Sleep

[Branden]

Randy Gardner holds the scientifically documented record for the longest period of time a human being has intentionally gone without sleep not using stimulants of any kind. In 1964—as a 17-year-old high school student in San Diego, California—Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours (eleven days), breaking the previous record of 260 hours held by Tom Rounds of Honolulu

That is crazy, I can't even stay up for 24 hours 😛

You know how much I hate when I want to read more on something that someone posts, and they don't provide a link to the item?

Just google the name and I am sure you will find plenty more articles. I would say that boy was very cranky, the poor parents. I couldn't function properly if I didn't get my sleep :sleep: .

I would rather stay up for 30000000000 hours without going to sleep :lol:
That is still incredible!

I'm with you there, I can't imagine intentionally staying up for 24 hours. I only stay up for about 30 hours on the way to Poland, because I can't sleep on airplanes (trust me, I would if I could). It's not like I sit myself down, in my house, next to my nice, comfy bed, and say "Hey, I think I'll stay awake for 264 hours 😀 "

That tempts me to try to break that record. But deep inside I know I'll sputter at around 30 hours.

I can't even stay awake for twelve hours.

48+h is not a problem for me. And happens a lot.

I did seven days at one time, when I do sleep it's only for 3-4 hours. I am reliant on high caffine drinks.

Caffeine has no effect on me whatsoever. 😉

In that case... Meth?

Nah jk, but that is pretty amazing, haven't ever really tried staying up for a few days at a time, imagine I'd probably be as crazy as a tweaker and almost as unhealthy so what's the difference 😛.

Wow that is really a TON of hours!!! For me to stay awake I always have to be busy. If I'm just watching TV for all the hours I'm surely falling asleep lol.

My teeth are rotting well enough without meth, thanks. 😉

I can barely function after even twenty-four hours. 😛

I can't even stay awake for twelve hours.

Seriously? You sleep every 12 hours or so?

I'd go crazy if I slept too much. Because I'd feel I'd be wasting too much time. Rawr.

Zaborg totally agrees with you.

 

[Poopy Head]

I can barely stay up 24 hours at one time, so I don't think I can stay up for 11+ days. 😛

I would ideally get about twelve hours of sleep, but I don't usually get more than eight in practice.

I find sleeping a horrible waste of time rather than doing something fun and I think you should be shamed for falling asleep. I find that kid lucky to be able to stay awake for as long as he wants do to the fact that he had broken a record of 260 hours of not sleeping. If I can find myself asleep even before 24 hours, considering my age amount of sleep, I can't really stay up for that long. I don't even like sleeping, but I stay up when I'm tired. I never really know when I'm tired because I think I never am but it just has a way of creeping up on me when I lay down and close my eyes and promise myself I won't sleep.

My record without sleep is around forty-eight hours. Summer break is the perfect time for teenagers to attempt stuff like this. I will be making an attempt to break this 268 hour record in the future. 😛
