I've been up since 7:00am yesterday. It is 5:37am now. I don't think I've ever stayed up longer than 24 hours. A psychology major I knew had to stay up for a sleep depravation experiment. He said he started to hallucinate after about the 30th hour. If I can't sleep until this afternoon, I will let you guys know how that goes.

I hear if it goes to the 31st hour, a slow painful death is the next stage. (The stage AFTER that isn't really important.)
My advice to you: fall asleep. NOW!

I usually run through an entire basketball or football game in my head, play by play, in great detail. With this technique, I'm dozing within 5 minutes.

I didn't make it. The Ronco infomercial with the Showtime Rotisserie Grill came on. That thing always puts me to sleep.

You know what I found always works in putting me to sleep ? Open one of the textbooks you have and start reading it, it'll put you to sleep. Works every time for me. I'd be fast asleep after reading about 5 sentences into it.

you know what always puts me to sleep?
watching really old matches that i've seen 18,000 times. the UCLA/Stanford final from 92 and the Stanford/Texas semi from 95 usually work the fastest.

I believe the Navy Seals call it the drone zone when your body just starts to function automatically and you're not really fully aware of what you're doing. They make their recruits go through it in hell week. They get a total of like 4 hours of sleep for the week divided into 15 minute power naps. When I was in Army ROTC basic (which is a little bit easier than real basic) we did a 24 hour patrolling exercise and they didn't let us sleep until the following night at 2200. We were awake for 29 hours (30 for me since I had the first shift of fire guard that night). The hardest part of it was the last 6 hours when we had to sit down and try to focus on cleaning our rifles.

That explains the blood on my hands when I woke up. Must be my SEAL training kicking in.

Found this on page 156. Just read close to all the posts on this board and am near the end! I'm getting sleepy finally. I think I'll go to bed.

GeorgeW, are you for real? Did you really sit and read through all of the pages of posts? You must have a LOT of time on your hands. Interesting topic, though...... Is it that you are TRYING to sleep but you CAN'T (insomnia) or you want to go to sleep but can't because you procrastinated on your term paper and now have to cram 3 weeks worth of work into 1 day. Not that I've ever done that.... Cure for insomnia.....23 semester hours at a time.
