I'm kind of on autopilot. Its a wierd feeling, really. I'm doing, and I'm thinking, but the two aren't necessarily connected.
Just thought I'd share  -FOTBR |

As long as your able to keep busy it seems ok. After 3 days then you need sleep. Or when it feels like bugs are crawling on you

The bathtub scene is an all-time classic. Terry Gilliam is the only guy who could have made that movie. And while Johnny Depp is a major-league flake, he nailed the Thompson part perfectly. |

Instead of drugs, I experimented with sleep deprivation as a youngster. Thirty-nine hours is barely scratching the surface. I never felt as if bugs were crawling on me, but I did see 'trails' and watch plants dance.

I know all about the "trails." I stayed up for about three days straight toward the end of the first semester of my freshman year in college because I had a bunch of papers to finish. The trails came on the second night when I left the dorm to take a walk in an attempt to wake up a little bit. The worst part of the whole experience was that after it was all over and I had everything handed in, I tried to crash and I couldn't sleep! That was pretty raw, but I had about half a bottle of Jim Beam in my room and that did the trick pretty nicely. |

Bingo... Finals week for college, every semester. I've broken the 90 hour marker... DON'T look at grass, it messes with you... as will drops of water on any surface, and plants, as you said. (BG says this as he sits down at 5am on a Sunday morning to write a History paper) - BG |

IIRC, at 36 hours you're legally insane.
I knew a guy that stayed up for 5 days- he was on drugs. He slept for 3-4 days afterwards. He's a wanted man now. |

I pushed on to 40 hours, then finally went home and grabbed 3 hours of sleep before getting up.
On reflection, I probably should NOT have driven home. And yes, 39-40 hours is about half of what I do before finals every semester. This was just keeping in practice.

44 hours and counting here. I'm way too old to keep doing this! I've still got to walk 6 miles home.
BTW, if you want to see things moving, I just saw this on slashdot:  It looks very scary after not getting enough sleep.z |

I once did 63 hours and I thought I was going crazy. I was seeing streaks of light and the walls seemed to be flexing in and out. I started hearing hearing all kinds of shit and got really paranoid.

I did five days once in my early 20s. It is a bizarre experience. As I understand it, what happens is that at some point you actually start dreaming despite the fact that you are walking around with your eyes open. My experience supports that proposition. I was having bizarre and occasionally distressing hallucinations that were literally indistinguishable from reality. I heard, touched, and smelled things that weren't there. I had conversations with entirely imaginary entities. It's not something I recommend and not something I want to do again.

One more day and you'd REALLY get some freaky stuff with the walls moving. The one thing I forget to do after I break 48 hours is to eat... I lose all sense of schedule, so meals are all out of whack... BAM, its been 30 hours since I ate something. That's even worse... I'm looking forward to finals week this semester... I wonder if I can break 70 hours... I don't think I'll ever touch my 90 hour mark... that was really pushin it  - BG |
