<p>Stop being a wuss.
I go 3-4 consecutive days without sleep before sleeping in during the weekends, every single week. On top of that, I’m captain of the wrestling team, so we have to go through grueling workouts every single day, even in off season, to stay in shape. For the unenlightened, this means a warmup 2 mi run, wrestling (including drilling, matches, sprints, and stretches), bleachers/hill sprints (depending on how lame the coach feels like being today), finishing off with some heavy lifting. On top of that, I have to go to after school marching band tourneys and football games, cause being section leader sucks, and so does marching band. On top of that, I have to maintain a decent GPA with my 5 AP classes.
Yes, I’m a manly man, but you can be one too! By not complaining.</p>
<p>i just got diagnosed with an “unknown viral” disease that in my case is acting a lot like mono, and the doc says i only lost the battle with the virus because of too much stress due to my schedual and lack of sleep. now im sleeping through school and sometimes not going all day and i cant do my homework or study because im always sleeping and when im awake im too tired. Its even more stressful than before. Get sleep, even if it means you dont finish something. I learned the hard way.</p>
<p>Every one of your symptoms were caused by lack of sleep. During finals last year I stayed awake for 44 hours consecutively.
After 36 hours I started experiencing “microsleep” where your brain/body goes to sleep for periods of 2-5 seconds…with no warning. For anyone who has not experienced this: imagine you’re talking with someone, or just walking through your house when your vision starts to blank out and you start having very vivid dreams, like you’re at the peak of REM cycle. You hear loud crashing noises but they’re very far off in the distance. You then wake up with a bruise or two as you’re laying on the ground, not quite sure what just happened to you.</p>
<p>After 40 hours I got the same body aches you describe. It’s like every muscle in your body is bruised/damaged. Every single one. </p>
<p>By the way, the best thing to eat to stay up for long periods is bread. Complex carbohydrates will sustain you for as long as possible. Do not mix large amounts of caffeine and simple sugars, when the energy is depleted (within 1-2 hours max) you’ll crash and burn horribly. Complex carbohydrates provide a much higher duration of energy and are easy for the body to break down.</p>
<p>yeah i have that too rossk! well like i’m just walking around and i hear noises and i fall, but i dont feel any pain. its horrible… it’s stopped lately… it actually may be a headrush b/c is happens whenever i get up really fast… it kinda feels good though, like you don’t know whats going on … and the next minute you find yourself with you face flat on the floor.</p>
