Going for world record, legit lol . Longest game session, advice?

Be careful. I was up for about 60-70 hours straight once doing schoolwork that I had fallen behind on. Near the end, I was having some pretty crazy hallucinations that were scary as hell.

 

You're going to trip BAWLS. Staying up for more than 48 hours causes the 'chemical' in your brain called DMT to kick in. DMT is what causes you to dream. So, you're going to dream while you're still awake. I've got a friend who did this once, just to get the 'high' and he said it was the most intense trip he's ever had, so yeah. Do it.

 

I once stayed up for roughly 66 hours straight just to see if I could make it to 3 days. I had no caffeine outside of a few sodas and did not alter my diet whatsoever though, so I'm sure I could have gone further if I really tried. It wasn't hard, though near the end I did start to have dreams while awake. It actually got pretty scary, as in to the point where I wouldn't recommend it. Dreams are not generally scary because you know they are dreams, but when they begin to merge with real life things can go sour pretty fast. Without some sort of stimulant like meth, things might get a little weird for you after the second day.

Good luck though, and make sure to have fun. Don't put the record above your health.

 

Well first of all, don't do this. Very, very bad idea.

But if your going to ignore me and go ahead with it, here are some tips:

- Before anything, check with your doctor. If he says go for it, make sure to get ALOT of sleep beforehand.

- Have caffeine, but only when your feeling tired. If your just thirsty, go with water.

- Have 5-10 minute breaks every couple hours.

- Listen to upbeat music that helps you stay awake. Dubstep, techno, rap, etc. (Quick song suggestion: Animal Rights - Deadmau5, sickest beat I've ever heard.)

Good-luck, and don't die!

 

Considering how unhealthy this is, you'd be better off just taking real DMT.

 

Ok, I used to have sleeping issues where I didn't sleep for 4 days even when lying in bed, it was connected to drug use, I won't have any real damage done to me as it's nothing new, I just get tired more easily then before =p

AND COKE GTFO, Coke's useless, high's to short, and you'd crash to hard.
Meth would be drug of choice for this, but legit fuck that (y) no drugs LOL .

 

Ok I only read the first page, but I have to say something. DON'T drink anything containing caffeine. That's the worst idea possible. Caffeine may keep you away for a few hours, but you WILL crash eventually.

The best thing you can do is eat healthy and get lots of sleep prior to doing this. Eat lots of banana's (potassium), lots of fruit in general, drink lots of water, etc. Nothing heavy in carbs (pasta, rice, potatoes, bread, pastries, etc). Also, no heavy meals like steak, pizza, etc. However, almonds would be a good food to eat (in small quantities).

Tbh I think this is a stupid idea, but it's your life. I'm not sure about the comments on pages 2+3, but seriously this is probably the best advice you're going to get. I'm a health expert and know my shit. Anyone wanting to argue, go for it. NO caffeine, NO refined sugar, NO "natural energy supplements." Just lots of sleep prior and lots of mental preparation.

i would say a box of redbulls and box of snacks and some food from the store you can eat. or just make it in the microwave or something, or make your mom cook something really big to store it away so you can warm it up and eat it

 

Dude, I'm being entirely serious. Time release capsules of Vyvanse or Adderall will keep you awake and very focused for hours on end. Take 2 of them if you start to feel like you're falling asleep, should last about 8-10 hours. Then follow with food and caffeine. Repeat. Seriously. Shit will keep you up and focused beyond a shadow of a doubt.

 

There was a report of some guy in Korea who was at a internet cafe for 2 and so days and died playing starcraft. Wouldn't risk it.

 

You only need to go for 72 hours to break the record?

Seems a little low if you ask me..-

 

I'm a Biomedical Scientist. First off - your body has a biological clock. It basically runs on ~25 hour clock via circadian rhythms. Now as it is a rhythm it is a pattern - you go to sleep at 10pm, naturally wake up ~8hours later.. If you jump into the deep end and throw out the clock you will get all sorts of adverse results and fail at the task. It's like a marathon. No one goes out and just runs 42KM, they get a taxi first coz who honestly wants to run that far.If you are on school break try going to bed at 4am, 12am, just random times and screw your clock up a bit. Do this for at least 2 weeks.

As far as diet/drinks go - the secret here is do it inline with what your doing.. Do a high risk activity that keeps you alert, gets all the chemicals that make you lala up and running, when you're doing boring shit, smash down a couple of V drinks to spike all the fancy chemicals that make you not pass out You also need 2 types of food. Slow releasing and fast releasing - So healthy shit when your feeling ok, and sugary goodness when your slumping followed by healthy stuff- apples are good.

Next FFS please stand up and stretch, or atleast stretch your legs out when you play (EVERYONE SHOULD DO THIS) at least once an hour for 5 mins. Blood pools at the bottom of your legs.. How do you think it gets back up? If you don't your legs will drop off.

Plus no offence but im pretty sure supernerds pull 72 hour sessions gaming as part of their morbidly simple life. The longest recorded time for anyone to stay awake is 264 hours or 11 days without caffeine.. L M F A O !! fuck that lolol.. so in all seriousness you won't be able to do it in the comfort of your own home in nice warm conditions.. Go to a lab, and be a guinea pig. Sit in the middle of a room with a computer and chair (or converted gaming chair/toilet) with guinea pig sucklers coming down from the ceiling and letting you suckle on 1gm caffeine every 4 hours, whilst playing on a giant 55" LCD with all the best gaming equipment and music cranking Seinheisser or Candy headphones.

P.p.s at least play a game that won't put you to sleep after 3 minutes. Try and beat tetris or something.

 

Also consider the fact that this dude was probably sitting on it for 12 hours most days of the week, if not everyday.I'm sure 72 hours will be fine.

 

Meth will work

 

You only need 51 hours. Lol.
It's a sad record, I just wanna bump it up to something decent =/


& to everyone, I decided I'd do it at an internet cafe with 3 buddies, that way it won't be boring or comfy =p

 

This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO badass
Sounds like fun as well :O

 

Meth is honestly one of the best options.

 

the body does'nt need sleep, its only the brain that needs rest.

OT. get energy drinks,coffe, lots of food with sugar.

 

caffeine pills

 

This.
No other method needed.
