i've had my share of sleep deprivation, your up and you either irrtible and manic, or ... it wears you down but sleep deprivation can do 2 things, 1 increase your dopamine levels in exhange for more energy. Then when you have been deprivated of sleep, you crave sweet and fatty foods, because the days i went without sleep, or low sleep, i had to the hospital, but i kept craving candy - it was just out of the blue, and i hate tons of it. Later researched and found gluocose is a source of energy, so people who hvent slept well crave sugary or fatty foods, i guess to make up for the sleep, and produce gluocose. I am not a professional but it popped in my head when i was deprived, i craved food, sugary food, most of the time. It's a body reaction to make up for energy. Days without sleep, seems surreal and your focus and cognitive abilties are altered, mostly decreased.
