Preface

**I am a 15 year old male, so things may be very different for you**

I stated this on 6/9/06 after I stayed up for 24 hours not even realising it. I remembered that I had a haircut in an hour and a half so I slept for about an hour. I decided to see how far I could go on some coffee and will power, 72 hours being the goal. I stayed up another 16-17 hours, but forgot about the nap, so I though I was on around hour 40.

I used my better judgment and went to bed, since the 24 hours before the nap were negated, and I was already tired from that. From waking up at around 8:00 on 6/11/06 I restarted my goal.

I am currently in the middle of hour 33, and since you missed out half of the expiriment I'll fill you in to what happened. The first 24-30 hours are the worst, you feel tired and you start going over "the hump". "The hump" is what I call the time when you stop feeling tired as much, but get spurts of sleepiness that make you want to give in. I almost did a few times, but I pulled through.

I will update this blog once an hour until I finally give in, and post tidbits of things in the middle of each if I have something to say. My minimum goal is 72 hours and I WILL go as far as I can after 72 hours.
