Technically sleep deprivation is an action that causes serious changes
in brain chemistry.

I don't recall the details off the top of my head, but i have read about
and experienced hallucinations due to sleep deprivation.

It is even used as a torture technique, it can make you so "crazy" you
cant tell real from unreal.

I have heard that its one of the reasons 'speed freaks' methamphetamine
addicts hallucinate to much, not from the drug per se but from being
awake for days at a time.

And some psychologists believe a lack of 'dream time' REM sleep can be
fatal.

What's the old saying? "food nourishes the body, sleep nourishes the soul."
