i go without sleep somewhat often. when i was younger, i did it just to see its effects. now sometimes there's just too much to be done (recreationally), or i just don't feel like spending the time in bed. the last time i did it was inadvertently, as i downed two 2-liter bottles of mountain dew in a 45 minute span, not too long before i intended to hit the sack. the real interesting hours come at around the 20-24 hour mark for me. my brain kind of shuts part of itself down, and there's this humming sound in the background. just be careful about missing too much sleep. quincy jones would go for days (6 or 7) without sleep. he wound up having two aneurysms in his brain. but hell, he was probably on crystal meth or something.
