Dangers of nocturnalising

Kazuma

So what do you think of the risks that go with it? :pac:
Sure, theres the obvious ones, like tiredness, losing track of time and having to go to school/work/do an assignment without even having slept first, but what I want to know has anybody encountered the negative effects?
Like, say, 4AM blues?

I normally get a headache around 5.

If your computer is in a common area then falling asleep with your trousers and Y-fronts around your ankles is a pretty big danger. Hate when that happens.

Hahaha, that hasn't happened to me for years, and it happened on the couch in the TV room...ah, spanish television, between the hours of 12-7 it's nothing but hardcore porn (with the occasional hentai thrown in...oh, those crazy spics)

Red Hand

I was awake for about 3 days straight with no sleep about two years ago (can remember why, probably due to work and insomnia) and I fainted in the hallway of where I was living at the time. One minute I'm making my way to the kitchen, next minurte I wake up wondering what I am doing on the floor, and did I sleep walk?

Took a few minutes to realise thatI had fainted and was out for about 10 minutes. Got a nasty bump on the head that left a mark on the wall when I dropped!

The main risk for me is engaging in an accidental 10 hour gaming marathon...
suddenly the flame light cancer ball is rising in the sky and you started playing at 12 pm...

I don't get that anymore, I reckon I burned away my pain receptors years ago

It's always the way that you can't sleep until like an hour before you're meant to get up then its the most horrible thing ever trying to get yourself out of bed!
I've fallen asleep on the laptop, I've stayed awake nearly all night, played poker til the wee hours, done the staying up two or three days straight, you usually drift off for 5 mins and wake up feeling like you just got off a rollercoaster.
any AM blues can hit
random headaches can hit

kinda fair game really for anything to happen

Ugh, I hate that Why do bright screens have to be so burny?

Crumble Froo

actually, i find it makes my eye go all weepy if i spend too many nights up online.

another problem is getting too used to being up all night, and then gettin drunk, and only starting to get to that "3am" stage of drunk at 6am, and deciding it's too early/late to go to bed, continuing to drink, and just going through the rest of the day as normal, except still pissed and then the exhaustion will hit later...

though i highly recommend not showering in that condition.

The falling asleep on the laptop has happened to me, too...only it's a Fujitsu Amilo, and the whole bloody series has a problem with heat...so after I woke up I realised I had almost burnt the side of my face off. Couldn't touch it for days -_-'

Ohhhhhhh, for the love of sleep deprivation! I can act my crazy self, but now have an excuse!

eep! careful with that! i used to not sleep much at night and do my homework instead (people could never figure out how i found the time to do all the sports and socialising i did as well as homework), but used to use a lamp on my bed to see... one night i fell asleep when the lamp was still on...

and woke up with flames around me, the place stinking of smoke, and my mother trying to drag me out of the bed.

careful now.

I've been pretty lucky with not going up in flames so far, but I'll take the advice to heart anywho! Used to do the homework at night thing, but then college happened. *le sigh*

Crumble Froo

damned college... but yeah... careful. apparently the fumes tend to put you into a deeper sleep. that one coulda ended well differently if my ma hadnt woken up when she did :eek:

In a similar vein i woke up one night with a hole melted into my duvet!

When I'm in night mode I mumble to myself during the day. Starting sentences and tailing off sounding a bit drunk like jack sparrow.

I have gone shooting with the RDF in Competition whilst not having slept for a nuimber of Days. Ran up to the Firing line, Got down got loaded, locked and cocked. Accidentally shot 10 feet infront of the firing line with 12 people around me.

Continued firing and hit 3 plates. (Out of 4 bullets including the ND)

That is the best shooting I have ever done, and we still lost!!!

I'd say that was a classic moment!
