Raz,
Do you take meds? I'm a sleepy depressive; I think I made it 14 hours once.
Read info on Keith Richards, he hasn't slept since '92. With Jagger as a partner, I'd sleep with one eye open too.
I can't imagine staying awake for 5 days. If you do try, I hope you eat well and don't take Vitamin S to help. That will almost guarantee temporary psychosis or death."If i think of doing summet i have to do it."
Why? After 5 days of no sleep you may think you can fly. Please don't try it, I flapped like crazy and sunk like a rock.And please, stop thinking. : )
Actually, I've known meth addicts who would stay awake for very long periods of time. I'm 50 and they would have been but their hearts stopped..forever. I went to ones funeral(his dad died very young from heart disease)and an African-American man who was playing in a softball tournament with my friend did the eulogy.
He said before the game, he and my friend got on the subject of death. My friend said when he goes he hoped it was quick. Less than one minute later he dropped dead.
Sleeping keeps us from losing our minds. I wouldn't advise losing your mind, I haven't enjoyed it at all.
Maybe try shooting for the world pushup record would be better.Phil
