Longest You've Been Awake

[gekko]

Was up for 56 hours in Iraq once. Bunch of bad luck in a row, missions got extended, new ones popped up, all chained together. Needless to say, I was barely functional at the end, and we finally had a 30 minute break before the next mission, so we all went to sleep. Woke up about 12 hours later, still exhausted, to find out the mission was canceled. Thank God.

I do enjoy being awake at night, for the calmness and silence, but I value my sleep, and don't place any value in ruining my sleep schedule for the sake of browsing the internet or playing games.

Sorry you're getting screwed at work. I'm going to go to bed now and get some rest.

I'm getting screwed big time here.

Figured I could catch a quick nap or something.

But a damn resident doesn't want to go to his bed.
And in no hurry to nap in front of them. They will use it against you.

And not many people up at this hour.

In college for a period of time I would only sleep every third day. Used to hallucinate from sleep deprivation.

I just worked for 48 hours straight from Tuesday to Thursday (if you don't count the few minutes I passed out on the floor) trying to make a deadline I didn't make. Did some crap work during that time which I have to now redo this weekend. Staying up for that long by itself is one thing, but drawing nonstop for that long hurts the head...and hands...and back...and eyes. Building some serious calluses on my fingers. Probably will sleep soon. Don't want another repeat.

I heard about one art project for people who do comics.


Basically it is a 24 hour thing, where you are up for 24 hours, locked in one room. And you have to write and draw a comic over that time, with only 24 sheeets of paper. So you should have 24 pages at the end. One page per hour........try it

I should now that I know I can actually draw for that long. Next 24 Hour Comics Day is in October. We shall see.
