Sleep!

I know a few people were talking about not sleeping.

Me and AbSoRb tried it… He fell asleep at 6am and I fell asleep the next day at 2am. I don't know how people could go longer.

Here is the record:- The current world record for the longest period without sleep is 11 days, set by Randy Gardner in 1965. Four days into the research, he began hallucinating. This was followed by a delusion where he thought he was a famous footballer. Surprisingly, Randy was actually functioning quite well at the end of his research and he could still beat the scientist at pinball.

Can anyone beat it!?

Interesting… My record is 3 days…well, 2, and i passed out on the third day. got sent home from school…it probably wasn't the best idea. Also, i somehow doubt that anyone's gonna beat 11 days, but I am curious to see how long everyone can go…

Haha I agree. I also don't want to be hallucenating unless I'm in a controlled environment… =\

Wow, I thought I was insomniac. But 11 days? That's wacko. My record is 2 days and a half – I started getting headaches on my 3rd day, so I finally went to bed, and surprisingly didn't sleep that much (I got 7hours of sleep, and was ready to do it again).

What techniques do you guys use to keep awake? Mine is music: while on the computer… (Blanks & Jones, Armin Van Buuren, DJ Yahel, and Infected Mushroom keep me company in my late nights).

Wow…I don't think I could stay awake longer than 24 hours if my life depended on it… =/

Jolt. Lots of jolt. And talking to people. And also sort of paranoia.

When my friend gets back from boot camp I'll ask him….I think his was like a little over a week.

Mine was about 5 and a half days. This took about.. I don't know maybe 5 12 packs of soda.

Mines only 2 and a half days with absalutely no sleep. The only thing I need to do it, is a computer

Mines 4 days, 3 days at a scout camp then one on my computer.

11!!!! Wow, how much caffine did he take?

My record is about, dunno, 35 hours. Not really much, I know.

11 days is really sick.

mine is 26 hours… on the other hand i have slept non stop for three days…

well so far right now im a lil over a day with no sleep, wait i take that back i got 20 min this morn. but yea my record was liek 5 days. and the thing that kept me up? the computer, and a shit load of monsters. after 5 days my body literlly shuts down.

i couldn go more than 20 hours wid no sleep i love sleepin lo fav past time as well as a lil shaggin lol

I've managed to keep awake for about 56 hours at a LAN-party… Then my girlfriend forced me to sleep :angry:

well, my record is of 4 days… i have to sumbit the project at my college and didnt completed in past month… and then i took complete 4 days to finish the entire project of one month duration… lol… wht a stupid im :D

atm ive skipped two nights of sleep and going for a third. tho you can notice you havnt sleeped for a while cuz right now at work we are fixing the roof of one of the buildings and there are from time to time that you without even knowing it yourself close your eyes for a sec or so. so when you do open them again its always a nice suprise to see how close you where of actually falling of the roof :) right now im up at an average of 10-15 hustler cans per day (for those of you who dont know what hustler is, and god forbid, it is an energy drink like redbull and it is what my has been running through my veins the last couple years)

my record is 4 days i just went on jogs everymorning and drank alot of rockstars :D

once i had like 20 energy drinks in 12 hours (Literally) so i didnt sleep for like 4 days and thats my record

PS if u drink that many energy drinks in that amount of time dont chew spearmint gum it made me throw up

My current record is about 1 day and a half, but i wasn't trying :) It was the night I got Counter-Strike, and I played non stop :P

Im seriously considering going for a record as long as I can :D

In fact, I'll try to start tomorrow!! (its 4:32am Thursday). I'll probably need to tell my parents first, so they know what I'm doing, and why (if) im acting crazy. I'll rest up all today. I'll probably sleep untill 1 or 2pm (then i get woken up). Then ill explain to my mum :D:D

WISH ME LUCK !

lol my friend drank like 20 redbulls once and couldnt stop puking

i get the 24 oz rockstar energy drinks

i think i once stayed up for 5-6 days straight. im not exact on that.. but my friends could tell.

im wanting to do it again tho. i love not sleeping.. but the boredom of school right now wont mix well..

hm.

guess i cant do it for a while then. i can definatly break 11 days tho im sure. teh scientist is older and doesnt have as much stamina and energy as a teen.

