That's actually a line that's kinda funny

because cocaine can also cause erectile dysfunction.

I'm a psychiatrist who specializes in child,

- [The Narrator] For six months, I couldn't sleep.

- Right away, the narrator talks about being sleep-deprived.

When you are sleep-deprived, you do not think clearly.

In fact, it's considered unethical to sleep-deprive someone

sleep deprivation is considered a form of torture.

- You can see that quick flash of Tyler Durden coming up.

And he's saying everything's a copy of a copy of a copy.

"Fight Club" is, I'm guessing, purposefully, unclear

as to what is going on with The Narrator.

Here, you see him have this hallucination.

This is very common with sleep deprivation.

you can first start to get very confused,

and then, after time, you can have some delusions

And the hallucinations in sleep deprivation can be complex.

You can actually have auditory and visual hallucinations.

You can actually have distortions even of your own body.

The Narrator looks quite different from Tyler Durden.

So there's quite a change in how he appears.

You can also believe you are someone else.

In fact, in studies of sleep-deprived individuals,

some of them said, "I felt like I was another person."

A lot of themes in "Fight Club" have to do with

here you have this group of men fighting each other

and does that actually make people have more delusions

In the beginning of the movie, after he goes to the group,

there is a moment when he cries and then he sleeps.

There can be a very cathartic experience.

that helps you move on with it in your life.

There can be a release of emotions when you cry,

and it doesn't surprise me that he would sleep.

about 50% of the time you've been deprived

in order to get back to a baseline functioning cognitively

and behaviorally, the way you were before.

and maybe that's why we actually see Tyler Durden

because he's more and more sleep-deprived.

showing how people that were sleep-deprived

responded to certain texts, just reading texts.

Those that were sleep-deprived for about 35 hours,

and they actually did a scan in the brain.

They showed that the connections between the amygdala,

where your emotions are kinda centered in your brain,

and the frontal cortex, where you can actually organize them

when you're sleep state is actually good.

When you're sleep-deprived, there's not a connection.

And, instead, you go into this fight or flight reaction

who's become this cocaine emperor, essentially.

He is so high, that he has missed on the screens earlier

that all these people are invading his home.

He's also becoming more and more paranoid
