It's late...

[Anti-gravity]

So, what do you guys do when your trying to stay up or go to bed? Also, what's the longest you've ever stayed up or stayed asleep?

For me, I just watch as much t.v. as I can and blink as little as possible or when trying to sleep, I try to think about stupid boring things (like breathing patterns, pet fish, etc.) .

As for sleep records; I have stayed up and slept for two days straight.

 

[Dxz5roxg]

I get on The Escapist or play games. I'd say my record is probably about 30 hours awake.

 

[Pimppeter2]

Its 5:20am here, I'm playing games on my phone, texting, Facebook-ing, and typing out this sentence which is ending right here.

 

[hottsaucekid]

I stay up until 6 am every night b/c well...thats what i do in the summer. usually im here or on WoW...sad to say its getting kinda repetitive.

 

[Ekit]

Escapist or gaming when I don't want to sleep.

When I want to sleep I go to bed.

And mt record for staying awake is probably around 30 hours.

 

[Shemming]

Well me i talk to people and listen to music, jst remove all nice realxing songs from your shuffle function.

ive stayed up 3 days straight before, and tyhen slept for a whole day.

 

[Rusman]

Usually Escapist... Lurking or watching old videos, chatting to people or shock horror; playing video games.
My longest time awake I think is around the 40 hour mark... give or take a few hours.

 

[Sonicron]

It depends; usually I go to bed at around 00.30 or 01.00, but if I'm doing something particularly interesting it somewhere in the region between 03.30 and 07.00.

The longest I've ever been awake was around 80 hours straight. And for the record: Insomnia. Fucking. Sucks.

 

[thom_cat_]

I usually go to bed around 1-2am... but it's the holidays so I've been going to sleep at 2-4.
Yeah, but then I wake up at 12.

 

[Aiden_the-Joker1]

I went two full days without sleep once and the longest time I have been asleep is probably about 14 hours

 

[JIst00]

96hours awake. The world went silly. Or maybe I did. Who knows.
When staying awake, walking, smoking, coffee, gaming and trying to stay active helps.

Edit: My maths are bad.

 

[Supernatural Girl]

I usually stay awake (or try to) until around 4/5 am talking to my friend on MSN. Sometimes if I'm really tired I just fall asleep. I sleep until around 12pm, but today I didn't wake up until 2:30pm!

Longest I've stayed awake would probably be about 40hours and that was because I was young and drank a litre of energy drink, so couldn't sleep at night.

My friend's sleeping pattern goes sort of like "go to bed at 5/6 am, sleep at 7 am, wake up around 4 pm" rinse repeat. And that is his life.

 

[Czargent Sane]

am I the only one who thought that title was suggesting something?

OT: I watch anime

 

[MakeLoveNotWar]

When I want to stay up I take a cold shower straight after a jog, it works well. My longest run without sleep is around 42 hours.

 

[Mcupobob]

Escapist

three days later I'm found dead in my chair.

 

[Lizardon]

I've never even gone 24 hours without sleep. My body just crashes after so many hours awake.
If I want to stay up later I'll go on the Escapist, browse the forums, play a game, watch videos, but I'm absolute shit the next morning if I have to get up before 10.

 

[ExileNZ]

Lately I just can't sleep, it's too hot, so I stay on the computer til 3 or so.

Longest I've stayed awake was probably back around System Shock 2, where I played for about 2 days straight (stopping only for food and toilet breaks).

 

[child of lileth]

If I'm trying to stay up, I just read or something. When I'm trying to go to sleep, I just can't. I can never force myself to sleep when I need to.

The longest I ever stayed up was five 24 hour days (some people get picky about if I counted the full 24 hours or not) in a row. The longest I slept was about 20 hours straight once.

 

[Spinozaad]

Whatever I feel like doing at the moment. Although TVtropes is a repeat offender.

About two-and-a-halve days. And I've once done five days on nine hours of sleep.

 

[DSK-]

I usually use a few litre bottles of orange Lucozade to keep me awake. The longest I have stayed up is 43 and a half hours. I had 2 hours sleep and then stayed up another 43 and a half hours. Playing with American gamers is hard work :/
