I was going to hit the SCP wiki though.
Read this one.
There's irony in that one, yes.

Anyways. Good luck whatever time you're on now and no one say misko's on meth unless he is.

Hey, at first i thought it was the same person who says he forgot to eat food for 5 days. Funnily enough, on this board I'm worried.

I forget to eat sometimes. Or sometimes I forget to buy things and I forget to go out.

Nope. He slept twice and now he's actually going for it.

Quote from: Phantom
Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

I swear, I can just not avoid falling asleep!
 
I'm going to have to delay this till Friday. Need to get other the stump, and starting n friday will mean when I finally finish I won't miss a day of school.
 
Damn it sleep. This time, no more mister nice guy. Coffee, games, movies, whatever. No Lying in bed at all.

This is because your body, for reasons that are not fully understood, needs sleep! :P

And really, lying in bed? You actually LIED IN YOUR BED while trying not to sleep? I think you may have had unrealistic expectations of your little project. Staying awake when you're tired takes actual effort. You can't just passively forgo sleeping any more than you can passively forgo breathing.

(For your next stunt, you might consider holding your breath until you pass out. Takes minutes instead of days.)

Quite frankly, you need a better motivation than casual curiosity to manage to stay up for several days. It puts so much stress on your mind and body that the only reason to do it is if it is the only way to deal with an already overwhelming amount of stress.

School being too much was exactly why I stayed up for 8 days, because I ran out of other choices.
