What I'm thinking of doing over summer vacation ...

[FurryFox13]

During the school year I think of things that people are able to try to do, but I never hear actually happening.
For instance, the longest filibuster was 24 hours and 18 min, The longest time spent (trapped) in an elevator was six days.

Now I looked up that the longest time ever spent awake, without nodding off, was 10 days. I want to see how long I can stay awake without dozing off.
The reason why I'm telling you this is because I want to ask if anyone has anything to say, question, or suggest about this.

You will fail at the sleeping one. You have no idea how hard it is the stay awake. It's like trying to thread a needle with no spit.

[FurryFox13]

--Oh, I'm pretty sure I know how hard it is to stay awake ... but it really depends on what you are doing,

--I played spy vs spy on an Xbox for 18 hours straight with my friends, and I was awake for annother 5 hours before I K.O.ed for 7 hours in the middle of the day.

You do not want to go through with this. It takes months to fix your schedule after fucknig it up like that.

If you're serious, smoke a whole bunch of meth and you'll be up for a week.

... I'm 15 I don't really have a schedule ...

The longest I've ever been awake was 36 hours, and the urge to sleep was terrible. Every waking second was agony. And for good reason: going too long without sleep can cause brain damage.

If you have the determination to resist the lure of sweet, sweet sleep and keep yourself awake, by day four you'll be suffering from paranoia and having hallucinations. (Though, this is what happens in adults. If you are 15 your experience may be different, for better or worse.)

Not recommended.

If you must try for a world record, let it be something that won't surely mutilate/kill you.

[nickspoon]

For example, most chainsaws juggled whilst on fire.

[MuffinSticks]

No world record will be recognized if it's not dangerous and/or health compromising. I say go for it anyway. Can't wait for the result.

Guinness no longer accepts entrants for this record (as well as other dangerous ones, such as longest time underwater without air).

I have stayed up for nearly a week without sleeping, so if you want some serious tips about this, let me give you the best tip I can: Don't do it. After two days, you will begin dreaming WHILE YOU ARE AWAKE... which is the strangest sensation in the world. After four days, you will start laughing or crying at strange times, for no apparent reason.

As for it messing you up for "months"? Your Circadian rhythm will be off for well over a year.

Take it from someone who's been there. Don't do it.

'Sleep Stories' online are pantsless fantastic. I remember a guy swearing on every oath that he'd been awake without sleep for over three weeks.

QFT...
...It's not really worth it. Longest I've been awake was also a week and it IS true your sleep pattern will indeed suffer many months after...

[LewisTheTank]

It must have taken me maybe a week (or two?) to stay awake again for a normal day, but
I kept on waking up over and over again after that. To this day I still have bouts
of insomnia, and I wish I hadn't bothered.
I wrote this song during one of those insomnia moments:

**sings to the tune of "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean"**


My sleeping has been interrupted,
My sleeping has gone quite awry.
My sleeping pattern is corrupted,
Oh let me sleep or I shall cry!

Let me, let me, oh let me sleep just a bit, a bit!
Let me, let me, oh let me sleep just a bit!

This is starting to get quite annoying,
I'm going right out of my head!
With my sanity I feel it is toying,
I wish I could just stay in bed!

Let me, let me, oh let me sleep just a bit, a bit!
Let me, let me, oh let me sleep just a bit!

I got a few hours in last night,
I napped for an hour today,
But up and down, that just don't seem right!
My mentality is drifting away!

Let me, let me, oh let me sleep just a bit, a bit!
Let me, let me, oh let me sleep just a bit!

I think I'll just go now and lay there,
In my bed so soft and warm!
If I don't fall asleep, I just don't care,
Just laying in bed does me no harm!

Let me, let me, oh let me sleep just a bit, a bit!
Let me, let me, oh let me sleep just a bit!

(So I say again: IT'S NOT WORTH IT! LISTEN TO DOC!)

I tried this one time but I decided to go to sleep after the 3rd day
