61 hours, 13 minutes. 78 hours, 28 minutes. Its 8:42 AM. First day should be incredibly easy, but i've got to stay up for 5. If i manage to get 100 hours i dont think i'll do this again, it messes up my sleep patterns way too much. Like before, i'll post every successive 12 hours.   | ||

I hit roughly around the 94ish hour mark and dear god I would never do this again. Halucinations are so not worth it. | ||

I mean working out or learning guitar or something else is much more beneficial and most likely more fun. Lol i already work out quite a bit, but thats not the point. I really like to stay up, i've found after the two previous times that it kind of "grows" on you. On July 07 2009 15:50 Spazer wrote: Why do you do this to yourself? I just don't get it. Its fun. After a couple days you dont really feel tired anymore, and its very interesting to see how your mind has changed. Also lol why not? | ||

So what do you do to pass the time? My guess is after the first 48 hours you shouldn't be driving or be out of the house most likely lol. Movies and gaming? Do you get really hungry? etc. | ||

sleep pattern got screwed up to sleeping at 7-8 AM and usually waking up around 2 PM (woke up and dozed off to 4 PM one time) purposely staying up for long periods of time isn't something I would strive for | ||

People have committed suicide from extreme sleep deprivation. In fact a local radio station in Pennsylvania had a DJ that was doing a bet to see how long he could stay awake some time ago. Like after the third day or something he actually shot himself to death. I'm sure it is person-dependent. Some people can handle it way better than others. But if you are doing it just for fun, you really need to find something else more worth your time. Not unusual: "Thursday, September 15, 2005 Sleep deprivation might have caused 24-year-old Ricky Vega to drop out of the Hands on a Hardbody contest Thursday morning and kill himself, local psychologists and doctors said. "Very rarely would people in this competition go to the extreme this person did," said 20-year psychologist, Dr. Craig Moore. "This is pretty extreme, but sleep loss can cause perceptual distortions. Anything can happen." Dr. Rekha Reddy at the Good Shepherd Family Health Center said sleep deprivation interferes with cognizant function and impairs a person's judgment. "It causes an alteration in mental status. They're disoriented and may not know the date or time or what they're doing," Reddy said. Moore said sleep loss can also trigger pre-existing psychological illnesses, such as bipolar disorder and major depression. It can lead to sudden psychosis, he said. A person suffering from those disorders would have trouble thinking clearly, communicating effectively, understanding reality and behaving rationally." http://www.news-journal.com/news/content/news/stories/2005/09/15/20050915LNJhohbstress.html | ||

But why would you waste your time doing something with relatively no gain, no purpose, and is technically demobilizing any productivity for four days straight? You minds as well just take LSD and get your friends to tie you up and drop you off in the middle of some random city. ![[image loading]](http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/9823/1960slsdpropagandafilm.jpg) | ||

The process neither fun nor productive AND is a health risk. | ||

but when people say it's bad for you, they are just being honest. you kill a lot of brain cells by doing this. do you want to become stupider? I am sure there are healthier alternatives, whatever the reason you are doing it. | ||
