Well, that’s a good question; I’m not enough of a sleep expert to know, but it’s possible the 2 hours of sleep could stave off the effects of insomnia for some time or they might actually stave them off for a full 24 hours more. A standard sleep cycle is roughly 90 minutes long, and there’s some evidence to indicate that the raw amount of sleep in hours isn’t actually that important for the purposes of restoring the brain’s ability to function properly; some data indicates that the grogginess we feel when waking up sometimes has more to do with our sleep being interrupted during a sleep cycle as opposed to at the end of one. So, theoretically, it’s possible a sleep-deprived person might feel quite refreshed after just two hours of sleep. But again, I’m no expert.
I bet literally any sleep after that much time awake feels amazing. Good fucken luck getting me up after though, waking up probably hurts until you’re rested by that point.
Eh for me it’s about 60hrs. They’re minor hallucinations at that point and you’re still lucid enough to understand that they’re not real. But it just further cements that you’re being tortured by your own body. I see things in my peripheral vision, mostly. Things crawling on the floor, liquid running down the walls, faces are distorted until I look at them front on. It’s not a good time.
