Subject: So, what is the most tired you have ever been?

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Went 41 hours without sleep once, and something must have been seriously wrong in that I didn't feel tired as much as I wasn't functioning correctly.

I ended up 'deciding' to go to bed out of pure decision as supposed to being so exhausted that I needed the sleep. Not trying that again.


That's about where I am. I'm still pretty amped up from the ER. Aside from the person dying, there were 2 gunshot victims, and a drugged up woman that was yelling at a mop and bucket to let her get off the bed and go home. There I was, holding my wife's hand encouraging her to keep trying to breath deeply and calm down, while trying not to black out from my own anesthesia side effects.

So, a little residual adrenaline is still in me, and I am considering one of those Tylenol PM's to put me down hard. The only problem is that I am worried that I might miss Mrs Charlie calling out for help if I do that.

Paroday will be missed :(

September 27th 2009

My best friend and I pulled a no sleep weekend one spring break back in 2005. We stayed awake from 8 AM on Friday to about 12 AM Monday morning. We were just two kids hopped up on soda playing Halo 2 and watching movies for hours on end in his basement. -blam!- good times.

I believe the both of us crashed for the entirety of Monday to recoup after that one.

"You get what you put into it."

When Legendary is too mainstream, you have Heroic. When you're the leader of the church of MLGeezus, have Epic in your username, and can't write 'About Me's' to save your life, what do you get?

This guy. And now, an side note: Most things I post contain lethal doses of sarcasm, so be warned, and try not to take me seriously.

Finally, a message to Bungie trolls everywhere.

Definitely not a good feeling. Regardless, hope you and your wife recover from recent events.

Thanks. We'll be fine. Hell, I already am. The only thing that gets me is that I grey out a couple of hours after anesthesia. There is a term for it, I can never remember it. Strange feeling. Luckily, I didn't have to drive until well after that all passed. I just changed Mrs Charlie's dressings and ice packs, and while the poor thing looks like she just did 12 rounds with Tyson, she'll be right as rain soon.

I've done that flight. United?
I had to get a colonoscopy, she had some work on her sinuses. Mine went smoothly, she had a minor allergic reaction to her anesthesia, which caused her airway to tighten up. When she came to, she was in tremendous pain, and couldn't breath. Because she was panicking, and her airway restricted, her blood O2 levels dropped below the safe point for administering effective pain meds. So we had to ride an ambulance to the ER, then get her admitted to the hospital.
Me being the concerned husband, I stayed there, and awake the whole time. See the person died thread for what I was doing to stay awake...

Out of curiousity, what was the anesthetic?
EDIT: Forgot the on topic part...
In a field exercise I treated a man going into anaphylaxis. Had to watch him sleep the entire night and 6 hours after he woke up.

Let's go with both.

My insomnia acted up really bad one summer and I didn't sleep for 7 days, it was really scary.

i think mine was Demerol, but I could be wrong. It's described as a twilight anesthetic. Hers, I have no idea. We're having a talk with her primary care physician and the anesthesiologist about that on Monday. It could be a new drug allergy that we need or her record.

Ooh! New Drugs! Haven't heard of Demerol yet. Any idea if civilian hospitols use Fentynol? I feel like I misspelled that but it's basically a sinthetic morphine but much more potent.

Around 2 days without sleep and I had a really hard time in my first hour class.

The most I've ever gone without sleep is 36 hours, but I've been more tired in the past month when I would get an average of 2 hours of sleep a night for the entire week.

Good luck Charlie. As a man who doesn't generally say that to others because I feel it's pointless, I really mean it. Very cool Floodian you.

Also, it's pretty noticeable how tired you are in your posts.

I gaze upon the stars and see the majesty that is the universe.


EGO mos bulla astrum.

Went to school on 4-5 hours of sleep and then running 3 or 4 miles in cross country practice. Lets just say my bed felt like Heaven.

Also I'll pray for your wife. Whether your religious or not I hope you take the sentiment kindly.

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.

My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

Probably on my way back home from Italy. I'd been up for about 55 hours straight and was trying to reset my body clock to local time. Couldn't even recognise my own sister.

I know everything, I've just forgotten most of it.

Also, my XBL Gamertag is 'Wenggh', not 'A Stolen Fruit'.

I didn't sleep for 48 hours once.

I went nuts and laughed at everything and felt even happier than I usually do!

Although it's definitely not a good idea to stay up that long, the only reason I did is because I couldn't sleep on the flight back to NZ from China.
