I say its over rated. I go alot without it,and Im still pretty solid. When I sleep,its only in small burst 2-3 hours at the most unless Ive been up a really long stretch. Yea sure,somestimes when youve gone without it for a long time,you start to get irate,hear stuff,get paranoid,but I do have to say,after like a 48 hour run of no sleep,when you do finally crash,thats like the best sleep ever.
Sometimes I get really wound,cant sleep,and I will use something like cold and flu tabs to help get me sleepy. Otherwise,I just continue to stare at the tv searching for anything on,any reason to stay awake longer.
Anyone ever see A Scanner Darkley?
