24 hours with no sleep----updated
 

and i'm about to go nuts, i have started to polish my sprocket, was way to easy, took 2 min, seeing as it was already polished , just dirty. so i started in on my frame, that really sucked so i stopped, that can wait for another day. i then started on my rims, i have them soaking in that airplane remover stuff now. oh yeah this all can about due to the blow out i had yesterday,so no back tire. well so i have the rims soaking, so i figure why not start in on the swing arm. so now my bike is torn apart, i have been up for 24 hours and really need to sleep. BUT of course i can not it is easter and i have ****e to do, yawn.[:@]

Sleep deprivation training was standard as part of our advanced training. When I was an instructor, Iwas up physically moving for periods as long as 105 hours. It is a myth that we actually go somewhere and hit the rack.
Just stay focused and keep moving you'll be fine today:)

Usually when I polish my sprocket I go right to sleep. Did you try sitting on your hand to make it go numb first?

RE: 24 hours with no sleep

my old roomie was 2/1 Fox Co. Scout Sniper Platoon and he would tell me about the sleep deprivation stuff they had to do..

RE: 24 hours with no sleep
 

and the sleepdeperation...ive heard a lot of stories about it myself military channel and such, it looks prety damn extreme.2 days has been my limit but nothing longer. i remember a few years ago i think i use to sleep about 30 minutes for about 2 months, that almost killed me going ot work lol.

Hey Fuze - fraternities are awesome contacts man. If you ever plan on making your own money, a fraternity can be invaluble later in life.

Sleep deprivation would suck. I love sleep too much. Not like most people - everyone loves sleep. I really love sleep. Sleep and food. I really love those two things and I don't think I could give them up short of a catastrophe!

RE: 24 hours with no sleep
 

I hate sleeping. I understand it is a necessary evil, but I always have to talk myself into bed (unless the wife puts some, uh, "bait", out). 4-6 hours a night, max. I've done 4-5 days before w/out sleep...sometimes I even did it drug free. Those days are far behind me now, though.

Always gotta havea 1 upper. Just kidding HC. Thats pretty insane staying up for that long, doesnt seem humanly possible. Once again HC is the man!

33 or so and counting................... i'm shooting for 105, i want to be hardcore now, i think i'll make it like 5 mre then quit,,,, lol, so sleepy.

RE: 24 hours with no sleep
 

It's not just about being up 105 hours, but being coherent and able to carry out assigned tasks and being able to recall details and physically function at some level of effectiveness. This is a personal best, not one set by anyone. I have for some quiet time operated on numerous occasions, at 56 hours with no rest. At peak performance INDoc is 48 hours long for the individuals being evaluated your day starts and ends long after their

RE: 24 hours with no sleep
 

Sorry to hear you can't sleep Sam ... I wish I could ...I've been awake over 24 hours now I think, it's the drugs and pain killers ...sort of drift off but then I'm wide awake, no quality rest ...sigh

RE: 24 hours with no sleep
 

same here, minus the drugs, i dont take pills, hate um.

RE: 24 hours with no sleep
 

Sleep deprivation training, Will show you a lot, if the individual has a bad attitude and is hiding it. If they cannot handle stress, truly cannot work well with others. All of these things and many more, will come to the surface. For those individuals they will find themselves on their way back to where they came from originally, where they are able to obtain some semblance of the proper amount of rest, because in the real world on the field of battle. No one truly sleeps, but those with the ability to operate at a normal level with little to no rest will always have the upper hand

RE: 24 hours with no sleep
 

definitly true..i came off of a 5 day green side patrol friday...mission planning and prepe fri- thru sun, sleep maybe4 hrs a night.. Insert monday..8 click movement thru the hills..conduct hlz rep..build hide..post security..no sleep this night..next day get fragged for an OP,,7 click movement (should of been 4 but our point was ass backwards) security/observe a road intersection..man optics mess with ur head after a while...and this continued thru thurs night when we E&E'd for 7.5 clicks..what HC says about seeing people for who they really are is 100% true.. add no sleep + heavy rucks+ comm not going up+long movements= people becoming very stressed out and very touchy...this was my first op with my team and it was a lil rocky, but no 1 is a **** head, no 1 went to sleep on security, couple minor arguments when the pt walked us up and down a peak twicde cuz he had no idea where we were cuz he relied on a damn gps..i think that most everything that went wrong in our patrol we'll be fixed as we operate togethor more...oh i forgot the best part..at the end when u just want to pass the **** out u still have to de brief you get intel guy taht reads all your logs and asks a million lil questions...always have to be alert, observing and remembering the smallest detail..

RE: 24 hours with no sleep
 

so its been almost 48 (46 now) so my friend has bet me 1000$ i cant stay up for 94 hours, hell i'm doing it, just to buy more gear.

RE: 24 hours with no sleep
 

Seriously Sam ... don't do this ... it's more damaging than people think and completely pointless it proves nothing ... why do it if you don't have to? ... I'd give anything to sleep right now ...

Take care

RE: 24 hours with no sleep
 

Damn Saturday night I only got 4 hours of sleep and I was a dead man walking yesterday. The only time I felt awake was when I took the bike of a short ride in 35 degree temps. The longest I'v stay up is about 40 hours and it was not to bad as long asI stayed moving.
