[@infinitea4258]

Man, I was just about to pull an all-nighter. It's almost like you guys knew...

[@yiangaruga4928]

Infinitea Me too, I'll still do it though long live the weekends n_n

[@emth7084]

same

[@infinitea4258]

Jere Kreivilä You and me both brotha. =P

[@infinitea4258]

someone else, Yeah I agree, the only issue is that I never wake up from my naps in the first place sadly.

[@infinitea4258]

Diggin D. Man, I can barely get through one night.

[@chaywen9240]

When Fallout 4 was released I stay up for 35 hours because I went to school, then gamestop at 12:00am and then stayed up until the next afternoon. I went to sleep and when i woke up 4 hours later I felt terrible for no reason, and I had to shit really bad. While i was on the toilet I hallucinated that I was in power armor and was stuck on the toilet and I remember yelling at my brother to get off the game because it was the only way I could get out of the armor. Then for some reason when I went to my room to go to sleep I thought I had radiation posioning and was going to die and the one thing I was sad about was, get this......I didn't want to die because I wasn't done with Fallout 4 yet. Over a year later and I hate Fallout 4, but I remember those two days like it was yesterday, no regrets

[@chaywen9240]

Oh yeah and all I had was a power aid that ran out 3 hours in and the only thing I had was pizza from school.

[@tommypheap]

Lolz I did the same .. Its so addicting to play Fallout 4.. I pulled close to 40 at one point of the week.

[@NNNSSSCCC]

damn...

[@malucolouco2010]

damn, I was hallucinating about The Witcher months ago, I remember at the time I was trying to craft the Ursine Witcher Set, I was almost attempting to sleep, but I said to my brother, stop playing around, where did you put those bloody diagrams Roach? I felt like it was a dream and my brother was a horse. ( goddamn excellent game though )

[@ZornsLemon671]

that might be the greatest story ever

[@1evanc]

Interesting and engaging topic, the editing and graphics are great. Hope this channel grows and grows

[@drofty]

i once didn't sleep for about 36 hours. when i walked home from work, i remember dozing off for a few seconds WHILE walking. it was at that moment when i decided not to fuck with my sleep cycles.

[@arca9ine758]

This channel is off to a great start. Love the content. Keep it up.

[@thijspostma5031]

The editing was on point, it looked amazing!

[@runargisli9694]

Your voice is majestic

[@ammarosman374]

Love this new channel would love to see loads more

[@SpikeShroom]

It's possible for a human to stay up for 11 days. Any more than that, and they just die. Like seriously, they just keel over. It's weird. And now I kinda wanna try to stay up for 10.99 days.

[@72pinkush]

im pretty sure i would die after 3 days, cant even reach 24 hours lol

[@okok-sr9ih]

spikeshroom lol

[@TigWelder]

Tony Wright stayed up for 11 days in may 2007

[@Arthen_]

spikeshroom some teenager in America did a couple decades ago aswell I think, 164 hours. I can't even make it through college damn lol

[@SidOfRivia]

ARTHEN PLAYZ Someone did a world record for 184 hours by watching all 10 seasons of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. non stop.

[@kaneriseley3124]

I love this channel so much the topocs are great and the animations and shit are so amazing

[@Durkoola]

I actually kinda like the feeling of not sleeping. That feeling you get when you go beyond tired, you know, when you could go to sleep if you wanted to but so long as you are focused on something you feel perfectly awake.

[@markojovic1350]

Really nice video i enjoy watching things like this...amazing editing GOOD JOB GUJYS!!

[@kappachino2569]

sleep is a physiological need, so just sleep, just do it

[@kappachino2569]

thegalaxy2012 dreams are dreams

[@Incognit0777]

thegalaxy2012 Let yourself dream first.

[@kappachino2569]

kinda like when the military guy in the video is saying he's losing motivation, cuz he's losing sleep, and sleep is one of Maslow's physiological needs, which are needs that help boost motivation

[@kappachino2569]

robokiwi that's a disorder, that's different, but true

[@kappachino2569]

robokiwi ya, I looked it up a while ago. makes sense

[@n.s.mcmahon6180]

Falcon sounds like he needs a nap MOST of the time.

