|1-60 Hours Awake



Hello  world,  dis iz Mammoth again wiv more spiel for ya.  Dis time its
an  article  about  something  I did last week, I stayed awake for SIXTY
HOURS!!

The  reason  I  did it was because I wanted to see how long I could stay
awake  for and to see if you do start hallucinating after about fifty or
so  hours.  The first night was easy as I had a mate staying over and we
were going to go to Portman Road in Ipswich early to get our tickets for
the  Norwich  match,  we thought there would be a mega queue but when we
got  there  at  ten  past eight there was'nt a soul about.  Ace, a night
without sleep for no reason, fine.

Anyway,  he  buggered  off  soon after and I thought to myself, "I shall
stay  awake  tonight too, to see what its like", it was tough, but I got
some mega-strong coffee and guzzled loads of it to keep me awake.

I  started  coding  on  my  amiga  during  the day (just a shit intro in
Blitz2)  but  my brain was knackered so I stopped coding at about ten in
the evening.

I  spent  the  rest  of the night playing games on my old Commodore 128,
stuff like Citadel, Armalyte, Zynaps, Cybernoid 2 and Uridium.  Before I
knew  it  the  time was 8:00 am and I had been awake about 46 hours, how
did  I  feel?   Brain  - nearly given up, body - near breaking point.  I
knew  though  if  I  went  to  sleep  there would be no waking me, I was
terribly  irritable  during  the day, I was perfectly normal I just felt
like I was high on something (probably Alta Rica coffee).

Anyway I went to bed about nine that evening after sixty hours and slept
until  five  the next afternoon, not bad really.  Mind you I fell asleep
at  the  kitchen  table  and  went to bed that night at eleven and slept
another twelve hours.

Would I do that again??  I would rather have oral with Freak!!
