haven't slept properly for 72 hours.
 

em brain dead..
my mind is wide awake
took me almost 5 minutes to type 'brain'
help me sleep people..
no smashed hammers over the head.
no sleeping pill suggestions..
no lullabyes..

i just

want
sleep!!:(

Meh,try 32 days.

Go watch barney or the teletubies or that show with nickie and paris hilton.

Oh, that is not good, stubborn. Go watch a little something relaxing, listen to some relaxing music, settle down, sleep good. Yes! You will relax now, get a good night's sleepa.

What advice do you have for me then?

I'm not joking either! You go relax, music helps, drink a nice glass of warm milk or hot chocolate. Warm soup even...warm stuff relaxes you. You get some sleep now yes

Alright,i'll go try that......













again.

Yes. You guys all...relax...you are getting sleepy.

One thing that works for me, I read a book, like a ghost story or something, that usually puts me right out. Stories work well because I concentrate on the story, and if I am tired, that makes me more tired and foop! Asleep.

Also watching cartoons helps too, late at night. Try it, it works for me. Cartoons.

If it works for you, send me five dollars for the advice. I just kidding.

Tried it again.Didn't work.

Just listen to my station... it will put you right out...lol...

That didn't even work.

I find when I cant get to sleep that the worse thing I can do is fight it! I accept that the mind is running on overkill/drive, get out of bed and do something I would normally do in the day like watch tv. Make a nice, warm milky drink and chill out.

Or I wrap myself in something warm and do some star-gazing for a while - anything that stops me from fighting the frustration of not being able to sleep.

I find that within an hour I am ready to shut my eyes. And even then, if I still cant sleep, I will cosy up in bed with a good book and again, just chill.

Sometimes, just laying in bed, taking in long, slow deep breaths and even longer exhales tends to help me drift off.

Fighting insomnia doesnt work.

whiskey+nyquil

Listen to my voice

"You are all getting sleepy.........eyelids growing heavy....heavy.......heavy....thats it...drift off now......go to sleep

Man I hate not going to sleep. Takes me forever everynight to go to sleep. Once in a blue moon, I can not sleep for anything, but I just lay there with my eyes closed for the most part, & just get some rest. Try that. It's not sleep, but it's something. And then the next day I don't feel like a zombie.

The only ways I can get to sleep is get drunk or watch movies, both in excess untill, i'm gone!

oi!!focus on the thread starter dammit!!!



:o

em asking for remedies..
i don't want to know about your own traumatic experiences..


LOL. shit!!

I already told you what to do...............

72 hours without sleep? I doubt it , you would be dead. I think it's clear that you're lying.

That's why she typed have'nt slept properly, not at all.

when did your parole get granted..??

crazy mofo's...I told you-all you people that can't sleep-DRUGS!
I mean what the heck are drug-pushers, I mean, Doctors for anyways..sheesh.

taking pills is not my thing..laying awake in another part of the country
however..driving myself nuts with my thoughts and keeping the rest of
the household up is another.
Right now em away from auckland and em in our capital (wellington)..
where I am staying is right in the heart of thier nightclubbing district..

Its quite hilarious staring from the balcony..at all finely dressed..
nice looking drunks falling all over the place.
You know..half the girls that have walked past don't look any older than
15.
I think i will get me a bucket of water n just wait for the next bitch that yells
'WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO' as she passes and dump it all over her sorry ass.

No, you wouldn't be dead, my record is 112 hours......

112 ''ouch''



last years xlan mine was close to 60 hours throughout the whole
weekend..but 112??

It was getting tedious by the end, i even snorted mercendoll, but still no sleep, a very big weekend, i remeber laying in bed watching the time tick over,.........

Ever hear of insomnia?

Buy some Tylonol PM. they work for me. I have trouble sleeping also.
Ambiens are great but require doctors prescription.

The longest I've been awake was three days. I've known people that have been awake for 15 days before. I think you have to be awake for 4-6 weeks before it kills you, though your body usually makes you pass out before then.

If you have chronic insomnia, I would seriously go to a doctor and get some sleeping pills or go to a sleep clinic. There's usually a reason why you can't sleep, but untill you figure it out and correct it, takes some pills for a couple of nights just to sleep for awhile.

If you don't want to take pills, take Valerian root. I don't recommend eating it raw though, I would take it capsule form because it tastes disgusting. But Valerian will definitely relax you naturally and that's usually enough for your body to sleep for awhile.

Well, there's always big-ass sharp shiney needles:D

Nah, I used to pull around 72 hours ALL the time...It's easy if you're playing a video game ;)

Anyway:

Man Breaks Sleep Deprivation Record

A man has claimed a new record by succeeding in his bid to stay awake for 11 days as part of his research into human sleep.

Tony Wright, 42, began his attempt on the 264-hour record at 6am on May 14 at the Studio Bar in Penzance, west Cornwall.

A qualified horticulturist, he relied on a raw food diet, including fruit, salad, seeds and nuts, to help keep him awake.

After setting the record just after 6am on Friday, he said: "I feel pretty good but a bit shaky. It has not really sunk in yet that I have beaten the record.

"I do not feel tired yet, but there is a bit of adrenaline pumping around at the moment."

He said his diet and intake of herb tea "seemed to make a big difference to my ability to stay awake and remain functional".

Mr Wright had the help of friends, chatting and playing pool, to keep him awake. He has conducted 15 years of research into human sleep, and claimed each side of the human brain requires a different amount of sleep. With appropriate preparation, it is possible to stay awake and remain functional for long periods, he said.

During his record bid he said he had one "near sleep experience" and found the most difficult thing to do was writing his website diary while sleep-deprived.

Student Randy Gardner set the Guinness World Record in 1964 as part of a science project in San Diego, US.

Talk about nit-picking!!! Stubbornforgey didnt say she hadnt slept completely for 72 hours - she actually said "havent slept PROPERLY, (meaning *broken sleep*) for 72 hours" - there's a bloody big difference.

And you cant die from insomnia in a couple of days, it can take months, for the effects of no sleep to kill you.

You dont watch enough documentaries.

LOL.
