A study in Terrible Ideas: My week with No Sleep.
« on: March 04, 2013, 09:00:50 pm »

Sooo, on the advice of Sirus I am making a thread to chronicle my descent into madness, or very little, That will come of a week with no sleep. The rules are:
1) Cannot be asleep for more then 3 minutes. Once I get tired It ensures that I won't be able to game the system for more sleep, as 3 minutes will put me dead asleep
2).Cannot spend hours lying with eyes closed. That is sleep. I suppose I can do it for a while, but only If I remain conscious.
3) Will give up if it becomes too unbearable. But It won't.
 
And with that I'm off! Last time I slept it was this morning, 1:00 am to 7:45, EST. It is currently 8:57. Already a little tired. But it's probably the placebo effect from thinking about sleep so much. I also think I'm already seeing delusions. Curse Janet for filling my head with that. Ths is diffculas is. No, my eyes are just cloudy. Off to Youtube to distract myself from this and hopefully be less sleepy.

I'll bet against anyone who thinks you can make it. Best of luck, all the same.

Oh I'll make it through sheer force of will. SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK.
 
Note the comments are themselves part of the study. Recording how I am now. Fairly logical. Ehh. As logical as I ever am.

It is possible but what most people who try to stay up for days will tell you... you get really really bored.

Well, since I suggested the thread I suppose I should watch it. Common courtesy and all that :P

Oh yeah, while we're waiting for me to start accusing the headphones of conspiring against me, This can be a discussion of Sleep deprivation in general and any personal experiances.

I suggest you don't do this.  Seriously bad things can happen due to sleep deprivation and a week is a ridiculously long time to go without it.

How do you intend to force yourself to stay awake for so long?
