Really no other tips other than sheer dedication.

I did my 7 day stunt without any coffee or energy drinks at all.

Its also useful to learn out to let your mind out on a vacation during the sluggish hours.

For me, during those hours I would just stare at a wall and let my mind sort of just wander and trip out.

Kind of hard to describe. Your awake, but your mind is almost separate from you. You got your basic motor skills, but there's no one at the wheel so to speak. Your like a zombie.
Interesting. I'll give it a shot eventully.

I've went 5 days without sleep.

The second and third day was actually very weird, I felt... High.


We should play a game, who can go without sleep the longest. Any players?

Way, way to long.
Because it's my summer holidays, my entire internal clock has flipped. I wake up at 7-8pm and go to sleep at about 11am.
It's so weird to look at a 12 hour clock, see 9am, look outside and it's getting dark out!
Goddamn it people, those small gekkos are not called miniture gekkos. They are called Scarabs.

iAn's stunt is especially impressive as he still went to school and DROVE A FUCKING CAR and all that stuff without having sleep. Besides, it isn't that far from the longest documentally held record of Randy Gardner who stayed awake for 11 days.

I hate having too little sleep myslelf. It makes me feel... well, tired.

Yeah, that driving my car part was the scariest.

I literally passed out while driving to school, which is a very winding 20 minute drive.

I snapped back to reality as I was walking to class from the parking lot. For a moment I thought that someone else drove me here, but I couldn't remember who and then I looked down and saw that I was holding my car keys.

I don't recall saying that it was a "cool" or an "awesome" experience. All I did was tell you what I did.

It didn't seem like a bad idea at the time since during those hours when I drive to school, your body is still feeling a little weird, but your mind is still sharp.

I had been driving to school the past few days without sleep anyways. It was just on the seventh day with no sleep in which I passed out and scared me so badly that I quit my stint.
