Whenever you do eventually pass out (and you will unless something is physically keeping you awake), you're not going to have a nap, you're going to sleep for a whole day, possibly longer. If you're not in the fittest of health, you could do some pretty serious damage to your organs, and that's including eating and drinking healthily. Your heart, liver, and brain are all going to be overworked and fried. Absolutely do not drive for any reason while sleep deprived. I would also avoid stairs. This, after I was awake for about 5 days I slept for near 30 hours (although I did wake up for a short while after maybe 12-16 hours).	Posted by Deleted on Jan 11, 2013, 8:44:46 PM
I really dont care if someone wants to stay up 20 days, but to come to a forum and advertise it for money, i see it the same way as a b..... making her little show through the internet for cash.And in my opinion has no place in here, the way you advertised it.Thats just me though Whatever it is GL. But sincerely its more efficient to sleep then to not sleep when it comes to gaming.Not only that you dont end up feeling like shit. Though i always play 2 days straight or so.But ive done my calculations and id win more time and less bad feeling by not staying up 2 days straight and ending up sleeping 18 hours. But hell to each his own GL.

This can't be repeated often enough. Please arrange another way for your GF to get to work, and if that's not possible, please postpone your attempt for a time when you won't need to drive. The risk to others is far too high.	Posted by EpsilonWhale#3796 on Jan 11, 2013, 10:59:37 PM Quote this Post
He will probably RIP in peace ingame after 70+ hours and then he won't be motivated enough to start over and he'll go to sleep. GGG banning all political discussion shortly after getting acquired by China is a weird coincidence.	Posted by Xavderion#3432 on Jan 11, 2013, 11:09:11 PM Quote this Post
GF's catching bus to work for the enxt week, already had this arranged, it was a poor example of RL etc., so don't stress guys! Also there's not many people around there here parts 0_O	Posted by MrMordred#6553 on Jan 11, 2013, 11:56:14 PM Quote this Post

100+ hours without sleep while maintaining a reasonable level of cognitive ability to play a game like POE is impossible. If you are looking for an extreme way of extending your play time effectively then consider some of the many alternative sleep cycles that have been studied and used in the past. You can reduce your sleep time to around 9% of a day and maintain much better motor control and cognitive function than sticking to the schedule you describe would provide.
