    Pff that's nothing, chap.

    I don't sleep well, quite often 2-3 hours a day, sometimes less, sometimes more. The tiredness usually builds up quite alot, and I end up sleeping straight through a day and a half at most. The worst is when I don't sleep at all, which if it happens one night - it'll happen two or three nights more after that. Really annoying.

    I love to sleep, but it's something I find seriously hard to do.

    I have been up for just over 50 hours once and it was not very nice at all, I slept for 19 hours afterwards. Also done 36 hours at a LAN as well, i10 I think it was.

    Dont you guys with insomnia take something? Also you should avoid drinking caffinated drinks such as tea, coffee, red bull, coke etc at least 4 hours before bed.

    This is shocking! You guys must know how unhealthy this is. You may think you can get away with it but its really not a good idea to go without so much sleep
