[quote M A V I C][quote davester][quote M A V I C]cbelt3, you're lucky you didn't die. It's not uncommon for people to die after 72hrs of no sleep, especially with what you were taking in.
That sounds like BS to me. Link please.
There was an article a few months back about a gamer at an internet cafe who died after ~72hrs of playing video games and taking in a lot of caffein and sugar. I googled to try and find it, but noticed there's a ton of other stuff on it.
Davester, Mavic is right. I can't pull all the relevant links right now, but, it's general medical opinion that you will die if you get absolutly no sleep (that includes no naps or 'conscious sleep'/meditation).
[quote Will Collier]I did almost all of my senior design project (aerospace engineering) in about 50 hours. The paper version was still warm from the printer when I handed it in. I drew the very last presentation of the day, and I was having hallucinations in the back of the classroom waiting for my turn to present.
I got an A, surprisingly enough...
Funny Will, I did it in college to, working one of my senior design projects in aerospace engineering as well. I stayed up somewhere between 4.5 to 5 days. I had a couple of catnaps of up to 30 minutes a day.
