Effects of Sleep Deprivation and Tulpamancy

[[Insert_Name_Here]]

Hello tulpa.info community. It's been a while since I've been on here (college you know how it is) but I've been trying to keep up with tulpamancy as best as I can. However for a while I've hit a bit of a problem that, while it doesn't appear to be harmful to Elisae, has been something of a nuisance to us.

 

For a while now I've been finding it hard to enter my wonderland and be able to talk to her freely, and it's hard for her to reach out to me, with her only capable of giving me head pressures after hard concentration when she wants to talk to me, let alone actually talk whenever she wants. In those rare instances where I can talk to her freely, her voice is faint and I can easily lose connection to her. In order to be able to actually talk to her affectively and do anything with her I have to enter my wonderland first. To add on to the trouble, I'm even having trouble entering my wonderland! I can't just close my eyes and enter it anymore! It's like there's this big wall between me and it, and Elisae is on the other side of that wall.

 

Now I have developed a way around these problems involving me imagining diving into my brain, and then, if I want to enter my wonderland, imagining myself floating into some kid of white light (not sure if that's the right description or not for it) which would ultimately end in me getting connected to my wonderland form and being able to be in my wonderland. If I just want to passive force with Elisae (assuming a pre-existing connection was there, which I can only form by entering my wonderland) I then focus on her presence by imagining her form in the darkness and grabbing onto it and focusing on her as much as possible, then "pull" her out of my brain. These things are now the only way I can do anything involving tulpamancy.

 

Now, this entire semester I've been sleep deprived, as I can only get five to five and a half hours of sleep. On top of that I'm extremely busy with schoolwork so I don't have as much time for tulpamancy as I used to which is certainly having an affect on my tulpamancy abilities, but could sleep deprivation be a contributor to this issue me and Elisae are having? I'm asking because during the first about month or so of this semester our tulpamancy ability didn't seem too much affected but as time wore on things got harder and harder for us and my lack of sleep has started to wear me down as I sometimes start to dose off in the library and before my first class starts. Any input would be great, because it's become quite annoying that I can't even passive force without having to put in a great deal of concentration that I also have to put in to active force.

I also have problems with forcing while Im tired but thats definitly not as bad as your problem. Its just harder to concentrate for me. The only thing I think you could do is sleep more. Sorry.

A sleep deprived mind, when it comes to general focus overall does not function as well as a well rested mind. I'd agree with Adamai in this case because this sleep deprivation is not only affecting your ability to force but it is also taking its effect on your tulpa in the scenario that Elisae is indeed present. People don't know all that much about how sleep does affect tulpas from their own part, some tulpas just sleep in the same while their hosts do, some others sleep at different times. With that being said, what you could do when you wake up, or when you have the time to do so, is symbolically put Elisae back to sleep, as in, enter your mindscape, put her in a bed with comfort and good wishes for rest, and see how that goes for you. The body, no, the brain is something that both you and Elisae feed off from, and I do understand the busy schedule, but you should take it easier overall if it is possible.

Hello. Sorry for the delay. Ya, that's pretty much what I thought Anderson. Thing is for the most part Elisae continues sleeping after I wake up if I don't get a enough sleep (found this out in a quick active forcing session before class started about a month or so ago) though there's been plenty of times where she's been awake a little after I woke up. So ya you've pretty much confirmed what I've been thinking. On the up side I can get enough sleep on the weekend days but until the semester ends I can't really do anything about my sleep schedule. I guess this semesters just going to be rough on both me and her. Thanks for answering the question Anderson and adamaï.
