60 hours without sleep sucks

Yeah, so I've been doing school work the last couple nights instead of sleeping. Signals and systems analysis with Matlab and the frequency resonse of op-amps just interests me too much to allow me to sleep. How could I possibly close my eyes for a few hours when there are so many microelectronics problems to solve? so many Bode plots to draw? Maybe I should be in bed right now instead of posting on this forum, but I see that hapoo is catching up to me, so I should probably lay down a few posts before I lie down for the night. __________________ my eyes are beginning to twitch. is this a bad thing? __________________ ...that would explain the urine smell __________________ well damn i didn't even know i was close, I kinda gave up with the race after 2k was passed somehow, get your sleep cole __________________ i've never gone that long, but sometimes after 30 something or 40 something hours of sleeplessness, i do get those twtches and stuff; i kind of enjoy them, but when you get in bed, and they continue, you get really angry because they keep you awake. Oh well. ProMinx ps - i remember when i would've been the one that people were thinking about passing... __________________ well with my experience is after 30 hours or so I seemed to get very hyper then around 40 i almost pass out from tiredness __________________ Did you guys see on MSNBC about that drug developed in Canada? They gave it to a bunch of soldiers and gave them repetitive tasks to do on a computer for over 60 hours. They drug allowed tho soldiers to do the tasks WITH NO MARKED DIFFERENCES between hours 1 and 60! Can you believe it? No sleep for 60 hours, but no change in performance?!? Plus, they only needed a normal nights sleep after the 60 hours and they were totally fine. Can you imagine the potential study aids, party drugs, and so on? Any pharms here who can get me some? __________________ Quote: Originally posted by mahalo Did you guys see on MSNBC about that drug developed in Canada?

It'd REALLY depend on what sort of tasks they were doing... I mean, how hard is it to surf the web for porn for 60 hours straight? __________________ Yes, I have accomplished this feat yet again... and I'm still going... let's see, tomorrow at noon will be 72 hours... I wonder if I can make it?? __________________ they were totally fine my ass. I'm sure any kind of regular use of this stuff is going to have long term effects. The candle that burns twice as bright... That's one you can take to the bank, baby. The body needs sleep to rebuild. If it doesn't get it, its going to catch up to you somewhere, sometime. __________________ I don't know how you people function without sleep. I've played at a party one night at 5:00 AM and the next at 10:00 PM without sleeping in between, but I have no idea if my set the second night was any good. Any more than one night without sleep and I'm totally useless. So where can I get this super-soldier drug again? __________________ Well, I'm all the way up to 5 hours with out sleep today. Boyhowdy! I sure am tired. __________________ wow, and i thought my 6 hrs of sleep was bad.... __________________ Yup, it's me again. Still goin strong... almost there! __________________ @@ <--your eyes after too many hours in front of the illuminating blue glow of the god awful monitor. __________________ Too bad you are double sectioning because the summer classes were quite good and signals and systems was challenging but not difficult. But I will have to attribute that Fan is nowhere near as good as a proffessor as Boyd. Good luck on your finals! One last thing, I can't believe they have you drawing Bode plots, I thought we had more than enough of them in networks! __________________ Just checking back in again... almost 74 hours and counting...
