Buffybot ,'Dirty Girls'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
If you let me break it into two bits, I can get by on five hours. If I have to have all five at once ... I'll still crave that afternoon nap.
I suppose if I weren't kravving I could go longer with less -- but sleep dep erodes my reflexes, and that gets me injured.
Oh -- I lied. On acid I've gone longer. But I really wanted to sleep.
It may not be a pretty sight, but I think I'd like to see this on video.
It's not really that entertaining...though, I suppose that depends on your definition of entertaining.
If your idea of fun is watching me bump into doorways, spill things and come close to setting myself on fire? Then, whoo hoo, part-ay!
On acid I've gone longer.
Now, there's a story I wanna hear.
I can still get by for 2 or 3 weeks with 3 or 4 hours a night.
ON a good night, I get one 4 hour chunk of uninterrupted sleep. Usually I get only 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep. And this has been going on for two years now.
Kristen, thank you for asking, because I am dying to hear it.
Only once though
Okay, maybe twice if it's really good.
It may not be a pretty sight, but I think I'd like to see this on video.
If Kristen's 60-hour-without-sleep intervals are anything like mine, you'd have about as enjoyable a viewing experience as Samara's audiences.
56 hours was my all time record. I think everyone should get 10 hours of sleep a night and the world would be a much better place. I would be less cranky, anyway.
See, more than 9 hours of sleep makes me useless. (Unless I'm coming off a period of extended sleeplessness, in which case I can do 18 hours at a time.) It just makes me groggy and lethargic and I don't want to leave the house.
More than 6 or 7 does that for me, as does anything over an hour or so nap wise.
In order to get out a special edition of my college newspaper, I stayed up from around 8 Tuesday morning until 10 Friday night. Towards the end, I was seeing Lovecraftian creatures in my peripheral vision. Ah, youth!
