Day 24

Task: See how long you can stay awake all day and all night. But you can't have help from coffee, tea, soda, or sugar.



I remember when I was little and got sent off to bed and wishing I could stay up as long as I want! Well I figured that I should take advantage of the fact that I can now. So I embarked on a no-sleep day to see how long I could make it without any help. To be quite honest, the longest I've ever stayed up in my entire night was 24 hours. And that was because it was the day of my prom and I was so excited I couldn't sleep the night before and I was out all night having fun with my friends. My friends joked about my sleep deprivation because somewhere around 5am the next day, I began to act extremely loopy!

So, I went a good 20 hours without sleep! Sure, it isn't my record but then again I wasn't running on excitement and anticipation for half the day! I nodded off around 4am when all the good television shows were done airing and all they had were exercise equipment and kitchenware infomercials. I can definitely appreciate my parent's decision of a bedtime now because I was so cranky when I woke up this morning! Haha. Luckily, I took a long nap and was back to my usual happy self! Kids don't try this at home.
