When I used to work nightshift I would regurally be up for 26 hours straight. It’s weird how untired I would feel but ended up sleeping cause I thought I should. Although there was a guy who was up for 18 days straight…he went nuts :crazy: Da Vinci only slept for 4 hours a night you know ---

I was reading an article about sleep, and apparently in tests, sleep deprived animals have actually died do to loss of sleep. [ot] Interesting Fact: “Sleep” is your body’s way of dumping the RAM, it clears out the unneeded information from your short term memory and stores the needed information on your hard drive – err, in your long term memory. Enabling you to have enough RAM (short term memory space) to get through the next day’s routine activities. [/ot] ---

Hmm… you should try some of those sleep tablets, I stayed up for about 48 hours just because i couldnt sleep, and then my mum got me some and i slept for about 12 hours… It really does start to eat away at you ☹ ---

I have been 4 days without sleep; at that point I wouldn’t trust myself to wipe my own arse properly. I go 2-3 days without sleep from time to time and my performance is defiantly affected. If I sleep 3 hours a night after about a week I feel crap and crash for 17+ hours straight. Personally I think that doing this is detrimental to ones health in that it can kind of cause chronic fatigue and can take a while to return to normal. I am fine with 6-8 hours but after I have stuffed up my sleeping I need 12 or more for a while before I return to normal. Although exercise does help. Also there have been studies that show that after 24 hours without sleep people perform as bad as someone with a .05 blood alcohol limit. In Australia it is illegal to drive a car with that level, so even if you don’t realize it your performance is affected and it is something I take into account when driving when I haven’t been sleeping. Note: If you are having trouble getting to sleep it is normally because you are thinking about to much crap to fall asleep. If you close your eyes and stare at the back of your eyelids all you see is black. If you focus on this and just think about the black and nothing else (it takes effort) you will go to sleep in 10 min or so. As I said this can take effort but it works……………………… ---

> And after 11 days without sleep he suffered no hallucinations or paranoia and no psychotic symptoms. Never had none of those, although I thought 11 days was death for a human, or was that for a dog ? It’s been posted here before but I dont remember 😛 ---

Most people will die or faint after about 10 days I believe. There are weird disorders that make you not have to sleep, but usually those people don’t live past 30. ---

I couldn’t stay awake more than 36 hours because i would fall asleep regardless. Unless I had a handy case of Red Bull. That would put and end to my need for sleep. ---
