Top 10 ways to STAY AWAKE

July 132010

Leeron and I decided to see if we could go 24 hours without sleeping. We made this at about 29 hours into our experiment. We dictated through our sleepless rambling thought process 10 fun ways to help others do the same.*
Enjoy your experiment.

*Note: we do not condone the use of cocaine. Although, caffeine is HIGHLY suggested.
**Side note: Not all the things we suggested were used in our experiments. And yes, we are HUGE Fight Club fans.
***Side Note 2: When you dont sleep for over 24 hours, Fight Club becomes your bible. We found it ironic that with this bout of induced insomnia, its ALL that we could think of.

MUST STAY AWAKE!!!

July 92010

Hey kiddies, so I’m trying to stay awake in an attempt to fix my sleeping problems. I think part of the problem is having afternoon naps that go on way too long. They make me feel and I can’t sleep later. So making this video is my way of focusing on something so that dinner will come faster and my stomach will then take over the task of keeping me awake. I’ve tried studying but I’ve had enough today and it’s boring and it’s been making me want to snooze more…!

Video making is a good way to stay awake I think. I mean, I can’t keep in my head so I’m going to make a video anyway. And it’s not just filming which keeps me awake. If I edit it, that takes time. Then I write these stupidly long descriptions that don’t always stick to the topic. Also, I almost always watch my videos once just to make sure it doesn’t have anything stupid in it like my bank account details or me saying/doing anything too stupid… but I only really watch once and then never again unless it’s artsy, because I still find it weird to think that’s me on camera and not someone else. Then uploading takes time, although I need something else to do while that’s going on… More Hearts I imagine. The problem with that game is that, when you win, it sends floating love-hearts up the screen. Gross. Too much, and none of them are ever black. Black hearts take the edge off the lameness. I quite like black hearts. WHY DON’T THEY FLOAT THEM INSTEAD!? Or sink them… hehe…

Yeah, so, what else… I should keep writing to stay awake, let’s see…

Apart from being fairly tired and study-sick, I feel pretty good today. Yesterday turned out good too, I really needed a break from things. Getting out of my room probably helped get me away from all the crazy in my head. I really think this environment I’m in has too much of yester-me in it. Although I do like my red carpet and my blue walls and my black curtains…! Which I guess aren’t quite as exciting now as they used to be… Buuuuuut anyway… It’s kinda interesting how changing something physical like that can change my state of mind. I wonder how long I go being back in my room before I start getting all stressed again… XD I shouldn’t mention that word, “stress”, not with assignments due in just over a week…! Crap!

Hmmm… running out of ideas, I’ll watch this video now and see if I think of anything…

My dream? Oh well… It’s getting vague now but… Who IS that character? I swear she was in some movie… Well this character seemed to be trying to get some lone enemy to comply, and had all these weapons and a sort of army, but the enemy wouldn’t budge so this character turns on one of her own who looked disturbingly like her and shoots all these HUGE bullet-ish things the size of coke cans pretty much chopping the soldier girl in thirds except that they lodged in her and stuck there, and also kind of made a frame around her suspended in the air and the soldier girl stood there for a bit with all this crap in her and then died in a really nasty drawn out way which makes me squirm and I dunno who or what or where I was but I was like “WTF, demonstrate on your enemies not your fellow soldiers, are you insane!?” but in my head so no one heard me… assuming I was even there… I think there was a chase at some point, and other things going on but that’s the event that stuck in my waking mind. I’ve been having a lot of weird dreams lately, and some have been pretty disturbing to me. This one almost seems tame by comparison.

Yeah Max is too stupid to understand that he shouldn’t pee on the floor. Shouting at him just makes him shake, he doesn’t really get the message. He should live outside.

The pill! It works so well! I feel better about it now, I hate taking stuff if I don’t see results, like how Zoloft just made me crazier without really helping me feel better. I’m just really happy. I feel almost nothing. Oh it’s dinner now, I’ll be back… Here I am! Where was I… Yeah, I can’t believe how long I spent suffering this bullshit when I could have just been taking the pill earlier. All the pain killers I used to take probably weren’t good for me anyway, and they didn’t work that well. The pill is just one tiny little thing every night AND it works perfectly! Why didn’t I do this earlier!? I dunno about my skin, don’t really care, but my period…! Wow, what a difference! I don’t feel like I have to stay at home curled in a ball anymore.

