24 hours on the dot , then i crashed :/

I got challenged by my friends (4 of them) for 30 GBP per person (120 GBP) to stay awake for 3 days, i did it whilst spending about 3 hours exercising per day, they paid me the money but after i didn't sleep for 3 days i couldn't get more than 4 hours sleep at night so i went to the doctors a couple of weeks after the "challenge" and i was diagnosed with insomnia and paranoia, dont do that kids, i urge you to get a healthy nights sleep; even if it is summer holiday.

that's the bad thing, once you get used to not sleeping, you actually can't hahah! I take it you're okay now?

Why'd they diagnose you with paranoia?

I think just over 1 day. I don't tend to do all nighters because I like my sleep.

Unfortunately i am still the same as mentioned above after 1 year the paranoia has dissipated but the insomnia is still strong and keeps me from sleeping, i usually go out for jogs when i cant sleep.

I got diagnosed with insomnia because i can only sleep for a few hours which made me tired mentally which i then formed paranoia from missing sleep some nights, i had to get a job at home because i was always paranoid that everyone was out to get me in some way (outside people).

HarmfulMushroom wrote Wow you guys are crazy haha. I could only stay awake for I think just shy of 48 hours playing Skyrim after taking my final exam. Went to sleep only after I realized I walked strait off the same cliff 5 times. My mind was on a 5 second lag or something.. And I'm not talking about a narrow bridge, I mean a freaking cliff overlooking an enormous gorge kind of thing...

I know exactly what you mean! I remember after about 40 hours once I was playing MW2 and it got to the point I was just staring at the screen and I couldn't do anything hahah

Probably just over 2 days
