OK, so this is how it is

[Blank Verse]

it's 20 after 8 in the morning. I have been up since 12:30 yesterday afternoon. Yes, we're talking roughly 20 hours here. In 40 minutes, I will be writing a philosophy final on no sleep. And I'm going to ace it. You heard me right, -----, ace it. Then after that, I'm going to bed, and I'm not getting up until next week.

I don't know why I write this, but I suspect my old friend sleep deprevation may have something to do with it. But in any case, I've said it and there's nothing you can do about it. :p

yeah, I'm done now. Wish me luck.

My hero. :rolleyes:


A week without water? If you do make it... well, then you made it, and you'll get to give yourself a pat on the back. If you don't...... let's hope we won't one day realize you've suddenly stop posting here. :D

[Blank Verse]

a week without water? that sounds like a challenge...let me know how it turns out :p

anywho, yeah, the test was a -----, but I still know I did really well. I didn't ace it, that was the lack of sleep talking, bu yeah, it's good to get it done and over with.

I'm on hour 29 right now. I'm kind of forcing myself to stay awake so I can go to bed at a normal time, so I don't ---- up my sleeping patterns too much.

He was talking about your week long sleep, mister sleep deprived......

[Blank Verse]

still going. I think I'll go pass out around 11 or so. should be fun.

[notnamed]

I can't do that. I'd like to try to, but I don't think I could. Perhaps over christmas eve...no need to be awake on christmas day. I'm hoping 18WoS:AA and Restaurant Empire will help me...maybe The Sims...

Final count was 39 hours. I thought going for 40, would be intriguing, you know, a nice round number. But I knew that if I made it that far, I'd probably end up shooting for 48, and I didn't want that.

Good job. I've only gone overnight I think once. Not on purpose, either. It was many years ago when I was in cubs (ie, younger than a scout). We had a sleepover at a museum, and for some reason I just couldn't sleep...but I still wasn't tired the next morning, because I was just lying there...so my body was still rested. Since then, I think I've managed to catch a couple hours of sleep everyday between say 10 PM and 10 AM the next day. Just thought you'd all like to know.

Try going 39 hours without food. I did the 30 hour famine once...it was pretty stupid. It's not like I was really starving...I was just weak, and wanted to taste something other than water. I'd much rather not sleep than not eat.

Don't they let you have like a granola bar every x hours or something? If you sleep most of the 30 hours you won't notice you're hungry...;)

[Blank Verse]

I've done involuntary 30 hour famines (ie. being sick)

actually, now that I think about it, when I was in the hospital last year, I didn't physically eat anything for 3 weeks. They wouldn't let me. I was on a strict diet of lipids and proteins being fed to me through an IV. I lost 15 pounds that way. I remember when I was finally able to eat again, my jaw hurt trying to chew food. And it was scrambled eggs!
