sleep deprivation as a means for clearer(but still unusually fogged) thinking?

Sorry, it’s not a contribution, but I was wondering if any of you have ever tried writing while deprived of your usual amount of sleep? I think it works pretty well, though I’ve never tried pure sleep deprivation, without weed, booze, caffeine, or pills(or combinations). I just want to know if it works for anyone else? And drugs? Any favorite drugs any uses from time to time? I like lsd and aderol and of course herb and whiskey.My personal effects: Whiskey seems to let me act impusively(more so than other drinks), weed puts me in a happy fog, lsd is good for absurd but pure and fully-formed thoughts,but above all, I like aderol. I’m not sure what it’s for, I get it from kids at school. But thoughts come to me and form very quickly and I’m very happy and energetic and I talk and write a lot. That’s sort of what sleep deprivation does to me. Of course sober writing is just as good, but is there anything you like to do to change your perception & experience?
