    Went a week without sleep earlier in the year.

    I don't drink coffee (horrible) and im not a big fan of coke, so my caffeine intake is pretty low.

    Its not as if i was trying to stay awake either, i just couldnt go to sleep.
    Which ultimately meant, my gaming time increased tenfold.

    In the end i just got drunk, and slept.

    Basically after several days of lack of sleep , you will start to become psychotic. I work in an Intensive care and it is a well known fact. Sleep deprivation will lead to a form of psychosis. Your mind will start playing tricks on you, ie seeing things that arent there, like shadows etc (which i have experienced first hand!) Its basically what the nazi's did as a form of torture in wwii. But hey we all did it at uni at one time or another.

    Explains a lot about me... since I normally only sleep 3-4 hours at a time max

    He's probably fallen asleep

    Personally I wouldn't recommend excessive intake of coffee as it has lead to death previously: http://www.baylor.edu/Lariat/news.ph...ry&story=37247

    You'd also need to be drinking other fluids so as not to become dehydrated.

    Relentless is quite tasty... and quite good value compared to other energy drinks (And they often have it on offer at Asda or Sainsbury's as well )
