Wait, SCPs are meant to be scary ? Am I the only one to find them rather harmless ?

I've seen things not meant to be seen, and then I've seen SCPs.
Then I sat in front of them and ate potato chips, so I suppose the lesson here is that you should go see odd things on an empty stomach.

SCP 1000 is always a good time. http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1000
 
http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1504 But this is Best SCP. Sometimes you wonder to yourself, what happens if they find something that doesn't let them know? We have a solution for that. But what about something that makes you not care?
 
And this is a particularly terrifyingly meta one. One with no actual expungements at all, though I first appears as such. http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1055 Comments for that article are also good. In discuss in upper right corner.

On-topic, I've become very confused with planning. Attempts to put soemthing off till tommorrow were met with the stunning realization that there IS no tommorrow, just a extension of today. More then anything, this bothers me.

Posting to watch,
yes lack of sleep CAN kill you, I've read a number of studies on it,
supposedly it's very rare for a person to die from lack of sleep unless they are on some sort of stimulant.

You should have set up cameras and did a live stream of the whole thing and made a website for it and everything.  Probably could have made a few bucks from it.

in other news, I took some pills to give me craazy dreams tonight, and I clicked on that link to the SCP posted a few posts ago about dreamhunters,.. I really wish I didn't click that because now it might fester in my subconscious and infect my glorious night of dreaming I had planned.  meh, whatever, already have SCP up might as well read some more of it and then just switch to something else right before I go to sleep.

1981 was the last scp that game me shivers. Highly recommend it.

[Zrk2]

1984 had me in shivers... oh wait, that wasn't an SCP. Oops.

Having been a 16-year old teenager myself at one time, all I can say is have fun and don't kill anyone. Also what you're doing is stupid and potentially harmful to your well-being, but it's not like you're going to change your mind at this point.
I don't get hallucinations from sleep deprivation alone, though I haven't done any crazy 3+ night stints that a few here seem to have done. For me, there has to be heavy physical exercise AND a couple of nights' worth of sleep deprivation.

So I guess those 3 hours in the middle of my personal record week made all the difference?  That was three days no sleep, 3 hours of sleep the fourth night, and then three more days no sleep.  Never hallucinated.  I felt fried, but was not irrational.

Even a little REM-phase sleep is vastly preferrable to none at all.

You'll probably convince yourself to give up around the two day mark.

I am currently suffering from massive memeory loss, losing a section of this morning between 5 and 7. I fear I may have nodded off, but, It's weird. Ordinarily, if you get only a single hour of sleep or so You're exhausted, But I'm not.  Prefectly fine all day.
 
If I did nod off, I will A) Remember to never lie down for even just a half second. Even if you're bored. ESPECIALLY if you're bored. B) Continue this again. On and on I guess. It's weird, I can usually stay up at least all night without any problems. You guys have placebo effected me into being more tired and more rested from sleep then I am, I think. I really have no clue. May just extend the whole thing by a day just to besure. Would have been a problem in like day 4, but on day 1 it's just a short delay.
 
I am still having alot of problems with organizing my team. Do I do something tommorow? What IS tommorow? I used to say it was after it flipped from 11 to 12, but when I started going to sleep regularly beyond that My brain accepted it as "When I wake up" But I don't wake up, so my brain is confised.

[Soadreqm]

I stayed awake for about 70 hours once. I don't think I ever got any actual hallucinations, but I might have thought that some real things were hallucinations. My short-term memory was in tatters. I'd think of something I did minutes ago, and wonder whether it actually happened, and have no way of being sure! I also discovered that once you have enough caffeine in your system, it stops making you feel alert and just makes your mouth and eyes dry and has you running in the bathroom every few hours. Which I guess kind of helps with staying awake? Oh, and I just generally felt like crap on account of not sleeping.

All in all, an unpleasant if interesting learning experience.

My least favorite part of pulling all-nighters is when you don't have that break between days, and don't get that "It's a new day, and everything's a clean slate. I'mma go kick some butt!" feeling anymore. You just have a quiet period where it's dark outside, followed by more of the same day.

It's hard to put in words, but it sucks.

It's also well known that after a certain amount of aging, that feeling becomes replaced with "Oh my god why do I have to be awake"

I think I was 11 when I started feeling like that on mornings.

Yeah It's... like you might use "this morning" to refer to something that happened yesterday because for you morning is the time after you get up... I do know the feeling, can make it difficult to mark time.

I get home from work at 6 am.  I confuse people often by saying "lastnight" when I should say "this morning".

Yeah, you kind of just feel like "Well, this day is more or less a write - off now as far as anything productive is concerned."

[Vattic]

I used to manage 24 and rarely 48 hours without sleep but since I hit 20 I find myself nodding off. I tend to get 6-7 hours a night but working nights means I get that in the day. The long hours combined with little sleep gets me hallucinating mildly before bed most days. Mostly it's just like static on surfaces but sometimes the air seems to have a thick grainy texture.

One thing a lack of sleep might cause, it does for me, is sleep paralysis. This would happen in the days following rather than during and can be pretty terrifying. I posted my last experience. Just don't go thinking you are being haunted or possessed if it happens.

7 - 8 am finish for me and I get the same problem: "hey remember what we were talking about yesterday?".

[misko27]

Finally managed to get through the night without sleeping. Good, the curse is broken. From here on, to the 48 our mark!
