Well yeah I know you can't die from lack of sex. At least not yet. Just watch. I'll be the first.

Oh so it's not the body?

I guess that makes sense. You can rest on a couch and your body is rested but be awake.

So it's more to calm, ease, and relax your mind and let it rest.

In that case. Sleep is pretty damn important. The body can withstand alot. But the mind is a bit more fragile.

I actually understand sleeping now.

I LEARNED SOMETHING TODAY

 

[rareboy]

Get 8 hours of sleep.

Sleep deprivation makes your brain misfire and induces a psychotic state.

 

[gdude30]

Alright gsdx I tested what you said.

Was completely dead in class.

I got 30 minutes of sleep.

My body was a little wierd.

But it was my mind that was affected the most. It was harder to think, focus, and I kept dozing off instantly. But when I got out of class. I could walk.

How could my body move. Isn't it deprived of sleep.

Becuase it's like you said.

It's not my body that's suffering. It's my mind from not getting sleep.

So I sure as hell won't be staying up too late anymore.

It's bad enough that I'm an overthinker. But to add lose of sleep to the list.

I don't need that.

Precisely. The body does not require sleep. It requires only rest occasionally. It's just coincidental that you do your best resting when you're asleep.

But I realized someone even more amazing then that.

Your mind.

Will sleep.

Your mind will make up that deprived sleep by making you zone out more than usual. Class seemed like 10 minutes because I completely zoned out even though I tried so hard to fight it.

And then after my classes were over and I had lunch I was back to normal. I don't think my mind recovered completely. But enough to get me through the day. But I guess in some way you are okay on doing normal and non normal things without sleep becuase your body will still work.

But if your standing still and not doing anythign then you'll freaking pass out.

Not gonna stay up late anymore though >_>"

Power naps do much the same thing and can be surprisingly refreshing.

 

[gdude30]

But if you don't have the time.

I think your mind will pretty much shut down on you unless you are moving. But if it gets to be to much then it might not care if your body is working or not.

And momentarily of course.

Stress probably makes it happen faster too. Or more likely.

 

[gsdx]

I think your mind will pretty much shut down on you unless you are moving.

If necessary, it will shut down whether or not you're moving.

 

[gdude30]

So, passing out?

Or becoming mindless temporarily.

Or maybe insanity?

 

[gsdx]

Or becoming mindless temporarily.

This one.

But, go without sleep long enough and insanity will follow. . . and then you will die if you don't get some sleep.

I had a teacher in school who always stressed the importance of the three S's.

Sleep
Study
Sex

He told us that all 3 were important, especially sex.

Something that the sleep deprived don't usually know is that they are playing havoc with their serotonin levels. They end up being perpetually in a state of flight or fight.

For people with manic depressive tendencies this can throw them into a state of euphoria or deep depression with ease.

Lack of sleep is one of the major reasons why first year college and university students flunk out.
