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.

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).


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

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
so THAT explains the noises....
thanks :)
and good luck! though i recommend not doing it.

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.

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, 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.
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.

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.
