Going for 60 Hours!
« on: June 25, 2016, 02:59:27 AM »
Alright, everyone, I've been up for 38 hours so far, which means I have 11-ish hours until I hit my personal record.

I'm going to see if I can hit 60 hours without intentionally consuming more caffeine.

Insomnia is so damn fun, you guys!

Yes, but sleep deprivation induced psychosis is not, and 60 hours puts you into that possibility.  Be careful.

Don't worry - I'm well aware of the risks.

EDIT: More specifically, I am planning to hit next evening, and keep myself to really strict sleep schedule from then on.

Yanno what you should do? Absolutely nothing that requires you to sit down for the next 20 hours unless it is in a chair with no back, like a stool, but not a stool near anything for you to lean on and pass out in without promptly falling out and waking up covered in head trauma  :cool

This is the kind of challange the Wii Fit was made for.

Given that I'm perfectly capable of sleeping standing up without hurting myself - I think I'll be fine.

Isn't that a bad thing to be good at when trying to not sleep?

To my undying shame (and to the undying gratitude of my splitting headache), I decided to quit around the 45 hour mark.

Which is still longer than I've gone before without copious amounts of caffeine, so eh.
