What It's Really Like With No Sleep

Avatar-50x50
Cued4 says:

Well i've been looking around online to see what the effects of no sleeping are just to see what's in store for me... and i came up with a great idea to just make a forum that i can update every 5 - 10 hours to let people know how it's going. so here it goes...

There's been a lot of stuff going on that i cant get off my mind and it's actually making sleeping kinda hard so i'm just going to stay up and just see how long i can go... Right now i'm at 35 hours and 30 minutes. Nothing really major is going on in my mind... i mean out of the corner of my eye i see what it looks like someone walking by really fast but it's nothing... I dont know whether it's from no sleep or i'm just amagining but anyway... I've got 10 cups of coffee i'm about to down so i'll be up for a while. A couple of minutes ago i was trying to tell my dad where to park his car at and i was all sketchy about it (but i think that's just from smoking way too much weed lately)... But if it gets worse i'll post it and let you know how it's going. Well it's off to work on my radio station site and what not i'll post again in 5 hours and let you know how it's going... later all

one time I was up for 50+ hours and i was so tired that i couldn't sleep. does that make sense? it was kinda weird. IMO coffee will just make it harder, esp. when you crash

That's a known fact caesar1996, and this age old experiment will not bring any new findings that we don't already have in the textbooks

Jujube, that may be true. But textbooks cannot tell you what the experience is truly like. I have always been an advocate of redundant experimentation. How can you truly trust a textbook until you have confirmed for yourself, that what it proclaims as fact is true?

meh, i've made at least 72 hours awake with the help of coffee and caffiene supplements (over the counter, nothing illegal) but in the middle of the fourth day, I unknowingly fell asleep at my computer and woke up the next day in the same chair o.o 'twas really weird. I woke up feeling like it was the same day. Gwar. I've never really had a more refreshing sleep in my life though, stressed people should try this.

I hate liars. I hate hypocrites. I hate haters. Now gimmie a hug.

53 hours was my longest wake time doing assignments, after that I got a fever and cold for two days. And because I got sick, I was late submitting my work.

No one will believe me, but I have stayed up for 3 and a half days in a row once WITHOUT help from coffee/energy drinks! By day 3 everything seemed like it didn't matter. It was like I went out of my mind. Very weird.

darksheer says:

it's technically possible to go about 5 days without sleep. A scientist tried himself to see what would happen if he would not let his body sleep.

His body went into REM with his eyes open, before he finally fell asleep no longer able to control it. From what I understand, it caused some serious brain damage and about drove him insane.

"The record for the longest period without sleep is 18 days, 21 hours, 40 minutes during a rocking chair marathon. The record holder reported hallucinations, paranoia, blurred vision, slurred speech and memory and concentration lapses."

-from "The National Sleep Research Project"

In labs rats kept awake for about 2 weeks die with no physiological symptoms.

I on a normal week...maybe once every 2-3 weeks, I stay awake for 2 days... thats no problem... just need 3 good coffees for the 2nd day... and... my record is probably like 3 days... I dunno, never really purposly tried to stay awake just for the sake of it... I'd need a really good video game or a big huge project...

but the project thing probably wouldnt work, cause I never leave myself 3 days + to do it! I procrastinate too much!

I once finished Final Fantasy 7 in 3 days tho, but I slept about 3 hours in between so it doesn't count.

/me opens eyes... "SHIT!"

Yes it's true i fell asleep about 4 1/2 hours after i posted the first entry... yes i know i wussed out and why you ask?... not a god damn clue but... this time i think i AM going to TRY and make it 3 - 4 days without sleep. In some later entry's i'll give you my address so that if i fall asleep you can come and beat me awake : |... but anyway here's the start of trial two right now i am at 10 hours... so at 6 i will post ANOTHER message... You know what's scary? I seriously thought that no one would find this thread and read it! lol i guess i proved myself wrong. If anyone would like to keep checking up on me to see if i'm awake then Instant Message me on AIM at 'Jackass110788' and check up on me hehe... well anyway it's off to work some more on my radio station. If you would like to check it out go to the URL at the bottom of the message... later all

P.S: The reason i was/am doing this is just to see what it's like... that and i hate sleep because it takes up WAY! too much time but anyway c-ya... feel free to talk to me on AIM if you would like :P
