Sleep Deprivation:

[Neo]

This isnt a game challenge, but still a challenge.
Now, there isnt any way to prove that the person does it,
or that i did it, except for how odd i'm feeling right now.

I want to see if anyone can stay awake for at least as long as ive
been awake at this current point,
So far, i've been up for 5 days, 7 hours, and 21 minutes.
I'm gettin pretty damn delirious, and after i'm done posting
on the topics i can find to keep me up a bit longer,
I'm probably finally go to bed, because my head feels like
i drank every drop of liquor in the country.

Neways, if anyone wants to try and be honest,
I'm curious how late u guys can stay up.
Caffeine is permitted,
Speed and other types of stimulants i cant really encourage,
as they are illegal, but, hey, do what u gotta do.
just dont publicize that u did it if its illegal. eyes are everywhere...
*looks around paranoid*

[Grey(Slayer)]

I cant open my eyes after about 24 hours. A small nap will last me a while though.

[Anjo]

i dont believe you neo...5 days?!?@!?@!

[C0CKT3ASE]

hmmm -.- its retarded to try and not sleep ;) its ur body ur playing around with not a regular dragoon you know(i know how that sounded, try to ignore it :))

[Rippo]

Most ive ever been up was 1 day and like 8 hours... was pretty tired... Plus I love to sleep :)

[fALcOn[x]]

most ive ever stayed up was 2 days and 9 hours

[darkkefu]

Most i've stayed up was 2 days in the summer. My life is too busy and active to stay up for 5 days, I would get drained from energy from daily sports too fast.

[Pear]

i stayed up almost 2 during winter break .. dont know exact amount of hours though

[Funky]

i challenge you, starting now I will not sleep :), lol ill probably lose.. *starting at 8:25.

[Neo]

i dont believe you neo...5 days?!?@!?@!Longest ive ever made it was seven, but i wont go that long again.
I fell asleep on the floor beside my bed, which isnt a big deal because my mattress was on the floor cuz i had no boxspring. but, what did suck was i slept for 22 hours straight, and noone could wake me up.
someone in my family, "to this day they will not confess as to who, just that it happened," kicked me multiple times in the ribs trying to "stir me out of a coma".
When i actually did wake up, i had broken ribs on both sides of me, and laid in bed for 4 days.

[Neo]

i challenge you, starting now I will not sleep :), lol ill probably lose.. *starting at 8:25.
ok, i'll challenge you funky, ur in cali, so, ur 3 hours behind me.

[God Emperor Uber]

Its hard for me to just stay up all night

[X-Tricks-X]

i stayed up for 8 days and some hours i didnt count...
Illegal use ??? Hmmm i guess ill say i just dont remember!!!
But i beleive you when you say u didnt wake up when that guy hit u in the ribs ;OP I slept for like 30 hours and when i woke up i was fucked for near 3 weeks i couldnbt go to bed at right times and i would wake up late in the day so i lost my job lol

[Excalibur]

Go ahead and do that. You'll be the next Schaivo. NOt saying the same illness but you could end up like one. ( I think)

[Byakuya]

Around 2 for me.

[Funky]

ok, i'll challenge you funky, ur in cali, so, ur 3 hours behind me.actually im in mexico, 4 hours behind, and imma beat you. :) but lets be honest, okay?

[f(o_O)k]

stayed up for 9 days over last summer playing sc non stop, no use of illegal substances just a shitload of caffiene.

[gS_Macmanus]

Sleep is good?

[Opi]

im with mac on this one.... :)

[aether-storm]

3 days is the max for me. If I didn't have school, like during the summer, I would at least attempt doing this...but staying up for one whole night just does me in if I have school. Plus I have the ability to unfocus my eyes on something...then just go right to sleep, it's like Jurassic Park or something.

[f(o_O)k]

no one should try to stay up for more then 5 days after that u start hearing shit b4 it happens and it almost drives u insane ><

[darkkefu]

The physical body can not function that long just playing video games, that would make you more tired after awhile, especially Starcraft because it gets boring.

