Well earlier last night (friday) i decided i'm gonna try to stay awake for a few days. anyone else try it? A friend told me that after the 3rd or 4th day the sleep deprivation can lable you clinicaly insane... just wondering if any of you knew that was true or not?

try to find symptoms too.

The brain's frontal cortex relies on sleep to function effectively. Insufficient rest adversely affects the frontal cortex's ability to control speech, access memory, and solve problems. The effect on physical energy is also startling: otherwise healthy people quickly show symptoms of age and early diabetes as glucose metabolism falls by up to forty percent. These physical reactions disappear when the test subject is allowed to rest properly. Driving and other activities can become dangerous without sufficient rest.
 
it's hard... for me it was:

stay awake- second wind (coffee) stay awake, getting tired (coffee) , third wind (feeling woozy now) (more coffee) (60 hours) (4th wind, drinking coffee and sugar and coffee and sugar and coffee and sugar...) (72 hours) torture... it takes effort to stay awake... more coffee... cmoking, sugar, pills from the cupboard... torture, boredom... (5th wind- very weak) boredom coffee boredom... *********SLEEP WITH NIGHTMARES*******



it's not the lack of sleep that will conk you out... you'll just get bored shitless of being awake all the time...

and insanity? you've got to be insane to want to try it... remember... when you end up in the hospital: the staff don't want the best for you, they just want to keep you safe, and they *are* generally nice people...
 
well i plan on Trying to watch tv, play video games and surf the net on sleep deprivation. i found This website. they seem to know quite a bit.

My record is 41 hours with no stimulants, during a LAN. And let me tell you, you'll need something to keep your mind occupied AT ALL TIMES or you will collapse. Another good idea to make sure your surroundings are well-lit. Even at night, keeping the main room light on will make you more alert and less likely to sleep. STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM YOUR BED if possible. At about 7-9am after your first night you will feel extremely tired, try to survive it (I did by not being anywhere near anything I could sleep near) then it should be very easy until about 2am the next night.

Sleep deprivation can cause brain damage after about a week straight. I suggest not staying up any more than 72 hours for your own sake.

Also try to post on gp32x please so we can be amused at your heavily non-sensical and broken english (this is what happens when sleep deprivation kicks in). I may be joining you since I am purchasing WoW in a few minutes :)
 
STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM YOUR BED

FUCK!!! MY BED IS RIGHT NEXT TO MY COMP!!! infact it is no more than 8 inches away from my back. And i better turn on my light as it is not on right now. Man am i ever doing this wrong. Oh yeah everybody sign up gfor the EQII trial at fileplanet i'm downloading it now. If only they had WoW trial.

Oh yeah i found some more "risk factors":
Stress
Jet lag
Emotional turmoil
Divorce
Work stress

If only it were that simple

Oh and for the record, on friday i woke up at roughly 7:30am PST.

Yep. In theory 14 days and you are dead. 7 says you break your head. 3 days and you will probably have some sort of braindamage. i have so many sorts. i have stayed awake for 3 days. I was ill and could not sleep. Pain is one reason.

Get a webcam and make a site so we can all laugh at your dozy head.
On that note, has anyone been caught fapping whilst leaving their webcam on?

Trust me I haven't done this, I don't have a webcam!

:D

That is totally untrue. Channel 4 even did a show where the contestants had to stay awake for a week. Eventually your body will force you to sleep to prevent damage.

People have been caught masturbating on their webcam. It happens all the time, most become infamous and are heckled out of their respective communities.

I have a web cam i just don't know what i would have to do to make it so you could see me (so if you know how i will... maybe). And about masturbating i would not do it on the webcam unless somehow the sleep deprivation made me.

Oh by the way i was just playing the EQII it's not hat great of a game. Now all need to do is try WoW.