Oh oh also! Once I got off the train, there was a lady being taken away in a stretcher by ambulance guys. So today I saw the police, ambulance and… just missing the firefighters… ooh, I have matches… tempting… XD

Audioslave – Wide Awake (Lyrics)

July 52010

Lyrics from a WMP Plugin
———————————–
Audioslave – Wide Awake

You can a look a hurricane right in the eye
Twelve thousand people dead or left to die
Follow the leaders, we’re in an eye for an eye we’ll all be blind
Death for murder and this I’m sure in this uncertain time

So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I’ve seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

Down on the road the world is floating by
The poor and undefended left behind
While you’re somewhere trading lives for oil
As if the whole world were blind

ey

So come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I’ve seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

Come pull the sheet over my eyes
So I can sleep tonight
Despite what I’ve seen today
I find you guilty of a crime
of sleeping at a time
When you should have been wide awake

Wide awake!
Wide awake!
Wide awake!
Wide awake!

Sleeping cycle is messed up? Sleep during the day, awake at night?

July 22010

Hey I been having this problem for a few days now. I tried staying awake all day and going to bed at a reasonable time to reset your sleeping schedule, but it’s so damn hard staying awake!

I tried playing video games, watching funny or interesting tv shows and tried writing my story (last one just made me sleepier), and I always fall asleep in the end. I think this time I’m just going to exercise when I get especially drowsy.

Any other suggestions to stay awake, though?

i take it you cant sleep at night at present but want to . well before you go to bed do you unwind for example if you have been watching tv or playing on the computer your brain is going into overdrive for up to an hour after you have stopped doing it because its still processing the information . . stop for at least one hour before you go to bed , read a simple book , do not drink a hot drink .water is good . keep active in th day to avoid cat naps . fresh air in your room is good before you go to bed . fluff up your pillow before you get into the bed ,even pull the sheets back for 10 minutes to let your bed linen breath . give it a try .

whats the longest youve ever been awake without sleeping or napping?

June 152010

just wondering i gotta cousin who says he was up for 2 days!… the longest ive ever been up i believe is just shy of 2 days

I think it was some 41-42 hours, last summer. I got up one day, traveled to the sea that night and then, without sleep, spent the day at the beach and went out that night. I’ve slept for 14 hours after that!

P.O.D. – Sleeping Awake

P.O.D. – Sleeping Awake

Lyrics:

Reveal to me the mysteries
Can you tell me what it means
Explain the motions and metaphors
Unlock these secrets in me
Describe the vision, the meaning is missing
Won’t anybody listen
Define the riddles of my mind
Nothing is really what it seems

Dreaming of Zion, awake
Sleeping awake
Dreaming of Zion, awake
Can’t stop sleeping awake
Do you see what I see
Can you hear what I hear
Do you feel like I feel
Can’t stop sleeping awake
Do you see what I see
And can you hear what I hear
Do you feel like I feel
Can’t stop Sleeping

Can you see it, The writing
Can you tell me what it means
Translate the symbols, enigma
Expressions keep questioning me
The message, it slips, the meaning is missing
Won’t anybody listen
Prophesy, interpretate the signs
Nothing is really what it seems

Dreaming of Zion, awake
Sleeping awake
Dreaming of Zion, awake
Can’t stop sleeping awake

Do you see what I see
And can you hear what I hear
Do you feel what I feel
Can’t stop sleeping awake
(x2)

Do you see what I see
Can you hear what I hear
And do you see what I see
And can you hear what I hear
And do you feel like I feel
And can you dream like I dream

Do you see what I see
Can you hear what I hear
Or do you feel like I feel
Or do you dream like I dream
Anybody see me
Anybody hear me
Anybody feel me
Anybody out there

Dreaming of Zion, awake
Sleeping awake
Dreaming of Zion, awake
Can’t stop sleeping awake

Do you see what I see
And can you hear what I hear
Do you feel what I feel
Can’t stop sleeping awake
(x2)

Anybody see me
Anybody hear me
Anybody feel me
Anybody out there
