No Sleep Experiment 07'

[maryjanehaze]

ya so basically i beat my friend, staying up for a total of 2 more sleepless nights. that totals 39 hours of sleep. i became so oblivious to my whoke thread at the time that i never even kept posted. fun to try, but definitely only every so often.

going without sleep leads to psychosis, and combined with marijuana its not very pleasant. Caffeine is not good for you either and energy drinks contain sodium benzoate or some form of benzene which is basically the most carcinogenic substance mankind has ever known. Sodium benzoate is not carcinogenic, which is why they are allowed to use it as a preservative (also found in just about ever soda, mouthwash, packaged condiment and tons of other stuff).

The clincher is that when mixed with simple vitamin C (ascorbic acid) it breaks down into plain benzene which will in turn liquefy your insides (dramatization but the chance of getting cancer after exposure to any amount of benzene is about 10 millionfold of what it is normally)


So your best bet is instead of energy drinks (which help because they contain b vitamins and other nutrients and caffeine) is to get a strong multi vitamin. and some caffeine pills.

It's much healthier and you'll feel better and get better results too!



besides cutting down on benzoate or benzoic acid containing products there isn't much you can to to eliminate all exposure to it because benzene is found in car exhaust......meaning you're breathing it in right now.


I guess its a little comforting to know that either way you're going to die sooner rather than later



most i stayed up for was 48 hours straight, i had to work for 17 hours with only a 1 hour break too, which was unpleasant.

I tried to smoke a cigarette and i passed out from it, it gave me the nastiest head rush and then i blacked out on the sidewalk in front of where i was working, they found me sleeping there about 15 or 20 min later...

No bueno!

we pulled an all nighter the last night of glasto when our coach was at 6 in the morning. The tiredness wasn't the problem but it was soooo fucking cold and rainy, we had to drink coffee just before our coach cause we were soo cold and tired

Its not really one of those things you plan on, and unless you have reasons and things to do all night when no one else is up youll just say fuck it and crash

the longest i lasted was like 50-some hours, and i started seeing shit, like i swear to god there was a cloud of gnats around me, and some fucked up spider crawling up my leg

LOl well when i used to play this game called runescape i would stay up for aaages lol, its really addictive!

I would wake up in the morning gou out come home at bout 7 start playing have sumfing to eat keep playing drink sugery drinks (your sugar level drops when your tired so try n top it up) Then the morning would come i would stop playing and then go out, if you stay in your gona end up falling asleep!
So yer go out for the day or just go round someone elses house (where you cant fall asleep) and then go home at about 9, try and eat as much as you can and drink allot, then just keep yourself occupied trying to achieve summing. So if its gears of war just try n get your gamerscore up or summing.

i used to be really good at staying up for ages but now i dont see the point lol, sleep is one of my favourite things in life

last summer i went a week and a day without sleep. i had stress induced insomnia. i would sit on the computer or watch tv until about 5 in the morning, make a big ass breakfast because if you dont sleep you get constant hunger and its near impossible to get rid of. then id just get a shower and go about doing what i would normally do, only my energy came from caffeine.

eventually i got prescribed 2 weeks worth of sleeping pills, after the second day i found out if you dont try to go to sleep in the half hour after u take it u get a really happy floaty stoned. and then it just knocks you out. good stuff.

hallucinations start around 40-60 hrs of deprivation. After that parts of your brain start taking "micro-sleeps" I have a book about sleep and there are some scarry stories. A trucker fell asleep in the desert drove off the road and drove 60 miles on salt flats before he realized he needed some sleep because he couldnt find the road.