[@hollowcoffeebean]

Love you guys Never stop doing this

[@VinceTrousers4]

Great vid, love the channel already

[@redriot6563]

Shit I gotta try to be awake for 72 hours!! Seems kinda interesting

[@BlackBeard95]

I've been awake for 56 hours at one point, I started seeing all kinds of shit. It really is like a bad acid trip. Just don't do it, and if you are going to try, try to prepare yourself for some of the weirdest things ever. Or just buy acid. Acid is a good idea

[@BlackBeard95]

dawson holt Shrooms work wonders. Chilled out trip unless it's a bad trip, then you'll know about it damn quick lol

[@n.s.mcmahon6180]

I had to do it for a sleep study in collage once, and it's not the fun Grateful Dead kind of trip, it's a " Oh my God, the shadows are going to eat my skin!" kind of trip. I ended up attacking my brother by the end of it, gave him a three inch scrape along his jawline before he put me to bed manually.

[@patricksheehan9476]

Just buy shrooms or acid. From what I've heard no-sleep hallucinations are bad trips so it's fucking terrifying and one of the worst times of your life. Just do drugs and sleep its much better

[@redriot6563]

I study far away from my hometown,my ps4 and my sweet Internet connection.So whenever I'm back home and it's nearly time for me to go back to my college,I try to consume it's service as much as I possibly can...Like around 3-4 months worth of gaming and streaming videos on the Internet in around 5 days or so and it's only possible if I don't sleep.Well I sleep around for 2-3 hours in 48 hours and I know how it's feels.First when you try to get up you fall and than that nauseatic feeling with a heavy head on top of your fucking neck and when listing to music during that period,it's even worse man!!

[@taylorrowson3961]

Keep doing these! I hope this channel doesn't end up getting canned...

[@chris1893]

love your vids and this channel

[@meatbaby126]

I don't sleep enough. last night I fell asleep while playing fallout 4... I woke up to having 10 more hours on my fallout save and a red line on my face from the edge of my desk. I was only awake for a day and a half. the amazing part is that codsworth kept me safe for that long. I didn't die.

[@Burger087]

I like this new channel you guys have made

[@goranmarkovic9059]

It's funny how I've barely slept this week and then you guys upload this video. It's like you knew I was only getting 3 hours of sleep a night.... Holy shit is Falcon stalking me?

[@alphaomegananite]

well shit I just got Zelda and I'm free tonight

[@romans.9474]

Okay aside from all the information so far (writing this comment halfway through) the video is like beautifully put together. Good job 👏

[@Ronoui]

Love these vids! Keep them coming!

[@brunosnowsilva]

Pretty good video. I wander when the next will come out.

[@malucolouco2010]

Damn good video Falchon, my personal record is about 52 hours, the lack of coordination and starting to become a total moron was my main symptoms, no surprise I almost missed a test the next day in high school. good times

[@ridered300]

I have bipolar and a few times during manic episodes I just couldn't sleep even if I took sleeping pills, but felt fine the entire next day. It's a really weird feeling being that exhausted because you didn't sleep, but not feeling sleepy. I really can't even imagine it right now, so I can't even start to describe it.

[@willpagan9576]

i watched this vid at around 2. thanks for telling me to go sleep. i needed it.

[@JD-jl4yy]

who else is watching this while they should be sleeping lol

[@shiloh4754]

JD me it's 3:42 am

[@dragovskiverkovic222]

But I sleep 4 - 6 hours a night and still function propperly.

[@LaRoca2k]

Dragovski Verkovic same and so did Arnold, but it's not the same as going without sleep. Also some need more sleep than others. Personally I function really well with just 4 hours of sleep.

[@legendp2011]

do you need an alarm to wake up or do you wake up naturally?

[@m-yday]

Dragovski Verkovic I'm usually getting less than 2 hours of sleep a night, I function well, until the middle of the day When I had less than 5 hours, I worked really well, with no problems The recommended amount of sleep a night is 7 hours and 30 minutes. We're well below that

[@legendp2011]

try getting 9 hours every night for a month, and you will feel 10x better. if you wake up early try going back to bed, only if you absolutely can't fall asleep should you than get up. You will not notice improvements until about the 2nd week, because it will take time for your body to recover. You are probably so sleep deprived that you don't remember what being alert and awake feels like. (I went through most of high-school on 4-5 hours, only now do I realize how silly that was. given that efficiency goes out the window when you are sleep deprived)

[@davesdinnerz9243]

legendp2011 yes, the same thing happened for me. I went through a high school year with about 4-6 hours every night and when I had a whole free week of nothing during the summer holidays I was finally able to catch up. I was sleeping for 12-14 hours every day during that week and afterwards I became a much better person (or so what I was told). Then I started to sleep for over 8 hours usually the next year and my work was so much better, I understood things much easier and I went from a C grade student to an A grade student all because of sleep. But at the time I thought it was impossible to get more then 10 hours of sleep at night and 7 hours was enough.

