The new 24h mission! after youve stayed up a full 24 hours, each additional hour afterwards will be considered 1 point. The member with the most points wins! -i havent figured out what yet- some of you wont be able to contest, such as those of you with actual lives that include school, jobs, and anything else that requires alert attention. for those of you sitting around with all the time in the world to do nothing, give it a thought. MIGHT I REMIND YOU, Mr. Richard D. James would stay up 3-5 days at a time to completely mess up his mind so he could produce better music. -from an interview write down the time you woke up if you want to partake. if you lose, youll still be rewarded with a deep sleep thats easy to fall into! Gwely Mernans- woke up 11am -4:21am now.. clock is ticking. |

My personal record is being (involuntary) awake for 40hrs. Don't want to repeat that. After 24hrs it felt lika a hangover. |

When I think about it, I actually took my avatar pic during that peroid. |

I don't have the time (including the neccessary recovery time) to do this now, so instead I post my existing record: 56/57 (lets call it 56 hours). I had some coca-cola, but no other caffeine or drugs. So 56-24 = 32 points to me. |

36 hours is my record. Not intentional, not fun. |

apparantly after 48hrs your brain is reduced to the level of a 60 year olds. nice. personal record =38 |

I dunno, my reactions were dulled a bit (and my recognition of people was skewed), but I didn't start liking Cliff Richard's music or wearing Cardigans. |
||||||||
|

|
|
32 points eh... |
||||||||
|

.. and how do you plan to keep track of everyone's progress? |

This reminds me, can sleep deprivation affect your vision at all? Sometimes when I sleep badly for a while and feel really rough I start to notice strange things about my sight, negative after-images appear stronger among other things. Any ideas? |

I was younger (about 17), so I had a lot more energy, but give it a go. I give you warning though, you won't be 100% fine for about a week afterwards. |

My long distance eyesight improves when I'm tired/hungover, I'm sure it's something to do with the eye muscles relaxing or something (I'm slightly short sighted). |

i was up 73 hours and spent all that time in the wilderness. i don't know how i did that. no speed involved, but a campfire and lots and lots of roll-your-own cigarettes |

The human mind simply isn't meant to go without sleep for that long. It's surprising how fucked up you can feel from it. |

In a way sleep deprivation studies help us to study the relationship between the brain and behavior in a very unique way by observing how a person's behavior changes as the brain shuts down. By taking images of the brain showing where activity is located it is possible to correlate the behavior exhibited by a subject with his or her brain patterns. Just like a person cannot jog for three continuous days a person's brain cannot operate without rest breaks. Since different regions of the brain rest during different stages of the sleep cycle, sleep cannot be cut short. In fact, if the brain does not receive a break it will soon begin to shut down for periods of microsleep. This is essentially several seconds of actual sleep; delta waves that interrupt the regular EEG of an awake person thereby impairing his or her continuity of cognitive function. Microsleep generally happens directly before performance failure occurs (8). Without sleep our brains deteriorate, and if the argument that brain=behavior is true, then our behavior will also suffer accordingly. |

hahaha :) yeah i think the brain just starts to rot. i was reading, but the details are vague, i think there is a point of no return where you brain will never function properly again.. |

i've been up forr longerr than 24 hourrs when in the past. i felt like shit, my mind was a blurr, i couldn't enjoy anything. |

oh and this is important too you might want to read this NREM is an active state that is maintained partly through oscillations between the thalamus and the cortex. The 3 major oscillation systems are sleep spindles, delta oscillations, and slow cortical oscillations. Sleep spindles, a hallmark of stage II sleep, are generated by bursts of hyperpolarizing GABAnergic thalamic reticular neurons. These bursts inhibit thalamocortical projection neurons. As deafferentation spreads, corticothalamic projections back to the thalamus synchronize. As hyperpolarization of the thalamic reticular neurons progresses, delta waves are produced by interactions from both thalamic reticular and cortical pyramidal sources. Slow cortical oscillations are produced in neocortical networks by cyclic hyperpolarizations and depolarizations. |

Well, to begin with, once you do go to sleep you'll really crash out- you may well sleep for 20+ hours if you don't put an alarm on. Then of course your sleep patterns are thrown off time, so you feel awake at night/tired in the day, etc. You loose all the weird effects (seeing familiar faces on strangers in crowds, etc.) after that initial "big sleep", you just feel tired for a few days afterwards. There was some study I read about (in a book, not online) that showed most people do sleep for an average of 6-8 hours a night, per month. Those who stay awake all night or only sleep for about 3 hours a night for several nights on end tend to make up for it with huge periods of inactivity at weekends/the next week. |

Wasn't there that radio DJ who stayed up for a week once and on air the whole time and he was never the same afterwards? His wife ended up leaving him. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
in fact Ceri, afterr a perriod of sleep deprrivation the time spent asleep rrarrely goes above 14 hourrs. you just hit REM sleep fasterr and miss the firrst couple of stages. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so does this mean that if i stay up for 3 days my brain will rot and never return back to normal? wtf ive done this in the past with my mates, nothing bad happened then, just allot of cool visual stuff and a very rewarding sleep in the end. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly, once you shut your eyes you go straight into a dream, its awesome, because you can imagine something and then it will become your dream in seconds after relaxing |

I must be unusal then, after being up 24 hours I usually sleep about 18 hours the next day (if not all in one go, I tend to be awake for 6 hours, then go back to bed). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, therre's no saying that you wouldn't sleep forr 18 hourrs say... but you don't need that amount of sleep. if you had to get up afterr 14 hourrs you would be able to function as norrmal. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes! thats the story. his whole life fucked up after that. can't remember much about it or where i read it tho.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but everryone is differrent. some people just need much sleep, some people just need loads. i need loads. |

On Sunday evening when I finnaly thought that I will have some sleep my friend called me that he´s having a birthday party...so another night...I fell asleep In the monday afternoon at his house and after two hours he woke me up that I must go home because his parents are coming... after 48 hours I was having fun without any trouble or strange feelings... but on Sunday afternoon it all begun...I was like....can´t describe it in english language... interesting but...not so nice....I wasn´t in bad mood cause I was having fun all the time...fucking awesome fun..and thats the reason why I was able to do it...I don´t think that I woul be if I was in front of PC or somewhere alone or with my girlfriend or so... |

I remember seeing the results of a poll that said something like 1 in 3 drivers aged 18-25 have driven when they've been awake for more than 24 hours. I have (once) the only thing even remotely resembling an accident was when I got back to my house and the only parking space in the road had been blocked by two wheelie bins (my scummy neighbours used to "reserve" a parking space by using the bins). I was in a bit of a bad mood as I wanted to go to bed and didn't fancy stopping, getting out, moving the bins, getting back in the car and then parking. So, I screeched into the parking space, knocked the bins flying (literally, one got about 4/5 foot air) parked and then threw the bins/rubbish onto the neighbour responsible's lawn. |

around 38 hours is my record. i was probably 14 or 15. i wouldn't want to try it again, even though i'm pretty sure i could do it. it's just not too fun. |

aaaaaaaaaaaand..... 24 hours! |

Nice job. I LOVE all nighters, makes me really feel like I've accomplished a lot. My last day was 19 hours, not too bad at all. I'll give it a another shot tonight. I need to beat Syphon Filter- The Omega Strain. It's just hard enough to justify an all nighter. |

this is a great idea. i'm gonna do it. reminder to self: tragedy- woke up at 12:30pm 5/26/02 |

My record is 72 hours, from when I used to live in Holland and go to all-weekend party things and generally misbehave a lot more than I do these days. I felt like shit (comedown/sleep deprivation) for days afterwards. |
