I will go 84 hours without sleeping. AMA

r/

I’m doing this for three reasons:

1 – Boredom

2 – To beat my 2024 record of staying awake for 60 hours

3 – I want to see shadows, I think it’s funny

    Will you be using any stimulants to stay up? Which ones? Do you have experience with them?

    Are you taking time off of work?? Good luck… but don’t push it too far, and listen to yourself!

    Good luck OP

    I once went almost 2 weeks without sleeping a minute or feeling tired at all! It was bizarre. No side effects whatsoever. No decline in cognitive functions, etc,

    I’ve got insomnia that comes and goes.

    I went 100 and change in Iraq. Not exactly sure, but it was 5+ days.

    Are you worried about any of the health risks? Do you do this alone?

    I stayed up for a few days years ago. Weird things happen. You hear things that arnt there. You do things without thinking. You see things that arnt there. Its a big haze. You space out allot.

    The best i can describe it is on a hot summer day, when you look at the hood of a car sitting in the sun, and you can see the distortion from the heat coming off the car… thats what everything had; a wavyness to it.
    And yeah, the shadows. LoL. Im familiar with those as well.

    I slept all through the night and all through the following day. Woke up at late in the day, probably around 7pm or so.

    Shouldn’t you be speaking with someone?

    Will you be using drugs or stimulants of any kind to aid in your ability to stay awake?

    What are “the shadows” like?

  17. MaintenanceWilling73 Avatar

    Hell yea man. Is it chemically assisted? Do you have someone to check on you? Also, remember at 72 hours is when the psychosis kicks in. So don’t murder anyone. Might as well hide the weapons while ur at it.

    How old are you? Do you have sleeping issues in general? How did this start?

    They did an experiment where a man stayed awake for several days he ended up having insomnia for years afterward. It can really mess things up in a long term way.
