Longest Game Sessions - Break The Record

[RatTrap]

you know.. that's happend to me with many games.. and bout the eyes thing.. yeah yogaman but once you've played the game so long.. you don't nesesarably need to be watching the screen at all times.. i would close mine when i knew i only needed to keep pressing.. or keep moving forward untill the "i'm being attacked" music came on and then i would open my eyes.. chose the way i was gonna kill the monsters.. and close them or look out the window or whatever.. any game after bout 20 hours of playing becomes kinda predictable.. so that's one trick ..

go down to where the "sleep" part of the site starts.. 17 year old guy was awake for 11 days.. i believe there was someone who beat this guy too.. but i don't remember how many days he was awake.. i think it was like 14 days or something.. but i could'nt find the site..

so me staying up for 3 days.. heh.. really.. i'm sure anyone can do it ..

There are people having insomnia that have not slept for years ! :hrm: (or at least only like 1 hour a night now and then...)

Of course they don't have a very good life i assume....
I don't remember where I read this but i believe it was in a mag called "Illustrated Science" (in norwegian...)

Other than that, you beat my record Ratty!

/me goes and stays awake for 5 days playing GTA3......jk....

I think we you get really bad insomia (ie can't sleep at all) then it will actually kill you in about 6 months. I also heard of a radio announcer that wanted to stay awake for 8 days to raise money for charity. Apparently after he did it he had permenant mental problems (well not really mental problems, but his whole personality changed).

actually.. it don't kill you.. what it does is unbalance your brain.. you become "weird" .. heh.. or go completly nutz.. i'm sure though that someone might have died of it.. but that i know of usually ppl just go mental.. develop other personalities.. and so on.. like while one personality is awake the other one is asleep in the back of your mind.. so it's like you being two ppl.. but one is normal and usually the second one is a fruit.. i'm not 100% sure but i'm guessing it's very diferent depending on the person.. i'm sure there's also sane insomniacs too.. although it seems kinda unlikelly ..

the record of a person staying awake for how many days it is now (14 i think.. i'm not at all sure).. is counting on that person not being an insomniac of course.. coz i mean if you are one then it's no challenge ..

Goldeneye

I played multiplayer goldeneye against some friends for 11 hours straight with 1 minute breaks in between to fetch more coke and pizza....the result was temporary blindness and mild schizophrenia....kept thinking I was still in the game

Hmm i think sleep kinda defragments ur brain... u know put all ur thoughts and memory in order etc. and maybe it runs scandisk as well
:devil:

What about Fight Club?

What I'm talking about isn't actually the same thing as insomia. When you have insomia you can still sleep, just very rarely. The disease I'm talking about means that it is actually impossible to sleep at all, and that eventually kills you.
