Sleep deprivation works too.

Same question. How long does one have to go without sleep to experience this Reality?

I would say about a week, if not a bit longer.

Over a week without any sleep?
That sounds very difficult and dangerous.

I've done it twice, it isn't dangerous, or at least it wasn't for me. Just use caffeine and never go to bed. I never go to bed anyway, I just pass out when I can't stay awake anymore, so not going to bed wasn't an issue for me. If you're not the kind of person who nautrally has profound thoughts going on in their head all the time, I would recommend meditating while trying to stay awake.

What's the longest you've gone without sleep?

After how long do you start experiencing hallucinations?

The longest was about 9 days. I never experienced hallucinations, just profound insights.

That's close to the world record. Impressive.

And no hallucinations? That seems remarkable.

No hallucinations, not unless you want to count unusual thought patterns. On that 9 day binge, I honestly thought I would just never sleep again.
