Does anyone else notice sleep depravation causing blue pill behaviour?

when I'm tired i tend not to care enough to assert myself, so yes.

I gain a shorter fuse when I'm tired and someone fucks with me. But I also get calm as fuck with added spice of apathy. So no, I can't say it's true. The reason why you reach out to them is because subconsciously you haven't nexted them.

I'd also assume it's linked to the alcohol, since it messes with your dopamin- and serotonin-levels and therefore will overall make you feel more depressed and anxious when withdrawn after a continous episode of more heavy drinking.

Possibly. I am significantly more confident and articulate when I am well rested. When I am tired I tend to be pretty quiet; even around male friends. This is even the case when alcohol isn't involved and I am just not sleeping as much as I should.

On the contrary my friend. Sleep deprivation causes fall in adonsine levels in the brain. This causes the brain to shutdown higher level of thinking and resorts to using primitive parts of the brain.

In short, no anxiety and less care about future outcomes. I am usually dark triad as hell when sleep deprived.

Every brain is wired differently so to each his own I guess.

Your body produces testosterone while you sleep.

Lack of sleep affects your testosterone levels.

2+2 = ?

Less sleep and more alcohol = lower testosterone

It's simple really.

I can't provide any sources but I remember reading that blood sugar levels are directly related to your will power. I've experienced this as well when I haven't eaten much or I haven't gotten enough sleep.

randarrow · 2014-02-06T16:50:28+00:00

Sometimes.

rumblfish · 2014-02-06T19:02:20+00:00

Yes! Never fuck with your sleep. It will fuck back and hard.

I can confirm that. Late in the night i can barely deal with a spare asshole or an annoyance.

It's a well known fact that sleeping less than 8 hours/night (6 being the bare minimum) lowers man's testosterone levels. It takes only one week of sleeping <5 hours to cut Big T a lot, even up to 30%. And if you search "how to increase testosterone naturally" the #1 advice will be to sleep enough. So yea, makes perfect sense.

I don't give a fuck much easier when I'm sleep deprived. So you could say I become more confident.

mondrianw · 2014-02-07T04:01:09+00:00

Sleep deprivation makes your brain shitty and desperate. You become more willing to make some pretty big compromises to be accepted, or understood, or just to avoid a hassle.

There's a certain no-fucks-given that comes with deliriousness or a lack of energy, but long term, you're not yourself and you make bad decisions.

Also, sleep deprivation messes with your cortisol, adrenaline and testosterone. All three make it a lot easier to be masculine.

BruceIsTheBatman · 2014-02-07T22:55:22+00:00

Sleep deprivation is harmful on all levels of human existence.

aaron_the_just · 2014-02-08T00:01:24+00:00

I noticed the same thing. Basically I look for comfort (mother activity) instead of someone to dominate (girlfriend).

I try to do the sensible thing and spend time with family/close friends (good time to call mom!) when I feel crummy like that.

milkyboon · 2014-02-08T07:39:52+00:00

I might be wrong about this, but less sleep might mean having lesser testosterone for the day. Less testosterone = less alpha

Since I've been bluepill AND sleep deprived for most of my life I'm inclined to say yes.

Also it depends if bluepill behavior is your natural state then lack of rest will revert you back to it. (in other words you're still faking it, you haven't made it yet)
