It makes so much sense now.

I know that if I stay up a few hours too long, or don't sleep well, I can become a little cranky. But if I stay up almost all night, I eventually hit a point of almost calm or mild exhilaration. But I've never stayed up as long as you have.

Could you talk a bit about how your moods were affected during the study? Do people tend to react the same way to sleep deprivation, or can moods vary widely between people?

Thanks, this will be an interesting AMA. :)

I'm very curious about this as well. Did they have to use more and more aggressive methods to keep you awake? How quickly was your body trying to make you fall asleep as you approached the end?

Wow, this is really well said. I've struggled to elucidate exactly why Citizens United bothers me so much but you've really summarized it succinctly.
