[Ethan Smith]

Hello, I'm Ethan Smith, and I am addicted.

7 to 10 hours a day, I'm performing a time wasting act that often ends with me confused about Freudian imagery. I am speaking, of course, about sleep.

Last night on, I've decided to go cold turkey.

I'll tell you guys how this works out.

[mythicknight]

I tried this once. It did not end well.

Good luck.

[Ethan Smith]

So, 5 hour energy drink?

Yeah, it works as prescribed. Just drank one, and I feel like punching a lion in the face.

[Lord GVChamp]

My brother-in-law drank a 5 hour energy and passed out.


Good luck on your finals, Ethan!

If you're pulling an all nighter, I'd suggest doing it outside, where it's colder so you're more likely to keep up.
Putting on some headbanging music helps too, as does reading a book that's ACTUALLY INTERESTING. Unfortunately of the 3 books I reread for the final only one of them was interesting, the other was a !@#$%* lit book and the last one was a book written by the teacher, whom I like to call "SUNY Purchase's own mini-Noam Choamsky"

Also, apparently at some schools after 4 AM if you meet the custodians for the vending machines they just give you stuff.

Which is awesome.

I personally am going to relapse for a couple of hours before my Cuban History final comes up.

Wish me luck everyone.

All it takes for me to pull an all nighter is to drink one cup of coffee.

You guys need supplements to stay up? Weak.


Carbonated mineral water keeps me going though anything.

Not enough time for Cybernations, hey?

I needed the 5 hour energy upon 20 hours of staying up, I managed the night with a cup of coffee.

[Squiggers]

72 hours was my last one, and my best. I did it out of shear boredem, I believe.

I didn't go further than that.

My friend, however, did. Incredibly foolish. Hallucinations, et al, the whole lot.

[rommelgrad]

For some reason energy drinks do nothing for me, but I can stay up all night as long as theirs beer in the fridge D:

I spend 48hours awake once without drinking anything.
Maybe some booze on the initial hours and I went out, but that kind of makes it harder to stay awake


I meant that If i take a cup of coffee on the wrong time, there is a 50-50% chance I wont sleep at all.

[DustyCloud]

I want to stay up long enough to get hallucinations. It sounds interesting.

[HHAYD]

The only supplement I use to help me pull of an all night study, is posting in CN forums.

[Melkson]

7 to 10 hours? You're calling that an addiction?

That's generally how long I spend "getting up".

[Arkantos]

Give me a Coke a midnight and again at 3 AM, and I can go all night.

[Lord GVChamp]

I need to drink a Coke just to stay awake during the day without falling asleep

[Zessa]

My ability to stay up is quite random. I can go close to fifty hours with no supplements (only did this twice) sometimes, but once in a while I'll be too tired to stay up to midnight.

Edit: I don't drink caffeinated drinks if at all possible, so I could probably go longer.

I once went for 3 days with no sleep, no real hallucinations, but kept hearing things behind me and though I saw movement on the edge of my vision.

So, all it did was make me paranoid. I do not suggest staying up longer than that.

That needs to be their slogan

I once stayed up 48 hours without sleep, with surprisingly little help from caffeine and sugar and crap, it wasn't too fun. Caffeine really has no effect on me, I can drink three or four liters of Coke in a day, and still sleep well
