New what happens when you stay up too long

[jaykray]

Ok. i decided to remake this thread because recently i broke my record and stayed awake for 48 hours. it was a school day and i was practically shouting at the teachers telling them to talk louder because i couldn't hear them over the ringing and other noises in my head. hallucinations like hearing the noise of a grenade landing from cod4 and seeing the grenade indicator. i almost cracked my head open by jumping onto a table to get away. the weirdest thing though was, if i imagined a sentence in my head i would hear it in real life. but it was always like a group of girls shouting it

If you stay awake for about 4-5 days, you'll die. And my hearty advise - don't experiment with that kind of sfuff. Last time I did that (about 7 years ago) I got awful insomnia that keeps fucking me all these years.

Wow... Did they give you the day off? You must have looked crazy.

 

[jaykray]

No they didn't give me the day off. although your right i must have looked pretty crazy responding to things no one else could see

The last time I stayed up that long was a trip to a concert (warped tour) in which I decided getting drunk the night before was a good idea. The problem was I had too much fun drinking, so I just stayed up all night until the concert started. The next day was interesting to say the least, considering that dehydration, burning sun, loud noises and dirt flying everywhere led me to almost pass out at any moment. I ended up losing one of my shoes, tore my shorts down one of the legs, and sprian my ankle. I no longer stay up like that because I get pretty cranky by the end.

I know the last time I stayed up 48 hours, I'd decided to have one of those all night gaming/movie adventures, going from video games to movies and back again. Chugging down caffeine the whole time. All in the effort to get my sleep schedule back to normal, someone I know said it was a good idea. By the time I went outside for a cigarette before I was going to pass out all I could see was a lot of flying dots which I claimed to be fairies. Directly before I came back in the apartment; a really loud motorcycle came by. I ran back into my apartment screaming and tripped over the little step thing in front of my door. Luckily I only woke up my cat and not the neighbors or my roommates.

The only thing that happened to me after I pulled an all-nighter at a friend's house was, I fell asleep as soon as I got in the car. Usually when I stay up late and drink at least 3 Mountain Dews I'll start to shake, zone out, and get either really warm or cold.

I went about 30+ hours without sleep during my 4th year of university, I started to hallucinate, I'd think I said something I didn't, think I did something I didn't etc. wasn't fun.

Huh. I stayed up 48 hours a few months ago, and it was through no decision of mine--I was working as a movie extra two nights in a row and with the driving distance back and forth and the hours I got done working, I ended up getting no sleep. Nothing weird happened, though, except I was pretty much sleeping wherever I stood. Driving was a really bad idea. Just blinking (literally one half-second with my eyes closed) would make me doze off to sleep. It was scary. It's times like that that make me wish coffee or caffeine in general would keep me awake, but it actually just makes me more sleepy.

I've stayed up longer than that,
back when I had insomnia I was advised not to even try to sleep for a week and I don't seem to have died,
I did sleep for more than 24 hours when I finally went to bed though and sleeping is alot easyer nowadays

I once stayed up for for over 50 hours, maybe more I don't remember very much of it, but I started thinking I was asleep but I was still walking around and couldn't hear people talking, everything was really muffled, it was really, really creepy.

up for 24hrs strange acid burps 30 trying to cast flare with tolitpaper and lighters 48 or more walking dead and rancid cooking (chocolate fishstiks yum) then i pass out around hr 50

If you don't have a legitimate reason for staying up that long, don't do it. It's really bad for your health and it wears on your body really badly. I suggest always trying to get some rest, if not over 6 hours of sleep a night.

I don't know what it is like - not to sleep for a week with insomnia. Personally I desperately try to sleep as long as I can every day, because with insomnia like mine you never know when it'll happen next time.
When I did the experiment - I wanted to sleep very much during first 24 hours but just kept forcing myself not to sleep.
Overall staying awake for me was about 57-61 hours and I don't quite remember everything that had happened back then (especially during last hours) but that was scary enough for me not to try second time.

ive pushed just over 72 hours, it was fun and very strange. one of my friends gave my some stuff to "help me sleep" yea, help me sleep my ass. he gave me a low dose of acid. talk about hallucinating. he was laughing his ass of while i was upstairs talking to a guy who wanted me to take a walk out a window with him... hell, he was walking on air why couldnt i? m glad i didnt try it though. however, when i turned around i saw "Pinhead" from the movie Hellraiser was right in front of me.

yea, about then, I passed out.

(the next day i had to kick someones ass)

 

[scottkirch]

You all act like it's a big deal, I stay up for 30+ hours regularly, especially when I'm gaming. I've stayed up for close to 50 hours and I wasn't dehydrated, didn't have any hallucinations whatsoever and wasn't noticeably sensitive to loud noises.
Maybe I'm just used to it, I dunno...
