Does anyone else hear music in their head when they are up for 24+ hours?

It's pretty comfy doing all nighters, studying for an exam, drinking nothing but coffee and listening to your backlog so you can come back home and sleep for the rest of the day.

once upon a time I went to sleep at 10:30pm, woke up at 6am, in time to get my meal prep done and take a shower before uni

happens every day, love that story

i show up sleep deprived to work every monday

I hear music (original) when i stay up after 12 pm (and lie down)
i haven't tried recording it yet, i don't know why
maybe because it goes away when i stand up

Animal Collective already recorded that song

I find when I am real sleep deprived music stands out more to me. Like in the production of songs i hear stuff I haven't heard in previous listens.

My auditory imagination gets crazy vivid when I'm sleep deprived, wonder why that is. In general I do a lot of my composing entirely in my head anyway, but it just happens more spontaneously and tangibly when tired.

But also as well as hearing music, when I'm sleep deprived and I finally do lay down to sleep I can end up hearing all sorts of shit like shouting and bangs and I can't turn them off which is a bit annoying.

this happens to me too as well as the room noise around me getting crazily amplified in my head

I've done similar stuff before, sleep deprivation for me is really helpful for creativity because it removes a lot of inhibitions I'd have when fully aware. Just make sure you go back another time when you're rested and check over everything you do, a lot of times I'll think something is the greatest shit in the world when I record it in a sleep-deprived semi-delirium but then when I listen to it later I realize it's just shit

I've always found that lying down free of all stimuli while sleep deprived is the best way to get all kinds of unique creative ideas going. The problem is it's almost impossible to use anything you come up with because either you get up to write it down or record it and lose that state of mind or you fall asleep and can't remember anything good the next day

I work grave 11pm to 7am. I barely sleep. I feel unhealthy and shitty constantly. I haven't made music since I got this job. I don't think sleep deprivation helps. As a matter of fact I think you will do better well rested and healthy.

its probably because by that time its dark out, so your visual stimulus is deprived, so your audiotourial gears run faster

ITT bad musicians think sleep deprivation will help their "creativity"

I can't play guitar for shit when I'm sleep deprived, so writing that way is a little difficult. My favorite melodies are ones I've come up with while sleep deprived and managed to get into Guitar Pro before forgetting them.
