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.


Lol well i've researched it for hours and hours, considering i have a lot of free time when i'm not sleeping. And i'm not really worried AT ALL about doing any lasting damage from staying up for 5-6 days. I've done all sorts of drugs (including meth, but only a couple times.) and i'm pretty sure that most of them did more damage to me than staying up.

I dont really know. Its fun, difficult, and kind of rewarding when i get to see and think things that i wouldn't normally think.

That is one of the worst attitudes I've ever seen.
Would you say that to a person ready to shoot up some heroin?

Just because you've been through a self-degenerate process before doesn't mean people shouldn't try to stop you from doing it again.

This just strikes me as ignorant, but whatever makes you feel better.

If you're determined to do something (stupid), no one can stand in your way.

Dont be hatin' on heroin. In all seriousness, are you against recreational drugs? I mean, lilsusie blogs about going out and getting drunk all the time and you dont seem to try to stop her "self degeneration". Troll imo.

I can't stop someone who already was drunk.

But I can stop someone who is about to stay awake for an extended period of time.
I cut my losses and save only the people who are left to save. You must understand that...

First of all, this is not something that we can actually change his actions on. You honestly think he'll listen in this case?

Second of all, you telling him that's it's neither "fun nor productive and is a health risk" is just stating what he knows already. Repeating to him isn't going to help.

Third of all, no, I wouldn't say that to a person ready to shoot up some heroin. But there's no reason for you to ask that because that's not the situation here. Despite the few parallels, it's just not the same.

You will not make me stop depriving myself of sleep, being unhealthy is far too important to me. Also you didn't answer my question about whether or not you are against recreational drugs.

I realize this is his blog and his intentions are his own and all.

But he posted this for one reason or another. Primarily to update it within certain points of time while he has been awake. But also to provoke responses. Otherwise he would have not blogged it. I don't really know what kind of responses he was expecting since his previous blogs followed somewhat on the same path. But common sense would say these responses would have been the majority of comments to this blog seeing as they were with his last two dealing with sleep deprivation also.

Of course I know that me trying to say anything will not convince him otherwise. But he knew he would get an abundance of those replies. In fact, I think he might even want them. It would not phase me at all to see someone open their blog to feel the somewhat artificial benevolence of people who give the image that they care. But I wear my heart on my sleeve! All I want to do is love!

I opened the blog because a sleep deprivation challenge is a big event (relatively) in my life, and a blog is supposed to be about ones life, no? Also its a good way to keep track of how long i stay awake.

geez man, i don't recommend doing this. i realize you've done it before, but that's no excuse. when i was finishing my thesis i had been awake for 52 straight hours and was pretty sure i was going to die, it took me a week at least to recover from that

why not do a 100 pushup challenge instead?

If staying up for 5 days is a big event in your life you need to rethink your life.

Yes staying up late is fun and its nifty to see who can stay awake longer. But 100 hours is seriously retarded. You are wasting a week of your life with negative effects on your body. I know I'm not going to stop you from staying up but you need to realize that if this is a big event in your life there is something wrong. Go find something productive that you would be able to waste a week straight on and have something to show for it.
