To those who want to try, it's not really worth it. I made it through 23 and a half hours with no sleep. It wasn't out of curiosity of course. I just had a lot to do and a deadline I needed to make. I was tired and took a nap at about 9:30 pm. (Like I said, I wasn't planning on actually deriving myself of sleep so I gave my body a little breather.) I woke at 12:01 am, according to my clock. I jumped in front of my laptop then thinking I already wasted hours.
I typed and typed and typed, occasionally peeking at my facebook account - I needed a little distraction to keep me awake. Before I knew it, it was 3:00 and then it was 6:00. In between those times I only drank 2 cups of coffee. So I washed up, still thinking of the things I needed to do then went to school.
If you think you can pull off a sleepless night, forget it. Being a girl especially, I wasn't exactly thrilled when asked about my haggard appearance. I pushed the comments away focusing on what was at hand. I studied, I typed and basically tried not to fall senseless while working. The day passed, exams done, but our project still unfinished.
There were three of us working on that one project I spent my sleeping hours on. It was frustrating that they did not do their agreed share and I went through the day like a zombie.
I guess it would have been better if I had slept. Our class ended at 8:00 in the evening and I went home arriving at 10:30. I wanted to eat but couldn't, I was upset. I went to bed at 11:30. Only then did I realized that I hadn't slept for almost a whole day. I thought of staying up longer, but then I told myself, "what's the use, I mean I'm already in bed and comfortable, might as well close my eyes."
I've taken my bed fore granted. I left it alone too much.The rest you get after a long day's work is priceless. It doesn't really matter if you had unfinished business, all that matters is that you were able to breath.
