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.

that kind of sleep deprivatioin causes long term affects. It's like drug abuse man. Doing it once probably isnt too bad but more than that is compounding the problem. But it's your life so hope you win the bet

are you retarded, why would you work out on cocaine or any strong stimulant thats completely stupid. and staying up for many days for no reason is stupid too, i've been up for ages on amphetamines and its not even fun after a few days

I stayed up for 6 days straight, but, I would cheat and drink a coke here and there, also I beleive that the caffine boost I gained was insignifficant.. I always wanted to experience a "hallucinagenic" trip without the use of drugs and I found out that depriving yourself of sleep can lead to hallucinations after 5 days or so. So, me and a friend wanted to stay up for that long and write down what we saw(while we were playing sc) and then fall the fuck asleep.

Success! IT WAS HORRIBLE OMG just go to sleep... I never could go to sleep correctly after fucking my sleep pattern up like that. @_@

I did experience hallucinations though, but, not any grand ones or anything. I'd think my mom was in my room sometimes and I could hear her talking to me and everything but, then I'd realize it's 5:00 a.m. in the morning and she's asleep and couldn't possibly be anywhere near me. I'd see lights at the peripherys of my eyes, shadows that didn't belong to some objects, weird light animals that would crawl on the ceiling and some tunnel vision sometimes(and this was before I had tried any drug.. I hadn't even gotten drunk yet. I had no idea what a drug experience was like back then). It wasn't like 'woaaaaah omg awesome' when it was happening though; I was scared as shit when I'd hear my mom calling me and all these strange noises throughout the night. Worst 6 days ever~ XD

sounds... interesting. Then again, i liked my 1400mg DXM trip which a lot of people find overwhelming, so who knows, maybe i'll enjoy "strange light animals crawling on the ceiling" (if i get there)

please do some research before calling another person an idiot.
my criticizive friend, people can, and have, gone for weeks without sleep without any harm. Not only that, but people with Fatal Familial Insomnia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_Familial_Insomnia) often go for several months without any REM sleep before they finally die from lack of sleep.

Whose the idiot now?

This is my 12 hour check in :D my friend and i are still going strong, 27 hours and 8 minutes so far.

You are an idiot, you took some obscure disease that has 50 detected cases in all history, a disease you obviously have no clue about but just read 2 lines about people passing 2 months without sleep and think hey risking migraines, hallucinations, not to mention the incredible mood youre gonna be in, etc. for staying awake for 4 days is totally ok for 1 day's worth of work?

You could have at least looked up the guiness and know that the record is 11 days without sleep.

On June 17 2009 05:37 ghermination wrote:


Not only did i read about that disease, but i read about other cases. Believe me, it is difficult to die from lack of rem sleep. After 9-10 days the body starts taking "micro-naps", where you slip into rem sleep, which is what causes the hallucinations. Dont believe me? i'll post sources.

probably no worse for you than serious binge drinking


a lot less fun though

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
