but I didn't feel as though my mind was functioning abnormally slowly or anything...though that was probably a sleep-deprivation-induced delusion. :)

Just look at the rambling above while Rach3 was insisting he wasn't experiencing any bad effects of sleep-deprivation. You lose the ability to realize how loopy you get.

It's not healthy to mess with your sleep rhythms, but it is easier to adjust to anything that is a multiple of 24 hours (i.e., stay awake 36 h and sleep 12 is easier than staying awake 24 and sleeping 12) because it keeps you from shifting completely off your normal sleep time.

This summer I am going to be working 12 hour rotating day and night shifts. I'm sure that will wreak havoc with my sleeping patterns haha.
