cool story
 
well, just something interesting i thought i would share before i forget, or somthin...

One day last summer. Summer was almost over.and mine and a freind's slpeeing schedule were very out of order. so we had an idea to stay up all night a few days before school started. our concept was simple. we would just stay up all night until its time to go to bed the next night. well we did that shit. passing the time anyway we could. playing video games. watching movies on the internet. literaly anything time consuming. everything was weird. it was almost like being on acid. (not that i would know how that feels. but from descriptions ive heard. that sounds about right). we went to McDonalds, and it was nuts. i was anxious and i really wanted to sleep. we ended up staying up for 36 hours. i havent even tried to contest this record of mine sense that day.

36 isn't very much for some people. They like can stay awake for 60...they are crazy...I usually fall asleep when I try to stay awake though.

I think I've managed a good 20 hours before...
not so sure though

so did your sleeping schedule go back to normal?

i stayed awake for 5 days with a total sleeping time of 30 minutes (mostly 5 minute naps)

by the 5th day i was hallucinating. not amoeba, grateful dead psychedelic like hallucinations but stuff that seemed real. like i was sure i would see somebody right besides me, then i would blink and the person would be gone, or in a completly different place. i also had trouble with distances and things changed color with like every blink. it took me three days of sleeping to wear that stuff off

if two men had a contest in which one went without sleep and the other without food the non-sleeper would die first,

useless fact for you there,

I think I went 6 days once. Might have been longer but I ended up in jail on the 6th day. ha

When I used to work nights I would get off work at 6:30am Friday morning and would stay up until Sunday afternoon EVERY weekend.

Lack of sleep can really fuck you up though.

I work with people with mental disabilities and I have one guy on my caseload that won't sleep more than 2 hours a day. He is slowly driving himself crazy because his brain can never rest. He has been doing this for a couple years now. If you keeps it up he is going to have to be admited to the hospital and forced to sleep though medication.

I used to do that in high school. My friends would always pass out before me.

I can pull Resets fairly easily with some caffeine help in the morning, but I average only about 4-6 hours of sleep per day during a normal week.
