> I go to 5-6 pro level pool tournaments a year,and between playing tournament matches,watching gambling games I'm sidebetting on,or actually gambling myself,staying up for 36- 48 hours straight is not foreign to me,although assisted by whatever carbonated/caffienated beverages are around,but no coffee. My personal record was 74 hours,the duration of a 128 player tournament ran on just 6 tables and crammed in over Super Bowl weekend. Me and my friend got home,he laid down on the couch,and I went to my room and fell into a narcoleptic coma for almost 36 full hours. After waking and reading a magazine article,I walked out of my bedroom to go piss,and my homeboy had just woke up and was smoking his first cig of the day,perfect timing. All of my personal experiences with self-inflicted sleep deprivation are 100% on the natural,no man-made drugs ever here. I know people that have wigged out on crank and stayed up for 10 days,and another that dropped too much acid and was completely awake for 14 days. He still isn't right. Tommy D.