[f(o_O)k]

caffienes a bitch eh.. plus i didnt play sc ALL the time i tried to outside for a few hours and took showers and stuff.. but yes it did get boring. also i would like to state i had insomnia o_O

[PrEdAtOr]

3 days and 12 hours is my max=/

[eNzo]

Sleeping is my favorite pastime..
I automatically lose. :D

[Opi]

i <3 sleeping in the winter b/c i hate school, but i hate it in the summer. summer rocks my socks. :)

[Neo]

no one should try to stay up for more then 5 days after that u start hearing shit b4 it happens and it almost drives u insane ><Actually, here's the cycle.
after a day, adrenaline starts to kick in.
your more alert, but jumpy, and your eyes are pretty sensative to light and get sore if you try to rub them.
2 days, adrenaline gets shaky, then your senses heighten, and everything becomes very sensative. u bump the desk, and u think it hurts. you see little things, like flashes of light and things phase in and out a bit.
3 days, your skin is highly sensative, feels like you're being pricked by needles all over your skin. not really pain, just freaky sensations that make you paranoid.
4 days, you're really buzzing, fading in and out of mental awareness. its like you just lit up a bunch of stuff you shouldnt have. also, you start to see things, if you're playing starcraft, your probes will turn into smilies, and your zealots may flick you off. if you're not playing a game, letters can jump out at u from books, or a car can drive through your living room and you look again and everything is fine.
5 days, your natural high is about gone. you're feeling a headache starting to come on, but no clue how bad it could be. throat and mouth are a bit dry, your entire body is on fire from a second adrenaline rush, you hear things that arent there, and you have trouble hearing things that are said and actually happen.
6 days, you have the migrane from hell. everything aches, and the adrenaline is wearing off, again. this time you actually feel your hallucinations. you see rain when it isnt there, but actually feel like you're being rained on, hear things and start answering them and think everyone else is crazy for not hearing them, you are in a near constant state of delirium. if you have a very dirty mind, who knows, u might even get laid for the first time in years and you didnt even have to use your hand.
7 days, you're ready to crash, but you dont realize it. you feel perfectly fine, like you've slept every day of the week. you start to think that maybe you should wake up, then you realize that the 7th day you've actually been asleep since an hour after it began right through the 9th day.

^Note the reason i know all of that is i am an insomniac and have repeated^ that cycle many times, fortunately only once to the extreme that i experienced the severe damage i mentioned earlier in this thread.

The physical body can not function that long just playing video games, that would make you more tired after awhile, especially Starcraft because it gets boring.
If starcraft gets boring, then you arent gaming with friends, playing strong 1v1's using random during both friend games and 1v1's so you dont play the same repetitive race, or you just have no spirit. Only prob ive ever had is at some points i just cant focus to make my probes gather, so i get on diablo2 for a lil while when i want to walk around point and shoot and bullshit. that lasts about half an hour and i get really bored and go back to sc.

LOL LOL. I like ur style little buddy. My Record for staying up without sleep is 7 days 4 hours and 20 mins. I did a fuckin alot of drugs to help me stay up tho (XTC). I aqree with ur point that u turn right delirous. It has been said that once u've been up for longer then 72 hours ur leagally insane and no longer permitted to operator motor vechicals. Anyone longer then a week and I'd think u'd turn into a fulll blown Insomniac. Cause after a week there was some things going through my head that shouldnt have been If ya know what I mean. But its all in good fun. So my grand total was 172 hours and 20 mins. Let's see if theres anyone sketchy enough to top that

DUDE i thought i was the only one who did this shit on a regular basis. TY for showing me I'm not the ONly SICK Bastard around. I'm also an Insomniac
We should get together on B.net and have a conversationg I'd really like to share some thoughts with u on Insomnia.

[iNfA)dOpe]

Ive stayed up for 2 weeks.

[eNtitY~]

Damn, and I thought 3 days was long. ;)

[xena[lw]]

Ive stayed up for 2 weeks.
Bullshit. Humans can't sustain more than 9 or 10 days of sleep. Alot of the ppl that said they've lasted more than a week I think are lying. Most I've ever lasted was 18 hours, and I felt high.

[Trojan]

Insomniacs do it regularly, its a disorder.

[StarZ]

I'm gonna be the one to actually burst everyone's bubble and let you all know that you can actually die from sleep deprivation, you don't always just "pass out". There's a reason that it's a form of torture in some countries.
24 hours is long, but anyone can do it.
Most people wouldn't be able to do 48 hours, as soon as you sit still for 5 minutes you fall asleep.
72 hours, unless you're on like drugs or taking caffiene, you aren't up
Anything after that and you lose the ability to fight the urge to fall asleep. You either pass out unwillingly, or in the case of sleep deprivation torture, your brain literally shuts off and you die. (Ok death would come like a week into it, but unless you're being FORCED to stay up, you can't stay awake willingly without help after 3 days).
And no, doing passive things like sitting there, watching t.v., or playing a video game does not help, and no, being active and keeping adrenaline doesn't help.

[A.Z.]

and I thought staying awake for 1 day was long :|. Once in camping and playing D2 :| Mf for those who play or played D2 LOD
