	I had a friend who tried to stay awake as long as he could just to see what happened,it lasted about 60 hours on the other side,about 5 years ago i was lying on my bed just resting, not feeling tired,all day i had this strange light headed feeling,it was odd but not disturbing. At about 1 pm i decided to lie down and relax,i was just lying there thinking of nothing in particular,the next thing i knew it was about 7 pm the next day.I dont remember falling asleep,i dont remember dreaming i dont remember anything it was simply one second 1 pm next, 7 pm next day,about 30 hours.. It was very disorienting but i guess my body needed to make some adjustements.

	42 hours, 36 of them drinking. Slept then 6 hours and went to work. I had no hangover as i was probably still drunk when i woke up. Would not do that anymore. I was young at the time, 24 years old.

	Just about 64-68 hours, over the course of a weekend, not a full 72 because I'm counting the hours I slept Friday morning before starting this. It was almost three years ago, January of 2008. Friday was a normal day but I spent the night at a friend's house and we ended up pulling an all nighter watching movies or playing Gears of War. Saturday I didn't rest at all but that night I went to Target at midnight to get a spot reserved for when they got a shipment of Nintendo Wii's that day. It was -5˚F with the wind, oh that was awful. I waited from 12:00-6:00 until they gave us tickets, went back home, went to Church and ate breakfast, came back at 10:00 to pick up the Wii, promptly played it for a few hours and then went about my day and worked on homework until about 9:00 when I went to bed.
