I'm going on a no-sleep marathon - 14 days without sleep!

[HamsterDemocracy]

A 17-year-old boy holds the world record for staying awake eleven days straight. I'm often awake into the wee hours of the morning anyway so I've decided I'm going to break his record and stay awake for two weeks straight. I'll be drinking much Rock Star, Red Bull, and using HTGTH a lot, too.

They say after a couple days is when you start hallucinating. I think I'm going to start this Sunday and see how far I can get. Should be interesting!

I'm making this to prove I actually did it in case Guiness needs verification - this way I can prove I had plans to do this and with eyewitness testimonies by family members and friends and this documented proof they'll put me in their books.

Wish me luck!

WEll hell good luck!

Let us know when you see the shadow people.............

I saw them around the 4th day once..............

[Axl4Prez2004]

Now THAT is fucking hilarious.  The over/under I will set at 85 hours!  At 84 hours, you'll be like, "Yes, I made it to 3 1/2 days!"  Before you realize you did it, you'll be asleep that hour.
 

That "shadow people" line made me laugh. 

I don't know.  I'd caution against this kind of self-abuse.  In the grand scheme of things, this can't possibly help yor body.  I hope you'll reconsider.

You sure that's enough?

But still, good luck!!

[Elrothiel]

Good luck! Hope it works out! And then when you're done you can sleep straight for another 14 days!

You're gonna need at LEAST an eight ball of meth. Probably more. Dont drink anything but coffee or soda. I know you can do it. I stayed up a week before, but had to go to bed due to the crash of running out of meth.

[Skeba]

You're kidding... right?

Or do you really think a message on a messageboard is enough proof to convince enough people to get a world record.. Another thing is that the whole idea is pretty idiotic if you ask me (you propably won't).


I suggest you read at least this, and hopefully do a bit more studying of this before attempting anything like that.

Get a job u hippy

If u have 14 days to waste you must be living the worlds most boring and unproductive life - try entering that into the record books instead

Sir, you have my contempt

Several months ago I didn't sleep for 10 days... not by choice, I was withdrawing from methadone (taken for a sciatic nerve injury, NOT heroin).  By the fourth day I thought I was going to have a psychotic episode, which kind of happened around the sixth day, when my mother took me to CVS pharmacy to pick up a prescription for Ambien.  I started screaming in the store and couldn't stop.
Lack of sleep does devastating things to the body.  There will come a point where your body will shut down, so I agree with James, the kid probably took something other than red bull to stay up.  Plus, I think Guiness requires A LOT of documentation.  I don't think they will accept eyewitness testamony.  If they did, anyone with their friends and family can lie and say they broke a record.  If it's really important to you, CALL GUINESS!  Ask them what proof they need.  They're not going to look at a message board as proof, because how can you prove you were the one sending all of the messages.  But don't start this without knowing for sure what you need for Guiness. 
Also, don't even think about driving!  Breaking a world record isn't worth killing someone on the highway.
So, be prepared, be smart... and good luck.

[Grouse]

you have no idea what you are getting yourself into, there are so many rules you have to follow when attempting to break an existing world record.
You really need to contact guiness first, you might wanna check their site...

[Natasha23]

Here's the link to break or make a world record.

It looks like you have to apply first before you attempt to break a record and the approval time for applications is 4 to 6 weeks.

[J-Studham]

Buddhists sit with their back straight and their legs crossed (makes it impossible to sleep) so they can meditate for hours without sleeping. I'm gonna try it one day

[Eclipsed107]

14 days without sleep?  Fuck that, I wouldn't want to go 14 hours without sleep.

[nycangel]

stay off the gas mate

[LeftToDecay]

Surely 2 WEEKS without sleep, appropriate medication(?)and other  preperations could do some major damage?Even IF you somehow managed. Which sounds very unlikely. If you are serious about this, it might be better to do some homework regarding the matter for starters?
And ay, I bet Guiness couldn't care less. Family testimonials and message board announcements mean jack shit.
I've been holding my breath for 4 months now.This thread and my mom can prove it.

But ehh, Skipping an occasional night is pretty interesting/fun.
I often end up taking 24-30 hour sleepless bursts before important exams and such.I'm sure I could not/don't want to take it any farther than that:)

[Australian_Love]

god what a stupid idea,? i would insult you, but i'd cop some more karma? .?

[-Jack-]

Meh don't listen to the haters RR.

Do it for the glory!
