well i failed 72 hours but yes something like 5 days will kill you but i will try again it's been a long time since i have done this not to mention before i started i only had 3 hours sleep i'm confsued as to what day or time it is and i think i might try again in a few days i ran out of coke and stuff but i will be back... mark my words :lol:
i had a nose bleed yesturday from it, lasted like 20 mins lol, and i had no caffene or anything, it was driving me crazy, i started playing planetside to calm my nervs (if thats how you spell it) me and you deadloader we are gonna rock the book of records. hopefully we will get some sponsers so we dont have to pay for anything lol.
argghhhhh i said lol, its like a disease, its very contagoeus keep back or you might say lol, argghhh i said it again.
remember if you try it, DONT its very hard after the erm well i dunno some night i have lost track of time. meh who cares. just make sure to cheer us on.
:blink: <_<
what day is it???
btw its hardest to watch tv while doing it, (which we are doing for the record) because you are just sitting there doing nothing.
a buddy of mine stayed up playing WoW for 48 hours straight. he only left the computer for drinks and subs. i actually havent talked to him in a while, hes always playing WoW.
I wouldn't think you would die from 5 days without sleep. I read in my psychology textbook that a man was kept awake for 30 days, but he never recovered from the psychological effects.
Sleep deprivation was also a form of torture used in WWII.
I had a look in guinness book of world records to see what the longest anyone had stayed awake for but i couldn't find it, i did find a website dedicated to the longest surviving chicken without a head though http://www.miketheheadlesschicken.org it lived for 18 months without a head! not like it has anything to do with staying awake but i thought i might share that with you. :blink:
I dont see why not sleeping for 5 days would kill you. Maybe bodily functions would slow down but i dont think 5 days will kill you... that seems way off.
On another note it must be nice. :) I would stay up more often if i didnt have to work. :(
Nah it won't kill you for sure. More mind than physical trauma.
As I was saying before, WWII prisoners were tortured by not being able to sleep. Interviews from the prisoners stated that they weren't physically tired, but started dreaming while awake. Paranoia and pyschosis set in and that made them easy to interrogate.
Many prisoners stated that the desire to sleep overcame the desire to eat/drink. They didn't mind the hunger or thirst, they talked just so their could have uninterrupted sleep.
