are you talkin about that Naruto marathon that comes on soon?
well, i've gone longer without sleep...(about 5 days, if you were wondering) but i'm not sure if it's bad for you...
Done only once in a while, it's not too harmful. but it's not "safe" to do by any means. I've done it a few times, but I've gotten sick once or twice when I did it because of the lack of sleep. It usually gets tough after 30-some hours for me.
The main things that can cause the damage is if you are drinking a lot of caffeine to stay awake, or if you might have some minor illness that might be sitting in your system (which can get you sick if your immune system isn't fighting it well enough).
I know sitting on the couch when I'm tired can make me fall asleep, so you may want to have some things to keep your body awake (walking around, sugar, maybe small amounts of caffeine, etc). Oh, and try not to get too comfortable or it'll be tough to stay awake.
You may want to also take some extra antioxidants or other immune system boosters just to be on the safe side (to prevent as much risk of illness as possible). When you sleep, your body is able to recharge, regenerate, and fight illness. when you have a lack of sleep, your immune system gets bogged down because it can't recover well enough (by sleeping).
Aside from all that, I would suggest not to do it often and wish you luck in trying this time. Oh... and prepare to sleep a good 16-24 hours after you're done with the marathon.. and it'll take some time to get your body's sleep schedule back on track ;-)
It's not really bad for you, but staying up that long can affect reaction time, cause you to halluncinate, and you may have low energy. So I would suggest getting as much sleep as possible before this marathon then take it from there.
what!!!!!!!!!!... are you mad that is 2 days straight do what you want to and when you die and see god tell him hi for me
ok
thanks
record the damn thing...
It's not THAT bad. I really don't think you can die from staying up that long. I mean really, I used to stay up for days on end when i was about 15, 16. I can't do it anymore for some reason. I don't try to understand it. I just hope you have lots of time to recover your sleep when your show is over. And the worst that would happen is you fall asleep and dont get to watch it all. Here's the REAL question, why on earth would you want to waste 50 Hours of your life watching TV?
Better get yourself some cocaine. That's my recommendation. I do it all the time. No problem.
It's not healthy but for 50 hours straight? You could tape the show during the night time. You'll feel nauseous . But then again i stayed up for like 2 weeks when i was 7 (not litterally, but i slept for 3-4 hours every night) But anyways, I don't think you could get like too sick. If you have a good liver i mean, but have a barf bowl beside you incase you get sick =)
