Lack of sleep causes hallucinations different from insanity - insane people find it very difficult or impossible to distinguish between a hallucination and reality because the part of their brain that checks for normality in a situation is also broken. Level-1 sleep hallucinations do not make it through this (for lack of a better term) "sanity filter" in a sane human being.
Transcript
- [Woozy Cueball walks and speaks.]
Cueball: The sleep deprivation madness worsens.

[Cueball approaches a tree with a squirrel on it.] Cueball: I'm pretty sure I'm hallucinating this tree.
Cueball: But what if I'm hallucinating that I'm hallucinating, and I'm actually totally sane? Squirrel: Listen. Squirrel: I wouldn't worry about that.

I think the squirrel did not mean not to worry about his hallucination. The squirrel's comment is a joke that cueball should not consider the possibility that he is totally sane. He is not sane and this is obvious even to the hallucinated squirrel. 141.101.97.225 11:46, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
What if the squirrel is the one hallucinating? 173.245.54.151 (talk) 03:20, 2 April 2015β (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
I believe that the squirrel was telling him not to worry about "that" in particular, and that he has *bigger* problems. 162.158.79.71 00:39, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
There might be a missed joke in the title text: squirrels are "nuts" and are thus not experts on mental health. 162.158.238.223 01:05, 30 May 2023 (UTC) Add comment
