This is a bit of a bump. Also, the third day is harder then the first two not because of how tired i am (really dont even feel "tired" anymore) but because of the fact that i have no attention span for anything... i went for a bike ride and came back after 2 minutes because it instantly became boring a repetitive. I tired to play iccup and instantly lost my appetite for games the second they started. It took me three tries to write this post. Third day is difficult, apparently after this is gets easier.

Btw, I'm pretty sure staying up for anything less than two weeks doesn't have any permanent effect on your health, you guys are idiots.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Gardner_(record_holder)

He is the current record holder, and he's doing fine today.

Gardner’s name is etched in the records however which started the famous “sleep deprivation” study. Gardner is still alive, seems to be doing fine without any long term health effects from his experiments. He said he did that experiment only that time and didn’t try to repeat it after even for a single night.

Source: http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/242559/What_happens_when_you_stay_awake_for_eleven_days_

Even if his record falls, though, Gardner won't lose any sleep over it. In fact, he hasn't pulled an all-nighter since breaking the record, he says, and generally gets about seven hours of sleep a night.

Three days is pretty impressive. I wouldn't last two days nowadays...
Sitting in front of a computer always makes me less sleepy though.

Well, heres a wrap up. At Noon, my friend conceded the contest because he was seeing spiders everywhere. I went straight to sleep and woke up 9 hours later, feeling fine. Stayed up for 71 hours this time through. More than doubled last time. That means that if we ever do this again, i need to stay up for nearly 6 days =x.

By the way, the only hallucination i had was that my ceiling lamp became a spider and seemed to lower itself down on a web. Then i blinked and it was normal.

so because you're "pretty sure" of something, we're idiots?

what about the people who have died from it? did that have an effect on their health?


yeah, we're the idiots.




and ghermination, congrats on your victory hehe

ghermination just something that came into my head.
though there are probably a lot of options similar to my idea.

You and your friend should buy 2 wow accounts with the invite a friend promo (if its still on).
It means you level faster if you play together. Power level the accounts while you are both awake
together for so long and then sell them and make a couple of hundred bucks in the process.

If any one else has any money making ideas for ghermination and his mate i'd be interested to hear.

All i can say is just No. Theres no way i'd ever even play WoW (soooo boring... i'm trying to stay awake) and not only that, its really hard to sell wow accounts, because Paypal by some wierd bylaw isn't legal/available in croatia.

I stayed up all night last night playing D2 lan with friends after only 5 hours of sleep the previous day.
at 10 am I decided to get a 2 hour combat nap before work. I'm not really tired but my vision is all delayed and I feel like I haven't slept at all, hoping to make it to at least 10pm and get a good nights sleep which will hopefully reset a proper circadian rhythm
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

slightly off-topic, thanks for the reference to Fatal Familial Insomnia, which was a very interesting thing to learn about, but after reading a little bit about it, it seems that you don't die of lack of sleep; rather you die of parts of your brain being destroyed, which incidentally causes the lack of sleep as well. correct me if I'm wrong.

Whenever I stay up the whole night to study, in the morning I get this feeling that my vision is delayed and start having body balance issues (I won't fall down or anything though). I used to be perfectly fine without sleep, then this started happening a while ago.
