I don't have any trouble with that! Just put me in front of a TV on a lazyboy chair and I can go to sleep in a minute!

Reminds of the time during training I started hallucinating and seeing things after going without sleep two nights. Now this was just during ROTC summer training while in college, so I'm not making any claim of being anyone except someone who hallucinated after being sleep deprived. The two things I remember are these:

1. We were walking single file down a trail in the woods. I saw a white mini-ufo floating along beside me. It floated alongside me in the dark for a couple of minutes and then vanished.

2. Later that night, in position behind a log with a buddy. I look out and see a little man -- kind of like a leprechaun except he was solid white -- sitting on a stump about 20 meters away. I described him to my buddy and asked if he could see him. He said yes. Seriously.

Most interesting was that I knew these were hallucinations, but even knowing it did not keep me from seeing them.

It sounded like basic for the most part, but I think it was describing airborne training. I never saw anyone puke after eating though. I went for stuff like cottage cheese that did not require chewing so I could eat more.

I do remember being tired though.
