I have now been awake 24 hours

CorkMan · 11-07-2011 8:32pm #1

My sleeping has been all over the place lately, as a result of circumstances I had to be waking up at night. For the past week I have tried to get back into a routine but couldn't, so I have stayed up 24 hours!

At around 17-18 hours I started to get a bit groggy but I have passed that now. I have had to do the exact same thing before, so it isn't much now. My record was like 39 hours awake (when I was a teenager) when me and my cousin challenged each other. Eventually when we were both playing a video game I just put my upper body and head down, dosed off.

Amanda Brunker is a really underrated artist.

Have you tried seeing how long you can sleep for? Rip Van Winkle is the man to beat.

I do it all the time cause of work, just be careful when driving cause driving when lacking of sleep is as bad as driving with a few pints in ya.

I concur that Amanda Brunker is an under-rated artist.

I've done 48 hours awake before. You start to see and hear things that aren't there. Very unsettling.

Edit: Forgot to add that Amanda Brunker is indeed a fantastic artist and that her first album will no doubt be a seminal classic.

You must be counting the sheep backwards :-)

Come back to me when you have stayed up 78 hours to write a final year college report. The world starts to look a bit strange around the third day and the hallucinations can be a bit trippy, think undulating surfaces and those weird light spots you get from looking at a bright light.

Are you on the sweats?

flutterflye · 11-07-2011 8:55pm

Meh..

A lifetime of insomnia means that this is a regular occurrence for me, and many.
24 hours isn't that long really in fairness.

My head is starting to fall down if I don't consciously try to hold it up, rather than normally your head staying up by itself. Plus just there I entered a web page I frequently visit without having a fully conscious recollection of it happening. Ended up on the wii board

I am getting a bit of a buzz TBH

Don't worry about it bud. I've often done a 24 hour guard duty in an army barracks, that and spent 72 hours solid awake while traveling overseas. Not funny I can tell when the mind starts to play a few tricks on ya.

You'll get beyond that and start feeling a bit better again. But you'll feel a bit delirious and almost drunk! I've done 48 before and you feel like you're going crazy... any longer than that is scary.
