OK.. March my month of madness. I'm going to attempt to completly change my sleep pattern. Here's how it goes. Work,Course work,FF,music and oh the the ever more addictive internet, more or less my day. Alot to cram into a day with work taking up 9hrs a day 6 days of the week so......! The conclusion i have arised at is to create lots of spare time by sleepign once every two night so i have a whole night to do what i enjoy doing instead of getting 3/4hrs sleep and waking up for work all grumpy.
So i have currently been up awake for 21hrs and 20 mins, so i go to sleep tommorow<or today even> at say 10pm and i have created lots of spare time. Over the month i will try to adapt my body to this lifestyle and get into regualr eating times to fit with the night where i don't sleep.....!
If anyone else has tried this pure maddness let my know.
What are your views on what i intend to do?
Anyone else thinks sleep wastes time?
Is that healthy?
it can never be healthy, but i shouldnt talk, i periodicaly dont sleep for a few days, its not that im trying to stay awake, its just the opposite im trying to go to sleep, but alas i cant, so sometimes i go for days without sleeping, the longest i think ive gone without sleeping is between 4 and 6 days, also during the summer i hardly ever sleep, maybe 21 to 28 hours a week., i know its not healthy, but i cant help it, brain and body dont agree.
I can't sleep for 24 hours straight though. . . and 50/50 is a lot more sleep than 33/67
you're not gonna work right, seriously. The REM sleep thing is what you're missing.
for starters, i don't really see the huge kink in your schedule. you're NOT that bad off. at all. My schedule as it sit right now (on a standard weekday) is i wake up at 8:00, i'm off to school by 8:15 (yes, that's correct. i know it seems bizarre, but i actually can get up, showered, groomed, clothed, packed and out the door ready for the day in under 15 minutes, bed to car) 8:30-2:00 is my standard school day (senior release) and 2-2:45 is make up time, either small homework, figuring finances, or finishing up work in the photolab. by 3:00 i have to be AT my job, where i will stay til 8 on a usual shift, though frequently til 11 or later by picking up extra hours. (no work on Mon and Tues though) I come home and do all the homework i can from 8 til 10, then take a bathroom break (yes, i have to schedule them. it literally doesn't work any other way, but you get used to timing it. it's odd.) I go to the gym, swim a mile, hot tub, sauna for twenty minutes, then go home (aprox. 1 am), where i'll either finish up homework or go to sleep. then i'll get maybe 5 hours of sleep, if i'm lucky, before i get to do it over. and on the weekends, it's the same thing, except minus the homework, and an extra shift at work from 7-3 instead of school. yes, on the weekends i work 13+ hour days.
My point behind all that was, forget the internet and FF. get some freaking sleep, there are those of us that would kill to have your schedule. If you absolutely must take the narcoleptic route, sleep 3-4 hours a night. your body WILL adjust to maintain REM sleep quicker and longer. I'm literally forced (IB program at school, ridiculous HW load and long papers at one time.) to do three day sleepless binges. it doesn't work, you start to get an irregular heartbeat, muscle spasms, and you'll twitch constantly. it's one fo the most uncomfortable things in the world. so get 3-4 hours of REM sleep, or be intelligent and GIVE UP FF for a month, and get a full eight hours... geez, it's a good game, but it's not worth your health over.
Hmmmm i will make a plan as *ETERNAL FANTASY* suggersted. Then by Tuesday 08-03-2005 i will have successfully completed a week and will post back with how things went.

98% of the teenage population does or has tried smoking pot. If you're one of the 2% that hasn't, copy & paste this into your signature.
Yeah!
Also take in consideration your diet. Say you eat bad foods with a ton cholestral and then not getting enough sleep over along periods of time, it's really bad for your heart. And like most people said, you need sleep to function well.
wow, like i said, that's pretty sad. That you'd actually think of sacrificing a vital bodily function to play video games or surf the net. Your priorities are way out of wack man, and i'd worry about your health if i were you. You're essentially saying that you want to take a big expensive car out on the road, and smash the pedal to the floor and keep it there for 72 hours, without refueling or putting in oil. you're just asking for trouble...
Oh dear. I think i migh tnail this in the but due to the fact that i ahve had a promotion at work. and that i am falling behind in things i had planned to do. I am now working a 70 hour week at work and am gonna have to get back to sleeping at right times. The up side of this was that to try and get ride of the tierdness my house it sparkling clean and ave master ironing and well my work and course is more important at this point in my life. BNut hey a dun well.

Man, I salute you I tried to give up food for lent (I didn't plan on lasting the 40 days, just like 2-3) and I ate within 9 hours, I think i'm gonna try some of this stuff. Not the sleep though, I love sleep.
Sleeps important but I dislike it.Feels like im wasting time.I slept for 4 days when I had to go to hospital.Had a sort of black-out.Said sumin like a part of my brain became non-functional and paralized my upper part of my body and effected my heart.Im ok now but I have to visit the hospital every few weeks to check up on me.Missed 2 weeks off school though
Well, I like sleep when I'm actually tired...but yeah, it does feel like, if only we didn't have to sleep, we ould be able to do so much more. It wouldn't feel like I was getting out of school and going back five minutes later (ugh).
Anyways, glad you gave up the experiment....waaaay too unhealthy, believe me. I stayed up once for four days in the summer. I didn't mean to...that was true insomnia. In the end I could barely walk or think straight at all, and I finally collapsed in my driveway. Sleep depravation is baaaaaaad.
THE MEW HATH NO NEED OF A SIG >:3
ive been sick for the last 5 days, so i havent slept, i wasnt trying to stay awake, i just couldnt sleep.
REM sleep is good for repetitive actions and motor skills, but deep sleep shouldn't be underestimated. It is during this critical stage your brain waves become slow and powerful, and basically burn out loose neuroconnections and reinforce strong ones. It's kind of like brain defragmenting. You would be a serious mess if all you got was REM sleep.
i once stayed up for like 39 hours. And i must say i looked walked and talked like a zombie. NEVER AGAIN will i miss out on my sleep.
