im going to stay awake for 5 days. I will post at least every 2 hours. if there are any chalengers speak up.

Meh good luck but i doubt you will get past 3 days



That is without drugs of coarse.

gl with that

good luck but for the record u will still feel tired if u use caffiene, just be unable to sleep. For 5 days you might need something stronger if u know what i mean.

OP is going to set up a macro that posts every two hours.

staying awake for 5 days, not the best idea. (but i guess thats why u posted it in bi)

But staying up for 5 days is one thing, being that your going to be on your computer the entire time to show us that u can do it by posting every two hours is pathetic. I dont want to speak for everyone but I am pretty sure most people dont give a shit that u can stay up that long. I would just goto an ass load of parties or goto vegas bc i hear that place never sleeps.
I guess your taking this bad ideas forum too seriously and just giving us bad (stupid) ideas instead of bad (irresponsible) ideas.

Methamphetamine.

5 days is nothing. when i had insomnia, i was up for 2 weeks straight, at it's peak before i collapsed from mental and physical drain.

good luck though.

However, other scientists point out that no one has ever managed to stay awake for much longer than about 10 days. Any longer and they keel over, strongly suggesting that a good kip brings real biological benefit. We simply cannot do without sleep. It is not just an evolutionary knockout drop. On the other hand, these experiments indicate it is possible to stay awake long enough at least to watch a Test match. The record for sleeplessness - held by 17-year-old American Randy Gardner - is 11 days, a feat achieved only by taking lots of cold showers, going for runs and playing games such as pinball. It is only after several days that problems start for people in such experiments: panics, delusions, voices, hideous mental images, memories of Steve Harmison's bowling, that sort of thing.

You should have told someone around then.. you would have gotten a world record!!

*challenges* I once stayed up for 7.5 days playing Lineage 2.

Good luck energy drinks are your new best friend.

I wonder if you will be able to see the "Shadow People" that people that stay up for long periods of time talk about?

good luck brother, your going to need it. most I've stayed up without the aid of drugs was 2-3 days. then you get a natural high feeling.

i think you'll probably fail by the 3-4 th day.. get some meth, but watch out for the shadow people man

That shit happens after about 20-30 hours.

You see shit out of the corner of your eye. Maybe a person like shape walking behind you that disappears at first glance, or a rather large animal darting behind a garbage can that doesn't ever emerge. That, and a general lack of coherence, light paranoia. Then there is twitching, and a general sense of delirium.


The auditory hallucinations start to happen after about 2-3 days. You hear whispers, somebody calling your name, a door slamming, a rodent scuffling about in your wall, things like that. Did I mention a sense of delirium and paranoia?

You may also start to have weird hallucinations as you're half asleep. You basically fall asleep with your eyes open, and the things you see start to appear as other things. I was once sitting in a car, and began to fall asleep. All the mailboxes and posts I saw turned into asians with wifebeaters and ak-47's. I think those are called 'illusionary hallucinations'. You may also experience severe delirium, depersonalization, and bouts of paranoia.

You may look at the floor, and see it warbling like a waterbed. Or see something far away, but it appears to only be a few paces away. You might feel detached, like you're in a dream. You will likely think about weird shit(thats the only reason it's worth staying up imo). Your mind will run off on strange tangents. You may also feel weird tremors going over your body that make your hairs stand up on end, and your muscles twitch. You will make a post, but come back to it in your rested state to find it totally incoherent. That pretty much sums up delirium. A very surreal experience.

You may fluctuate between varying degrees of delirium, extreme tiredness, feeling totally fine, and feeling extremely lucid, if not a bit manic.

As far as physical effects, they aren't pleasant. Tired, obviously. A hot/cold sensation. Sometimes nausea.

After several days, you might experience full-blown hallucinations and delusions. Like you take some random kid hostage on the street, using him as a human shield while you have a spoon to his eye socket, blabbering about demonic velociraptors and mind-controlling nanomachines. I, personally, have never been to this point. That is much further than I care to go.

It should also be noted prolonged sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on your melatonin levels and circadian rhythms. This can cause other fun things, like being unable to sleep more than a few hours, and sleepwalking. Though it can be hard to discern sleep walking from just plain ol' memory lapses if you're alone. I've experienced both. I once left a webcam on when I went to bed sleep deprived. 30 minutes or so after I went to bed, I found some random incoherent messages I sent, and that she had seen me get out of bed. I have no recollection of this. I've also had people see me where I get up, walk around in a daze, and then lay back down. I suspect that is probably sleep walking, where the instance of me getting up and using the PC was just a memory lapse.

I think that is about all I have to say on this matter so far.

my APOLOGIES my aunt died and i had to go to sydney for her funeral i totaly fucked up on this thread SORRY

if fate could get rid of this

sorry for the death


but i was just going to add that staying up for longer than ab 36 hours makes me feel like i'm having mild opiate withdrawals.. i start cold sweating, hot flashes, the shits, and brief periods of just normalcy in between.. i fucking hate staying up for multiple nights.

i stayed up for 60 hours once for coursework doing purposes, just with shit loads of cold tea and coffee. was not fun at all, started getting very hot/cold, paranoid, thinking things were creeping up on me (not to the extent that i got scared, just that i kept turning round, getting annoyed etc), and it turns out my writing gradually deteriorated until it barely made any sense. i also began lapsing in and out of time - i would think i had been sitting staring at nothing for 5 mins and it turned out it had been 2 hours etc.

not recommended, even for cramming and the like - it will just make you perform shit.

Did something similar, but in the c2 days. LOA grind party for a few days, fucking sucked.

I'm really glad someone mentioned those shadow people. Over exams I was constantly whipping my head around trying to catch the people walking by my windows. It was fucking driving me insane.

After a couple of days it's a whole new level of tiredness. Fuck posting on here every two hours, get up to heeps of shit.
