However a person can attempt to reach a state of homeostasis or balance with the chemicals that are produced in the body. I've noticed that with out the proper amount of sleep one tends to experience lack of bladder control not to say that an "accident" would occur but at that point you would have a greater urgency to go the same goes for bowel control. I haven't actually had any "accidents" per say but I've had to make a quick get-away to the restroom if you know what I mean.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('227','Daniel Cobb'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('227','Daniel Cobb','I have gone 3 days before w\/o sleep there is actually no catching up on sleep.

I didn't sleep on the plane from Montreal, so the local time might have been 8AM, but it felt like 3AM to me. At the end of the day, I was just shuffling along, barely taking pictures with my tour group. My short-term memory was shot; I couldn't remember if I had just said something or if I just thought it. Not a fun time.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('177','Mandz'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('177','Mandz','I was sleep-deprived at the worst possible time: on my first visit to downtown London.
