As some of you might know, the world record for longest time without sleep is 264 hours, or 11 days. Today, i will begin to try to break that record. I may fail a couple times (already have) but I will keep you updated each day! Wish me luck!
-
I sorry but I think you will fail but there is one that can,
Not may know who he is or what he has done. He goes by the name REDCHECKS but be careful hes not easy to find. He can do this challenge, but i think you might not be able to
-
Be careful dude, no sleep can be very dangerous.
-
Yes, having no sleep for a very long period of time is extremely dangerous. You can find an article about the effects of sleep deprivation here (http://"http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/exchange/node/1690"), just be careful not to fall asleep while reading it.
I believe that staying awake for too long can cause brain damage. Also, be aware that after several days of not sleeping, the body will shut down and force you to rest. I'm not talking about being overly tired and not being able to stay awake, I'm talking more along the lines of a coma. The body won't wake up until it has rested long enough to be able to function again. So be careful.
-
After about 72 hours, you will begin to hallucinate really bad. Everything looks mssed up too.
-
Good Luck! Just be careful as everyone else said. And stay hydrated!
Just don't do it. It's a really bad idea.
-
Yeah.. I wouldn't do it, when my friends and I go for all nighters she says it's not good for you. If you are to do this buy a shit load of Mt. Dews.

Summarised plagiarism?

11 days? Thats not far off from lethal dude. You cant live without sleep, youll go insane. Go ahead and break a record, but not this one.
-
This is by far the dumbest record to attempt.
-
This is a bad idea, please don't do it. :(
-
Yea this is a bad record to break very dangerous... Well good luck.

Day 1 without sleep: Extreme fatigue, poor coordination, and low focus.
Day 2: Fatigue Worsens, focus is almost nonexistant. Frequent hunger. Hot and cold flashes add to the misery.
Day 3: Fatigue is replaced by a nervous, almost manic energy. You feel that you can focus, but in reality cannot. Hunger worsens.
Day 4: Fatigue returns. Your body will feel like it is breaking down. I am no stranger to severe injury, but can honestly say, this is the closest I have ever felt to death. You can actually feel your body dying. That may not be the case, but I have no other word to describe the feeling. Most of your time spent in a disassociative fugue. Even without sleeping, you will begin to lose track of large segments of time.
Day 5: This is when the hallucinations start. large blocks of time gone missing, you'll go through entire classes at school, then look up, and realize you are in your room, and the classes never happened. Talk to people, freinds and family for hours, make plans, then look up, and its 10 minutes later in your room. I hear scratching on the walls, but no matter how fast I turn my head, the scratching will always be 90 degrees off center, just out of my sight. I hear gentle, and sometimes not so gentle knocking at my door, to open it and find no one there. Tapping at the window when you are not looking at it.
Day 5.5) about 12 hours into Day 5, the visual hallucinations begin. You will look at something, and small shadows will suddenly dart out of your peripheral vision. If you try to visually follow them, you can't, they're gone, but more will dart the other way out of the corner of the opposite eye. Sometimes, the room will suddenly darken, or slide out of focus. (Interestingly, the shadows running in the corners of your eyes do not).
Day 6: Things start to get really weird, but I'd rather not discuss it.
Sleep deprivation can be fatal, but it usually takes more than one week. I have heard estimates from 10 days to 3 months. Studies have proven that it can kill though. I do not recommend trying it, as any sleep loss is very bad for your health.
good luck

good lord.
I hope you know what you are getting into.

I regularly do 24 hours, due to insomnia.
I've done 48 hours no problem, usually due to a major gaming session or crazy movie marathon.
I do 72 hours once a year as a member of a charity event.
The longest I've done is 5 days, but I wasn't trying to break a record. Was just in a situation that wouldn't allow me to sleep due to extreme stress and depression. Zombieravemaster is pretty close to being accurate with his explanations. Day 4 was the worst of my experience. You're still aware of your surroundings to know your body is shutting down, but you don't feel like you have the energy to do anything about it. A friend of mine, who is a nurse, apparently talked me into taking sedatives on Day 5 because my speech was slurred, as if I'd been drinking, and I started talking to myself. I don't remember anything from Day 5, it's like a blur. Apparently 2 NyQuil knocked me out though.
-
I am really surprised that the 10days limit broke. I have heard that 10 days without sleep, cause death. I wouldn't try that, even for a record or money.
The longest I have done is about 3-4 days without sleep, and 6 days with 8-10 hours sleep.
-
I feel the need to point out that the opticraft life insurance plan doesn't cover suicide.
-
I don't mean to try and keep you from breaking a record, but I advise you quit now. I don't want you dying.

Thought the thing would be about " lets see how many guests we can get on a classic server at a time " but nope.

Is it bad that I go through literally every symptom here on regular sleep?

You need sleep because after your brain works all day, it requires rest.
People can actually die from lack of sleep. Its not a joke to get you to sleep.
Please do not attempt this.

Summarised plagiarism?
Actually, no. I wrote all of that myself; I never even read the article. I just found an article from a reliable source so he could read that in addition to what I know about sleep deprivation. So no, I didn't plagiarize.
-
I'm up to 37 hours right now... Not that I'm trying. Insomnia sucks. Doubly so when you only have a limited amount of time to actually sleep, due to work. /sigh
-
If you wanna stay up, take amfetamines.
This is what almost all Americans do to pass through an Exam week.
I have never used them, because I have heard in fact that u can stay on sleep a week after the effects.

What? What are you talking about? Ive NEVER heard of anyone doing that. We dont take pills, we drink energy drinks. Where on earth are you getting your information?
-
To stay awake all I need to do is sit in front of my computer and have something interesting to do... LOL
-
What a stupid thing to do.
This is nothing brag about or anything.
...
I wish, other people that read this. Stop encouring him, to continue. Just ignore this or lock this thread.
...
There will be nothing to gain on this. Why can't you study, or read or do somthing healthy=P

This is a terrible idea and I have NEVER heard of anyone doing this. A lot of people use adderall but even that is a terrible idea.

Adderall is just speed.
Which is a stupid drug unless prescribed.
Like to my brother who has ADD and uses them to concentrate. :P
-
Theone, please don't do this, we don't have the insurance money to keep you alive! (joking) But seriously, do NOT try this at all.

Where on earth are you getting your information?
Somewhere in greece... :P
-

This happens on earth, and I speak about college students that their future and scholarships depend on that.
When you get at that point, you may heard of it. Some instructors have mentioned it, too.

But you said Americans. I know plenty of collage kids who take exams but dont take drugs. Please dont act like you know what goes on in America, because you dont.

And as I said (I am in college) I have NEVER heard of anyone doing that. You sir, are very misinformed.
-
Alright. Due to overwhelming evidence that no sleep can kill, I have ended my attempt. Sorry guys.

This is a very naive and discrimatary statement, it's like assuming all china women are prost, and assuming all Muslims as terr..... Please think before posting such things

He has already decided not to do it. This isn't really a necropost since it's not old, but you should have looked through the replies to see if he had canceled it or not. Speaking of which, since this is over, should this be locked?
-
It is old enough, and like wyboth said if u would have read through the topic you would have seen that he decided not to do it so....
