I have mirtazapine on prescription for sleep, but I havnt taken it for a week or two. It turns my dreams into acid trips.

Actually, in response to my reasons, I would be doing it to have the written and recorded experience. Honestly I may be doing it a little bit to get some attention, but I think my main reason is really scientific. I like science and would like to have an organized register of everything that happens. I will be testing my awareness and overall cognitive function every 12 hours or so, I will also record the most important parts. I'm not taking any energy drinks or caffeine, at all, as that make things worse. 

 

Edit: Forgot to mention, I will try to not risk my health too much. If I begin to feel really bad, I will immediately stop.

ive done it before! isnt that bad as long as you keep yourself mentally stimulated.

If you know what I mean *raises eyebrows*

I've gone 4 days before at a lan, tons of surge, monster, and a bit of vodka was involved

I will attempt to stay awake for 72 hours. Starting Sunday at 8 am, to finish Wednesday at 8 am. Yes, I'm really really bored and slightly insane. What do you think will be the side effects? Do you think I'll be able to do it? Would you do it :P? 

Go watch the no sleep challenge on youtube.

Play games thatll keep you hyper. Lots of CS. But only when you get more tired, you dont want a game to wear you down too much mentally in the beginning.

I made it 58 hours while still going to school for 2 days. Once you hit the point of you aren't tired and sleeping seems stupid you know you are over tired. Then you keep going until you die or just pass out and sleep. This was all without energy drinks or any type of stimulant. It was fun trying to remember how I got to school

"What do you think will be the side effects? Do you think I'll be able to do it? Would you do it :P?"

I've done this many times, although admittedly I generally crash for 30-45min ever 10 hours while I patch a server or some shit.  More like 4 hours of sleep in 80 hours.  You generally become hyperaware after 20-30 hours, although I've never hallucinated or thought anything was going to kill me...  Not fun but sometimes necessary (rarely thankfully) 

 

I fucking clue why you'd do this without necessity...

I feel ya man, for some reason at college I can't sleep at all usually go about 4 days without sleep before crashing for about 3-4 hours somewhere random on campus...thankfully we have a great campus and I don't have to worry about being robbed or something while sleeping. I have experienced minor hallucinations at around 3 1/2+ days and you truly question your sanity at that point, most of the time for me I see shadows where there aren't any and think that I hear people/something close by me when this happens and it really reminds me of someone looking over your shoulder and casting a shadow in front of you off to the side of your periphery vision...I jump every time honestly. 

 

I lack the hyperawareness after a while though and go into a low functioning state (perfect for grinding mmo's...not much else)

I've gone over 72 hours before in high school, not hard when you down caffeine in unhealthy amounts (Starbucks has the best dark chocolate covered espresso beans, I recommend them to keep you going when nothing else works anymore) and have nothing scheduled. I actually did it during finals for high school because school hours were cut short so I could spend more time playing whatever MMO/MUD I was addicted to at the time.

The hum of the data center is very soothing though. I've had data center staff actually tell me I couldn't sleep in the data hall and I had a few local hotels on speed dial before because I would literally crash on the crash carts.
