For the chance to receive 100 million dollars you have to stay awake for a full 72 hours.

The challenge will be carried out in the comfort of your own home. Every room has multiple cameras and microphones. Non invasive sensors are attached to your head. You can eat and drink whatever you like. The only stimulant you can use are caffeine products only. So , how would you ward off the zzzzzz’s ?

    I did this multiple times through college, and the reward was an awful lot less than $100m. Admittedly I was on a ton of amphetamines at the time.

    But for that kind of money, I’m hiring someone to slap me in the back of the head every hour so I don’t fall asleep, and covering my floors in Lego.

    72 hours is easy.
    I stayed awake for 11 days… Drugs were just weed.

    I’ll take my 100 million 🙂

    this would be hard having to simultaneously quit nicotine but if that doesn’t count as a stimulant then it’s easy money.

    Is the money guaranteed if I complete the 72 hours? The title makes it seem like I’m added to a raffle or something lol.

    If it’s guaranteed yeah I’d definitely give it a shot.

    For that much money. I can stay up for 96 hours without any stimulant.

    Easy. Take up an MMORPG and fall down the rabbit hole for a long weekend.

    Do I get my prescription medications? because that includes stimulants.

    If I get access to my prescription meds I can do this. It would be awful, heinous, and fucking vile, but I can do it.

    Yeah, 72 hours isn’t particularly hard. Just drink lots of coffee and keep busy and I’ll be fine.

    As well as plenty of caffeine, cold showers, keeping active etc, you don’t forbid us from also having access to the sensors. Rig up something to linked to them to deliver a shock if I start to fall asleep.

    People have stayed up for eleven days before. Three is no issue, pretty sure I’ve done two just for fun.
