Stay Awake For A Few Days Straight

[c0ncept]

I experienced that sleep deprivation causes acoustic hallucinations after approx. 40 hours of staying awake, so have fun with your little experiment =)

​

Hey yeah, last time I stayed awake for a long time, I kept hearing people say my name. When I was on my own. It was more than a little creepy let me tell you!

You nutbar! I stayed awake for about 48 hours but that was during the last few days of my degree. Eventually it felt as if my body was functioning on adrenaline alone.

Well, good luck. One to put on your resume, I think

i found a place that basically wil descvribe night by night.

Night 1. Most people are capable of going without sleep for a night. The experience is tolerable if uncomfortable.

Night 2. The urge to sleep is much stronger, particularly between 3-5 a.m., when the body temperature is at its lowest.

Night 3. Tasks requiring sustained attention and mental calculations become seriously impaired. This is particularly the case if the task is repetitious and boring. Again, the early hours are the most crucial to needing sleep.

Night 4. From this night onwards, periods of micro-sleep occur. People stop what they are doing and stare into space for up to three seconds. The end of micro-sleep is accompanied by a return to full awareness. Confusion, irritability, misperception and the 'hat phenomenon' occur. In this, a tightening around the head is felt as though a hat too small for the head is being worn.

Night 5. On top of the effects previously mentioned, delusions (false beliefs) may be experienced. Intellectual and problem-solving abilities are largely unimpaired.

Night 6. Symptoms of depersonalization occur and a clear sense of identity is lost. This is called sleep deprivation psychosis.
Adapted from Huber-Weidman, 1976.

i think it would be fun to try to get to night 6

7 says you break your head. 3 days and you will probably have some sort of braindamage.

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.

No nothing is impossible.

That's just silly emotional garbage. Of course some things are impossible. The trick is knowing that some things that people say are impossible can actually be done... but you'd better be able to prove that they can be done.

P.S. Ukrainian Man Stays Awake for 20 Years!

​

You won't think that if you actually do it.
And your dad will probably dis-own you to boot.

 

[sam fisher]

i think he's gone to sleep. Its night time in america and he's gone off msn. Quick everyone go and storm his house. He has failed! P.S. he's in washington.

Yeah i fell asleep around 8 playing a game C&C Renegade. I would have thought that it would keep me awake. Well i'm gonna try this again maybe in a week or too though.
