A few months ago, a friend and i challenged eachother to a "sleep deprivation challenge" i managed to stay awake for 3 days, 16 hours, 48 minutes. Today we're at it again, with the much higher bet of 300 kuna. (about 60 USD)Right now i'm at just 18 hours, this is the first night =x. The rules are that we cannot use any illegal drugs to keep us awake, also no caffeine pills. Right now i'm working on a huge essay, so it should be easy to stay awake. See you at 9:25 tonight, TL. (I'll be posting every 12 hours)

Man it would take a lot more than 60 bucks to get me to do that. You guys are crazy. I've suffered from insomnia before, not getting any significant sleep for about a week and I've never felt worse in my life. Actually, you couldn't pay me to subject myself to something like that.

On that note, I'm going to sleep. Mmmmmmmm.

I see your week and raise you another week.

And yeah, shit totally sucked. I might have felt worse when I had chicken pox or something, but that was when I was 6 and I don't really remember.

Oddly, I can still deal pretty well with all nighters and low sleep situations to a point. Anything past about 30 hours is just totally not worth it, though.

It would probably take me two days to write a script like that because i fail at scripting.

Also i dont know why i should cheat, i've always wanted to push my body to the limit , i do it all the time weightlifting, running etc. why not do it with not sleeping?

First reason : academics. I hope you have little constraints these weeks.
Second reason : your health, but if that's just an occasional stunt, it may not be that bad.
Third reason : it's stupid and pointless. But I did it myself a few years ago, so maybe I shouldn't say that =p

sorry to be a downer yo, but if risking your health is worth 60 dollars + some small modicum of pride, you really need to find something to do

Because those are good for your health, whereas sleep deprivation is bad?

this also means that even though you're up, you're not doing anything, really. because of the IM requirement, you cant even leave the computer. hopefully youre good at 14 minute shits