Two days at the moment for me, that's not my longest, I've done about 4 or so, but at the moment it's two, I'll update if I can be arsed to make it to 3 :)

Caffeine and HBH helps :)

Im going for 3 ! :) It'll be a personal best, and I can't really do anymore becasue of school (maybe 4 at a stretch). Starting tomorrow morning, I will not sleep for 72 hours !!

Besides, I've bet my brother a pound I can do it, so theres money iunvolved :P

Well i think my record is about 50 hours or more! I have problems falling asleep…it sucks!:xx:

Well I'm still awake, so this is almost 3 days, I'm feeling drained though, I've been working on a realistic challenge for ages and doing other stuff too, so I'm in a bit of a "fuck it" mood, I need sleep :|

Fuck it, I'm going to sleep

well mine is 65 hours which is 7 hours from a full 3 days with no sleep. i could definately go longer in the summer but due to school and how easy it is for me i would sleep for the whole week lol. my guess if i had plenty of soda, no parents yellin at me, and no school - 4-6 days. Usually after the first 24-48 hours, i feel like i actually slept for awhile and i get this new energy…its kinda weird. I usually just play World of Warcraft to keep me up :D

I'm on just under 18 hours so far, and its 4:00am :)

I'm feeling ok, but I'm starting having doubts about the full 3 days… i havn't really slept much during the holidays (up till 5 or 6am most of the time) So i think it might be catching up with me :(

my record is the one i got during these last couple of days. i first skipped 2 nights and then at the third night i sleept for one hour :(( then i was up for a day and fell dead as a rock into bed at that night. so my record is exactly 72 hours.. its alright i guess atleast untill we through up our lan :) then ill beat it for sure. btw during these 72 hours i drank the grand total of 3x24 cans of Hustler <3 (for those of you who are unfamiliar with hustler it is an energy drink like red bull and it is what has been running through my veins the last couple of years)

Grrr… I'm annoye with myself… It's only been 24 hours (and 4 mins), and I want to go to sleep ! My mind keeps saying "concentrate! keep awake ! "

Then my body tries to go limp and i ywan alot :(

Well, im still hoping for 3 days, but it may be 2 , (or less). Damn my tired body ! I think it's time I stated trying more coffee :)

AbSoRb keep it up, remember during times like this caffeine is your best friend ;)

Training is the key Absorb… and maybe some redbull and coffee too ;)

plenty of cereal and if you feel drowsy go put your wrist under a cold tap and wash your face with cold water.

cereals good because it released energy steadily so you should have a constant supply of released energy if you eat enuogh which should help you staying awake.

and after like 30 hours you'll get to the point where you dont feel tired anymore and you can start the day again.

good luck absorb!

Funny how people are claiming 20 powerdrinks kept em up for days on end, cause they have the exact opposite effect. Theyll give you a couple hours of extreme energy boost, then drop your energy level down waaay below normal, making you more tired than you where to begin with. Plus I doubt any1 can survive 20 powerdrinks one after another without lasting effects…

I only need one Dr.Pepper a night and I could stay up nonstop. My record is 4-5 days without it though. 9 days with it.

Thanks for all the advice, I probably could've used it… but I got really tired :(

At 5:30am I was struggling to keep my eyes open, they were hurting, and I coudln't stay awake :xx: I slept untill 4pm and now I feel better, but I came 30 hours short of my goal. I don't have the time to try again (damn school), but I may have another attempt in the next holidays :) (not neccesarily next summer)

Oh well, I still got a personal best :D And did it without the aid of energy drinks (mainly beacause I didn't have the time to buy them)
