Once the second day hits, you are basically incapable of thinking at all. Normal conversation is a major problem. You can't enjoy anything or feel many emotions beyond complete frustration.
It's really horrible. To the point that sleeping pills have really saved my sanity at couple points in my life. I have to laugh at people that say don't take them. They have been at times the only thing keeping me a functioning member of society.
On the bright side, when you do finally conk out. It's the greatest relief in the world. I don't have it anymore. I sleep great most nights. I just have to control it really well and put sleep paramount to pretty much everything.

Yep, pretty much sums it up for me. That hollow stomach, uber fatigued feeling, 15 second time delay effect that comes from a night or two of sleeplessness is so common I barely notice it any more.
