So i decided to do it again. The rules are exactly the same, (no stimulants, coffee as an exception) except this time no money is on the line since we are both broke. This time i'm going for the 100 hour mark, which i haven't even gotten close too in my past two attempts, which were:
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.

rofl, man Ive done this challenge before, and as you mention You've done this, why the hell would you do it again.

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

I guess it's an interesting experiment but my advice is that you should find another hobby. 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.

That sounds fun I wish I could try something like that.

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.

I've had a recent bout of insomnia which really sucked.

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

This is really a dumb idea.

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."

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.

don't ignore my post, it's not that long and it's not like im gonna lecture you or something

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.

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.

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.

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.

Go find something productive that you would be able to waste a week straight on and have something to show for it.


no.

Man you got some balls to keep doing this shit but please don't hurt yourself, everyone one of us that is saying to you that it's a bad idea just because we don't want to see you get injured over nothing. I'm amazed that you're that bored to go like 20 more hours than last time with no reward for it, can't criticize too much I guess... Some people just get off on different shit.

So i decided to do it again. The rules are exactly the same, (no stimulants, coffee as an exception) except this time no money is on the line since we are both broke. This time i'm going for the 100 hour mark, which i haven't even gotten close too in my past two attempts, which were:
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.

You have your previous attempts noted down to the minute? Seems like a hoax to me. I know from personal experience you can rougly estimate the time you were awake but after you've been up for four days chances are you're going to wake up a day later and not know what's going on or when you fell asleep, exactly.

Also posting every 12 hours wont convince any of us, You could easily sneak in a nap, or several naps even! Post every 2 hours!

I have them noted down to the minute because i decide the day before when i want to start, and then i write down in a notepad what time it was when i get up. Its not hard. Also posting every 2 hours would just get obnoxious.

I don't know why you would do this to yourself (please dont take this as a rant or anything too negative), it sucks feeling like shit trying to recover for a few (weeks or days), also for the love of god please don't drive/operate any machinery/compromise others. Hell, I remember last month I nodded off 6 times on the highway due to stupid errand bullshit which could of cost me not only a vehicle but probably myself

If you have a webcam, you should create a stream, so that bored people can watch you go batshit or whatever when you are really sleep-deprived.
That way, it's fun for both us.

Props again to you for this 3rd attempt. Don't listen to all the haters and nay sayers. You'll be fine (which I'm sure you already know).

And just to bring it back up, He is doing because he can. Like many other things you do/try in your life. Just so you can say you did it, you accomplished a goal, you tried it, etc. It's a story you can tell someone, its something that people might give you respect for if its brought up. It's something to tell your grandkids (never to do?).

And sleep deprivation is far far safer than the 100s of other things he could be trying out. Shit I;ve known tweakers who smoke all day for like a week straight, That is drugs and sleep deprivation and they are not dead.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

but climbing mount everest is an experience you can't acquire otherwise.

doing this shit can has the effect worse than the worst drug, while I doubt you get the positive side of doing drugs.

It may be healthier than doing drugs, but that doesn't make it a smart idea. There are many of us who can't have a good night's sleep even if we wanted it. There are many of us who'd probably kill to be able to get a full amount of sleep every night.

It kinda irks you after a while, no?

every 26 hours or so you feel like your just going to fall asleep but then your body wakes up the rest of the day, i think its best to anticipate the crash and take like 4 vitamin c packets and drink 3 glasses of water with it, that way you wont go through the drowsiness. I think 4 days is max... otherwise you could hurt yourself.
