Re: No sleep for around 3 to 4 days

I went over 3 days without sleep once when I was 14ish. By the end of the third day I was hallucinating and literally thought I was going to die, because for some reason I couldn't fall asleep even though I wanted to. Had to lay in bed waiting hours for my body's rhythm to finally put me to sleep, having really crazy hallucinations the entire time.

Also paranoia or something, because I had this really odd inexplicable belief that some great force of evil was present in one of the rooms of my house and I'd stand and stare at the door terrified of it, like I could feel it pulsating in there or something. Like it couldn't leave that room, but was telepathically calling me to come inside so it could kill me, and I was fighting with myself not to obey it.

No drugs at all and have never had an experience anything like that before or since (haven't stayed awake longer than 2 days since). Sleep deprivation past 3 days is like the worst bad acid trip ever. Or like really really bad schizophrenia.

Although if its a small stakes bet you'll probably give up around day 3

If it's for a large amount of money relative to your net worth though 4 days would be doable

I've never done more than around 48-50 hours personally as i've had no reason to

100 hours is tough, less is doable

Easy game to go 150 hours if your banging 7 gram rocks and finishing them like @charliesheen.. buddy of mine did 92 hours on adderol and his hands turned purple and he started seeing ghosts. I've personally only went like 70 hours and then I crashed for about 20 and my legs were numb when I woke up. GL sir il give you 15:1 for the bet of 100 hours

I would do >100 hours at even money. I've gone 7 days/nights on a few occasions and it's not that difficult

if 7 days is not that difficult then you surely wouldn't be opposed to 2:1 odds on 10 days?

I would do 10 days as long as there is no limit on the drugs I am allowed to take

Re: No sleep for around 3 to 4 days

without drugs must be hella tough, I went 7 days without sleep while on meth and x but man I think on day 5 or 6 I knew exactly what would happen throughout that day, like seeing the future. It was the trippiest day of my life. I was literally telling my friends everything that would happen for the next few hours and it would actually happen exactly as I would say. I spoke to them later after when I was sober and they confirmed that I was able to call out the events of the day before they happened so I know I wasn't crazy. Anyway, 3 days is pretty simple I do that sober w/o a problem 4+ is a challenge though.

Re: No sleep for around 3 to 4 days

Phil Laak played poker for 115 hours straight, which is coming up on 5 days straight.

I don't think you'll get great odds on 3-4 days. If you up it to 5 days or so you might get decent odds.

I think the most I've done was 44-46 but I've never had incentive to go longer. I felt pretty fine when I stayed up that long, but 2 days is nothing

They had challenges a few days such as sitting in pitch black rooms cuddling giant teddybears.

They were allowed something like 30 minutes microsleep a day I seem to recall.

I would GLADLY take that bet.

However I feel like that is basically asking you to kill yourself

Re: No sleep for around 3 to 4 days

I've done 3 days no sleep during exam season last year. I was fuelled by adrenaline and fear of failing. It's possible if you put your mind to it.

btw, i ended up getting an A on those exams so it paid off
