Mostly color blending, but the house I was staying at had lots of weird art everywhere. Lets just say it was really weird. Didn't eat much in the last 15 hours of that 34 hour period either...

Exactly, you'd be dead.

After around 5 days, you become delerious and suffer from hallucinations.
2 weeks is a far cry from 5 days!

A little over 72 hours during a memorial weekend several years ago. I was taping all of a top 500 countdown on the radio.

even assuming it's possible, it's pretty stupid.

after the first couple days, you'd be too out of it to get any quality work or studying done.


longest I ever stayed up was about 48 hours. I pulled one all-nighter just to get ahead on work, forgetting that I had to pull another all-nighter the next night to study / work.

From my night shifts, I've learned that too much caffine is really not too good for the body!

Be careful with that!

Over 6 days.
Absolutely no sleep.
The reason? a kind of experiment.
How? Acid, adderall, and pure motivation.

When I crashed I slept for over 50 hours minus some bathrooms breaks.

Started partying on a Thursday and was awake till the Monday morning.

I had been drinking a lot of alcohol and erm, other things.

The Monday morning I was still awake and went to the supermarket to buy some painkillers as I had the worst headache ever, however when I got there I ended up collapsing and was taken into hospital for sleep deprivation and something to do with my toxicity levels being insanely high.

I woke up ~ 48 hours later in a bed and couldn't remember much of the previous week at all, one of the worst experiences of my life.

Since then I've suffered with Sleep Apnea and Acute Insomnia, however they say the causes of those are unknown.

Anyways, I'm off to the shop.

Gah I'll be staying up for a while.
I have my math exam tommorrow at 2AM, and all the homework assignments are due. I finished 3.5 out of 15 assignments.
I think it's going to take me around 10 hours to finish all of them.
It's 4AM now, so I have just enough time :Q

Jebus! Was that continuous, or did you allow yourself cat naps? I did 88 hours straight during finals week fall term last year, I lived off double-shots by starbucks and adderall, it wasn't a good situation heh, but I made it through it no worse for the wear, and slept for almost 24 hours immediately following it. On a related note I haven't slept since 7 am yesterday because I got really strung out for some reason at about 3-5 this morning so I couldn't get any sleep, hopefully I can get some tonight (like from 7 pm to 7 am lol)
