No Sleep Experiment 07'

Okay guys...so this summer I've had many an all-nighter, most of which being induced from the consumption of multiple energy drinks and the ability to play 8-man gears of war with the guys on a multiple TV's and a projector (which is amazingly chill by the way, esp. after a good toke).

But that isn't important. What is important is that me and some of my friends have decided to undergo a no sleep experiment. Moreover a contest. Now, I know that a lack of proper sleep can #$% you up, so don't give me that. We're going into our senior year in high school and it's summer, so I can make up for this later....

It is 4:30 AM in my time (EAST COAST) and I have absolutely no plans of going to sleep tonight.

However if you are intersted in joining my us in our campaign, feel more than obliged to.

So far my no sleep count is a mere 14 hours, but we all recently woke up (after going to sleep past sunrise.)

Because this is the natural downtime in the cicadian rhythm, I am a little drowsy, but not that bad. I will keep you posted!! :thumbsup:

... again FEEL FREE TO JOIN IN!

Also forgot to mention, feel free to post any previous all-nighter/no sleep experiences if you'd like, or share your techniques for defeating sleep.

Last April in NYC. I didn't sleep for 72 hours. My friends told me I was so out of it. I don't really remember much from it.

Oh and I did it without caffeine.

this past april, i went through a hell-week during the semester - several long-ass papers due, a few tests, and tons of homework, all during that week. i woke up on monday for class, and didn't go to sleep until thursday evening, except for the time where i dozed off for 5 mins while studying for a test. this was a bad idea though, because i also didn't eat much during this time because i was so stressed out, and by the time i finally went to bed thursday evening i was shaking pretty badly and i really can't remember much of monday - thursday. it all seems like it went by in a haze (and no that wasn't from smoking lol i think i only toked up once or twice because i was so fucking busy). thankfully i was able to get up for class on friday, but after class i went back to bed and didn't wake up until saturday afternoon. also, i don't really drink much sodas or coffee or anything, i mainly drink water. i didnt drink any energy drinks, i stayed up that long running off of my own energy. and i hope i don't ever have to stay up that long again, because it sucked.

In my opinion, going without sleep for a long time is almost like a drug-like experience.

Good luck man, keep us updated.

lol the first time i pulled an all-nighter was in 9th grade (i think...)to do some stupid project, and the next day at school i remember feeling really floaty, and not being able to properly comprehend things, etc. etc. so it was almost a drug-like experience haha :)

I hate pulling all-nighters. I usually feel really sick the next day.

i think the longest was 11 days all the kid did was play pinball

the longest i have stayed up was just over 50 hours and i only went to sleep because i figured i should be in bed lol

Hmm.... I like that shadow town thing.

I think I'm going to use it as the name of the song I'm working on right now.
