as above :D

im useless at staying awake longer than 16 hours, ive never managed to go a full day without sleep, I always get to about 22 hours and start feeling very very ill...


and is it just me, or does bacon become more appealing when you do this?

Simple, really.

Every few months I have a week where I don't sleep or scratch by on a couple of hours every other day.

I'm currently at 26 hours and about to go to bed. It's simple really, just do the same as me...

Get up at 0800 and go into university. Work there until 2000 and then drive to work for your 12 hour night shift. Leave work at 0800, go home and browse the web for 2 hours.

Easy peasy.
 
Just don't lie down, I find I don't feel tired until im horizontal. If you need help there's always coffee, redbull, cigs, ephedrine, etc.
 
Dont get bored, the second you do that your asleep.

I managed 23hours I was watching a movie and got bored and well asleep. :rolleyes:

Caffiene can help to get you from like 4am till sunrise. Once the sun is up your body "resets" and you aint as tired anymore.
 
try working 12 1/2 hr days/nights shifts for about 35 years every time you do the first night its a 24 hour stint


tips for doing it brightly lit surounding, noise not music, plenty to do
 
My advice on staying awake is not to go to sleep. Yup, I think that's pretty much the most important part.

PS You've never been awake for more than 16 hours straight? That's incredible.
 
Hard to comprehend you finding that so difficult O.o

Just keep your self occupied, play game on pc/console (specially mmorpg, the time just flies by!) watch a film, randomly dance round the room with loud music on xD!

And as someone else mentioned dont lie down o:

no no, you didnt read it properly ;) once i get beyond 16 hours, it all goes downhill.

that's when i'll start playing games again...when they're so realistic, if you lose, you die! :D

There are two mistakes when you can't sleep:

1 - staying up and keeping yourself busy.
2 - thinking you'll get 'a couple of hours' if you nap...
