and its free and legal..well, just dont drive after being up 24 hours, i hear thats considered driving impaired (which makes sense)

and this past week i didnt get much sleep. thursday night i went into the city, and hour and a half drive, to watch my best friends hockey game. i wasnt driving, but i was tired enough that everything seemed to be like...layered? everything at a certain distance really popped out. it was kinda like a pop-up book. it was cool. and i felt like i was in a movie after the game...not sure if that was related to the lack of sleep or not though.

4o hours for me.

But it's possible to not sleep for 40 to 50 Days. Learned about it in school. Rare genetic disease that turns off your ability to sleep completely. Eventually you die.

Nope. It's a genetic defect that runs in very few family groups. Not everyone get's it, but it hits around age 40ish. Kinda sad.

But it proves you can stay awake for 40 days. Dare someone to try it Razz

so it runs in families and is extremely rare...cool.

and the longest id attempt is 30 days. if you can die after 40, id want a little buffer between life and death.
