insomniac · 16th February 2002, 18:59

the farthest ive gone is 5 days too...horrible shit

Spiffed · 16th February 2002, 20:32

4:30 and i'm going out to get some lunch, only 40.5hrs left

Curi0us_George · 16th February 2002, 20:51

RM = rox0r.

Ian the Korean · 16th February 2002, 21:55

Keep on going, your almost there! To insanity that is.

Your going to feel like shit afterward though.

stttafffy · 16th February 2002, 22:32

ok, wel it is 6:31 pm. i am falling asleep so i had to writ when it whas. this means i was up for 51.5 hours. good luck to everyone else

/me falls over

PabUK · 16th February 2002, 22:57

Well that we pretty impressive stttafffy! I remember in #PabUK when you decided to make such an attempt, you said you were trying for 48 hours, so you beat that by far.

c2R · 16th February 2002, 23:38

Congrats stttafffy. That's longer than I managed when I needed to do it.

The only real way I think of doing any longer is keeping the brain occupied by talking with someone.

Spiffed · 17th February 2002, 00:51

8:50 now, which means i've been up for, um, let me check the counter... 38hrs now, only 36 left

piesupreme · 17th February 2002, 02:09

dude, keep it up. if you stay awake for over the 5 days i did, i salute you, friend. i would try to compete against you this week, but i have work to go to. damn work. i might take a week off, just to remember that feeling of turning into an insomniac. and loving it.

keep it up, dude, and remember: have cold baths/showers! you'll wake up a treat.

Spiffed · 17th February 2002, 02:14

thx for the advice piesupreme, and i have to go to work too!! (and school and other things) and perhaps this is far from the week for me to do it, what with our school reving up for the sears festival and all.. but ah well... it's now or never

Spiffed · 17th February 2002, 03:02

oops, reality broke, it's 11:00 now, and it's 38hrs in, my last post was wrong... either way... only 34hrs left

henry3k56 · 17th February 2002, 03:05

I don't get how you can stay awake that long! I can't even stay up that long. Most I've done is 21 hours. Most I've slept is 12 hours.

Spiffed · 17th February 2002, 03:10

longest i've slept is 10hrs... but staying up for this long is easy, you just need to be distracted

Ian the Korean · 17th February 2002, 03:13

Wow Spiffed thats really impressive how you've stayed up so long, but if you've got important stuff coming up at school you may want to attempt this another time. Make sure your priorities are straight.

henry3k56 · 17th February 2002, 03:17

shortest I've slept was 3 hours.

Spiffed · 17th February 2002, 03:19

meh, school is just a bigger distraction to stay awake... besides... it's not like highschool matters much.. i need to maintain a 60% average to get into my college. Which i could do with one eye closed and both hands behind my back (well, ok, maybe only one hand behind my back)

Ian the Korean · 17th February 2002, 03:23

It was just a suggestion, just want to make sure you don't get in trouble because of it. Shortest I've ever slept was 45 minutes, it was as soon as I got in my classroom until the bell rang.

henry3k56 · 17th February 2002, 03:40

Oops, I should have been more specific. I meant 3 hours of sleep, in between 2 long days.

Ian the Korean · 17th February 2002, 03:45

But days are not long, they are always 24 hours.

I should have been more specific too. That was 1st period Monday after I had been up all week end. Hadn't slept since 6:30 in the morning on Friday.

SSJ4 Gogitta · 17th February 2002, 03:46

longest ive stayed up is 3 days... the day before school, the next school day, and the next school day...

First and 2nd day of class...anxiety...lol

henry3k56 · 17th February 2002, 04:09

All you guys and girls who don't have school (Presidents Day..USA) Theres that holiday. You guys can test your awakeness now!!!!

Spiffed · 17th February 2002, 04:38

Well, it's 12:30 and i'm going to go hang out with some friends who just got off the night shift...

i'll see everyone again in a couple hourse

(only 32.5 left)

Spiffed · 17th February 2002, 18:18

argh... 52hrs and 31 minutes and my eyelids won't stay open anymore... i'm going to sleep, i'll try this again sometime when i'm allowed caffine... and with more then a 4hr nap (after a 30hr work day) before hand

Merlin · 17th February 2002, 18:25

Was there ever a bigger exercise in futility?

Spiffed · 17th February 2002, 18:33

perhaps yes... after jumping in my neighbours pool i feel awake and raring to go (it's +2 celcius out, brr)

stttafffy · 17th February 2002, 19:01

spiffed! still up! good job. youve beaten me, too! i just woke up from 23 hours of sleep, so i feel fine. i fell asleep because my roomate passed out, so i had noone to talk to, and ******* was empty, and so was #pabuk, and i watched all the movies i had, and i tok a skower but then i fell asleep anyway. it was fun, i might make it a weekly thing. anyway, go spiffed go!

Spiffed · 17th February 2002, 19:31

Well, 54hrs in, and after a swim in my neighbours pool i still feel good, now i'm watching the matrix (at full volume) to try to stay up

Lain · 18th February 2002, 00:14

wow, 54 hours is a long time. I wouldn't even make it to 24 hours. Besides, I like to sleep. Sleep is good. Dreams are even better.

stttafffy · 18th February 2002, 00:48

im going to try to beat my own record next weekend mwahahahaha

henry3k56 · 18th February 2002, 01:33

good luck!

Spiffed · 18th February 2002, 01:36

OMG, i don't beleive it, i've been up for over 60hrs now... this is amazing (BTW, those of you trying to do the math between my posts, don't bother... i realized the clock on my second computer was set wrong (about an hr behind... so all the posts taken off that machine are a wee bit off)

perhaps i can last the next 11.5hrs out.. perhaps

Spiffed · 18th February 2002, 01:39

oh, just so were clear on what 60hrs feels like:
My hands are shaking uncotrollably, my face looks like i'm dead... my whole body is cold, and if i don't physically do something for 3min or so, my eyelids droop

henry3k56 · 18th February 2002, 01:46

Hopefully you finish 72 hours of non-stop awakeness. Why the heck do you stay up this long anyways?

Spiffed · 18th February 2002, 01:48

Because it would seem to be a challenge... something i've never done before without the help of caffine (and so far sugar). It's my twisted, f**ed up brain, i call this an acomplishment

rm' · 18th February 2002, 02:16

The same reason all those crazies are competing in the Olympics. And let's not forget every motivational speaker's favorite quote. When asked why he risked his life to climb Mt. Everest, Sir Hillary replied, "Because it was there".

henry3k56 · 18th February 2002, 02:20

Because it was there...I think you guys are taking this too far, a guy has gotta sleep, and rest. As for the Oympics, its a sport, a general sports that people compete. THey don't suffer like sleep deprivation.

Tell that to a triathlete or hockey player.

Spiffed · 18th February 2002, 02:28

This is hardly sleep dep, and it's hardly suffering... there are things which put your body into much worse things then mines in now (some of which i've been through)

Spiffed, and stttafffy haven't gotten sleep in a 24 hour day, thats sleep deprivation. The triathlete or hockeyplayer do get some sleep, or else the suck at performance.

i do beleive RM was saying they DO suffer the same way as people in sleep deprivation. They just suffer for different reasons. And BTW: Spiffed and Sttaffy didn't receive sleep for more then a 48hr day
