Slowing down of mental activities.
Wants to flight or wants to sleep weakness & cramp of muscles
Vision impaired more so for night vision.
these effect happen at 10-1500 & gett [sic] worse until you gett [sic] to 2600 when you will pass out but you have no idea when it is going to happen.
If you have too much alcohol this also happen but when coming round from oxygen lack you feel perfectly O.K & have no idea you passed
