Title: Hey EB, I'm going to be up for 50 hours in a row!
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on November 19, 2008, 08:56:56 PM: Fine tuning a project, doing homework, correcting a test, and doing drawings for another project.

I've been up since 7 AM. How I intend to get through it is by relaxing while showering and going to the steam room twice.

Right now, I'm 13 hours in.

Stay tuned.

Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on November 19, 2008, 09:09:18 PM: I've been up about 60 hours before. It sucks but nothing I haven't done before. Its kind of energizing in its own way.

Post by: brawndolicious on November 20, 2008, 04:53:45 AM: so are you going to just crash for the entire weekend?

I'd imagine that all your coursework would be due next week right before thanksgiving but even if it's due this week, you'll feel half-dead and be crazy looking if you do this.

Make sure you take pictures.

Sounds like a typical day for me!
Title: Re: Hey EB, I'm going to be up for 50 hours in a row!
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on November 20, 2008, 12:12:21 PM: I kept working through and since I drove there, I walked home. It was near freezing so the cold air did a good job of keeping me up. Took a shower where I became energized, and now I'm at it again.

The good news is that I'm just about done with everything but I might work on more things in advance so I have a pretty easy last couple weeks of school.

So 28 hours in.

Post by: Bloodwake on November 20, 2008, 01:42:13 PM: Yeah, I've stayed up for 3 days in a row before. I can't do that shit anymore though. I need and love my sleep way too much.
Title: Re: Hey EB, I'm going to be up for 50 hours in a row!
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on November 20, 2008, 10:45:53 PM: Still up, still going strong.

I'm feeling a bit tired but I've been running on Red Bull for most of the day. I was pretty on top of the homework I did and successfully corrected my test. I saved the more mind numbing tasks for last so at least if I get drained, I won't really mess them up.

About 12-13 more hours left to go.

Post by: laesperanzapaz on November 21, 2008, 12:26:18 AM: actually i've just finished looking at porn right now and am posting right before going to jack off, then going to bed

hopefully you will now hate your life more

Hah, that used to make me whip my head around real fast, because I always thought they were bugs on the wall or flying around. :lol 50 hours is rough, man. I'd advise against it. Hell, even 30 hours is rough if you're over 24 years old. I definitely notice a reduction in tolerance for lack of sleep as I get older (I'm 30 now).

I still can't see why you can't get at least a couple of hours of sleep even if you're this swamped. An hour of rest every 6-8 hours of work during that 50 hours wouldn't hurt much.

In fact, it'll make you work much more efficiently.

Yeah seriously. There's no reason why you should stay up for 50 hours straight without getting a couple of hours of sleep other than bragging rights.
Title: Re: Hey EB, I'm going to be up for 50 hours in a row!
Post by: Olivia Wilde Homo on November 21, 2008, 03:42:30 PM: Well, I did it a few hours ago so I'm about 55 hours w/o sleep currently.

- My work was always efficient. I liked what I was doing so I never had a problem with slipping quality of work. I made sure I tackled the hardest stuff first so in case I was fried, I could do the simple stuff later.

- The only moment where I had difficulty was very early this morning.

- Everything turned out well. No bloodshot eyes, no zombie like feeling. I feel better than I thought.

- No bragging rights intended. Now I have some actual time to relax. It should be fun.

Off to nap.
