only 10 more hours 20 months ago

I’ve been close with about 65 hours but I passed out once I literally sat on my bed. I just tilted and I don’t remember what happened until I woke up the next day. I’m going to try today since it’s spring break. I have nothing else to do.

And I never had hallicinations, but I did have trouble thinking and sort of speaking. I failed all my tests when I was on the third day becuase I literally couldn’t think! I did these on school days, so that wasn’t a smart idea on my part, but nonetheless I learned my lesson. I felt like shit though when I was back.



Don`t go to... Zzzz 2 years ago

Geez this is so much harder then I tought.. I tryed everything!! Extreme metal so I won`t fall asleep (Ya think it worked?! Not even close), Coffee (I discovered coffee makes me even more asleep), Books (Reading untill my eyes start to defocus and I end up snoring on the book), Movies (Yeah rite…not workin`)...etc,etc. Any suggestions?!
Was just curious to see if I can do it tho. Bleh I still wanna do this! I will!

I used to do this a lot when I was in my early teens, and still do once in a while for the sake of studying.

The first day, you don’t feel it past your morning coffee. The next day, you feel WEAK. Near the end, you feel even weaker, you can’t think, you can’t walk straight, and you even have trouble speaking.

But yeah, it’s a blast. You don’t waste any time in bed.

Not as entertaining as the first time I stayed awake for 96 hours, but an interesting ride nonetheless.

Just don’t do this sort of thing just for the “rush” of it. You want an acid trip, drop acid. It’s probably as harmful to your body if not more so, but at least you’ll get a decent amount of sleep.



One summer... 3 years ago

...I tried to break the world’s record for staying awake when I was 14 or so. It was fun until the auditory hallucinations and clonus set in. I eventually passed out in a movie theatre.

the going slightly insane part is….disturbing. Be very very careful if you try this, and keep in mind, you WILL ballance out again once you do sleep…however, the thoguhts and realizations you had in yuor insane state may stick with you for the rest of your life
