Why does lack of sleep make people hyper?

i dont now but that happens to me all the time maybe it because we subconsciously we are actually dreaming so we do stupid stuff well at lest i do some advice its not cool when you get hit by a car trying to run from the law ^^

Oh my god that is genius. Ima start doing that.

haha yeah it just makes you kinda loopy… once i hadnt slept in two nighs and the next day i went to school, i was out of it so they sent me home from school because they thought i was high…

lack of sleep makes me completely loony to the point where i laugh at everything, :) i enjoy it , it mkes people think im crazy, funny stuff :)

have you tried taking sleeping pills to make you go to sleep because i take ambien to make me fall asleep

Why on earth would I wanna sleep faster lol.

Lol that is completely true XL

i completely agree with you on that,also when i’m tired i don’t shut up, i just talk and talk about nothing haha

ikr omg happens to me alot I go to school and slap someone and then I laugh uncontorllably

I think it’s your brains way of resting, it shuts down and makes things seem funny, almost as if you are drunk in a way.

omg I love when i get to that point. Its like everything is soo entertaining. And I dont know why but i loove flirting with guys when im over tired.. aha :)

when i stay up really late or dont sleep i get crazy and cant stop laughing so i would say not really hyper just insane :)

Fighting off sleep makes the brain think that you’re in a dire situation where you NEED to stay awake. As a response, adrenaline will be pumped into your bloodstream to keep you up. But then a side effect would be being hyperr.
