I am on hour 27 without sleep... why do i feel nautious? How did they do it during the battle of the bulge staying up for 2 days straight? i just put on a fresh pot of coffee on. Any advice? |
First up, why? Nausea? Dunno.
I'm going to guess they were running on enough adrenaline to kill a rhino.
Don't you want to sleep?
You'll be fine for a few hours after the worst is over. I can't remember what it's called but there is a time between like 3 and 5 AM (?) that you need sleep most... Once you get past that time you'll be OK. Last time I pulled an all-nighter I went to work and nodded off standing up. I was a fish cutter and would fall asleep cutting fish... I woke up when my chin hit my chest. But once I got past a certain point of exhaustion, I actually wasn't too bad. Tired, obviously, but still functioning. |

27 hours? What, are you some kind of kid? My record is 84 hours. After the first day, I was constantly hungry. After 36 hours, humor was easy. Evverything was funny. After day two, I was getting punchy. By 72 hours, I started to feel normal again. Once that week was over, I called my parents, told them I was going to be gone for a day and not to worry. Slept from thursday afternoon to friday night. In the Army, I did 60 hours. When Top found out (it was the CO who requested my presence, not contacting the XO who knew I had pulled double shift of CQ, then mobilized to the field), he gave me 2 days off, IN THE FIELD! And started Art.15 against some drunk who took a swing at me when I suggested that he should be quiet at 2300 in the field barracks. |
I am in med school and doing a 2nd BS in finance... I am 20 ... need I say more? but i have a test on thursday so i dont think ill do 84 hours. However, i do sincerely hope i dont fuck up my students lab today at 1 |
Yeah, having Germans chew up my bulge would probably keep me awake, too. |
