Have they woken up yet?

Hmm, well I don't think they are back on here yet...
So we are pretty sure the experiment has failed now... Pity..

LOL. Seems they lasted about 24 hours and a dozen ale!
*waits for further reports*
~j~

*begining to get slightly worried..

Remember:
Post #1 (reprinted below) said this was for a pscyhology project at school.

We may be the mice.

Or, maybe they have been thrown out of class for failing to complete the project and lost their online proviledges.

Or, since they said it would happen around Dec13th... [you decide].

for my pschology coursework myself and a fellow student are staging an 'awake-a-thon'. the purpose of this is not to go insane, but to study the effects of complete sleep deprevation on the human body and mind. we are attempting to stay awake for 148 hours (the record is 214, by a dj called Tripp.) but we are in dire need of suggestions of techniques for staying awake. if you have any ideas and are quite confident that they work please let me know. we are trying to stay away from drugs as these can have side-effects that can be confused with those of sleep deprivation e.g. halusinations.

it will probably take place on the 13th of december (or there abouts) so we would welcome the company on-line.

ok, ok so we fell asleep after a measly 36 hours. but, it was a good piolet study for the (now) real study. we are very touched by all ur concern for us over these past few days (gone for a very long walk! indeed.) i did go into colledge the next day, sat through a general studies lecture on politics and played a 1 and a half hour game of 4 a side hockey. (i think thats wot put me to sleep) as for matt..................he went to a night-club after i failed. (good move?)

we will now be constructing a full study for a future date, with the expereince we now have helping it be more realistic.

watch this space.

(a non red-bull space.)

far as i can see the only really worrying thing is when you do the experiment for real and come here to make a report and realise that not only are the same people here when you are, but that they havent been to bed yet either!

good luck with the real experiment, we totally want lots of reports so you'd better keep posting.

are you going to include 'hang out with psyco's' as part of your tactics for staying awake?

Glad you're ok.... now, don't forget those daily updates!

Totally pleased it is as simple as you fell asleep and not that you fell asleep whilst opperating heavy machinary and consequently ended up being preserved for prosperity in a tin of backed beans... Caffine is a bad idea i recon, weather red bull or not... well a few cups of coffee/tea might help, but excess won't cause you tend to get such a rapid come down of caffine.. probably.. and now, sleep, can someone remind me?

Any sort of caffinated drug - red bull/coffee whatever...they wake you up but after the initial 'hit' you're gong to be even more tired...better to avoid them altogether...

not forgetting that chocolate has caffine in it too, not to much as an etent as coffeee though.

so what happened with this? Did they do it?

doubt it

i know i couldnt

i like my bed too much

faBT

me too, I am way too tired atm all the time, stress of final year i guess, at least it's the weekend now and should be able to have a lie in.

Hmmm, I'm wondering if they ever made it now also...
I do hope they are alright

I do hope they are alright, though if they are, it would be nice if we could have a note to see how it went

*fingers still crossed that they are OK

Anyone know where the Bush/Blair bashers are tonight?
