Yeah, I suffer from chronic pain, too, though not to the degree that you appear to. It’s kind of funny because I know I’m really tired or mentally exhausted when I start noticing all the pain I normally have, but just haven’t even noticed for hours before.
Your brain can take a hell of a lot of abuse until it can’t.
I was holding it together for nearly 3 decades before it was unable to keep up with major sleep deprivation anymore. 10-12 hours of sleep a night and a nap midday couldn’t keep me going.
I was blacking out time while driving, had barely any memory, had involuntary muscle spasms and couldn’t physically recover from injury in a reasonable time.
Once I started on CPAP I recovered by leaps and bounds, I sleep way less but am fully present in the world, like being on high dose of caffeine without taking anything.
I’m struggling myself there, my mental acuity has dropped, so has my social ability, understanding, and learning. I have UARS and need to get it fixed. I sleep in excess and its never quality. Several sleep studies showed I wake from REM 15-20 times an hour (not to consciousness though).

It’s impressive what the mind can tolerate.
