Introduction

In this, I will attempt to record my attempt at staying awake as long as possible. My previous attempt reached 57 hours, which was enough to enter the phase of moderately strong auditory hallucinations and weak visual hallucinations, as well as my cognitive functions degrading to the point where concentrating on reading or watching anything became a near impossible task, thus leading to regular swings between boredom and terror.

Last time I was alone for the week, which may have been putting me at a disadvantage as I had no external factors forcing me to stay awake. This time I shall attempt it over a few days where I have predetermined appointments which will require me to leave the house after around 24 and 48 hours.

My ultimate goal is to see whether extended sleep deprivation can lead to pleasurable hallucinations, and to find out  for myself the seriousness of the health risks involved in doing so . I'll try to update this every few hours to describe my progress. I probably won't link this page to anyone, but if I do, よろしく！