[@justinboersma1006]

love the new channel guys keep up the good work

[@wastetime6194]

Thanks.

[@watevero923]

This video in Europe came out at midnight, i'm seeing this at 2 AM, sooooooooooooo... Yeah you are making me go to sleep Falcon, thanks

[@erikpalerik9359]

Cool, free high.

[@TheWeirdPianist]

Not worth it. It feels horrible.

[@B0ss0fTheW0rld]

great vid love it

[@Auridus]

The irony is not lost on me that I stayed up 2 hours later than I should have to catch up on KZbin and ended up watching this.

[@TheTravelHub98]

I just pulled a 6am-10pm shift on 4 hours sleep so this is fitting.

[@tobydunnagan]

My poor dad has restless leg syndrome. He is often at the 48 hour mark, and its sad to watch. He doesn't drink, but at those sleepless levels, its hard to tell.

[@denlocaltis5541]

I remember around the time Skyrim came out, I would binge play that game and not sleep till REAL late or not at all so when I went to school I was so out of it that when my teacher gave me an assignment, I swear I saw the 'quest gained' icon that would pop up. Freaked me the hell out.

[@tristanrast246]

What happens when you don't sleep: You climb from Master to GM after spending 32 hours convincing hanzo to pick reinhardt.

[@HussRisingYT]

I see what you guys are doing with "wastetime". Indirectly educating us, I love that. Thank you for spreading these great messages, keep it up. God bless.

[@tieswelten7309]

i almost don't sleep because of school work and test but only when there is a test

[@vdemongod]

Like I don't even pay attention to these videos, but I still watch them because, for some reason, Falcon's voice is amazing background noise... anyone else? Just me? Okay.

[@kalessine4842]

one more game, that's my reason.

[@Masterhitman935]

WHOA, another video

[@StretchReality]

Sleep is such a waste of time though, if only it was optional :P

[@yamigekusu]

I only slept an hour in a thirty-six hour period back last summer. I was traumatized by a living room fire a few months back, and I've had a hard time sleeping since then...

[@danielclark-hughes692]

30 hours is my record, couldn't fathom how it feels to be awake longer than that. The military guy made me think how it must feel to be awake for that long under so much stress.

[@FoZeJuv]

You guys should do some creepy type of videos

[@Hytekdk]

Once a week isn't uploading "videos like this all the time" but, hey, just saying. Still love the content. Keep it up! 👍

[@T-Painal]

When I was younger I stayed up for three days straight.(I think the release of Halo 3?) The last day was the reason I willingly went to bed. I didn't have scary hallucinations but I definitely was having some problems with my vision and straight up processing information. To this day I only sleep 3-4 hours a day. There's definitely a few reasons I don't sleep often. But not sure if anyone is actually interested in me delving into them.

[@andrewhamptonjr2068]

falcon , I recently Stayed up for over 48 hours , simply because of Ark Survival evolved... I seriously can't remember everything I did but I do remember making a lot of progress on my game 🤘

[@CrypticSc0tt]

This video made me very sleepy.

[@willvansant360]

Y'all remember this channel

[@online_mathimata]

Love it

[@kondaresto]

i started developing symptoms of insomnia about a little more than a year ago, dont really know why it started but i got some pills for that (they sucked, it dried my bronchs making me feel like i wasnt getting oxigen) after that i got some other pills and it worked great for a while, then i started preparing myself for university and the pressure is higher than i expected, i also fell in love with a girl recently that moved to another country and that ceirtanly made things worse, i dont take them sometimes because my priorities are all over the place and i want to get things done and i miss her too much, im glad to see you guys doing other things this was very informative.

[@msshelley3919]

I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, ptsd, depression, and anxiety, sleep for me is difficult, and usually very broken. I don't get to a deep sleep, when the body repairs itself from the day. There have been nights where I can't sleep at all.

[@numa2k147]

A newborn can keep you awake a few days too

[@KhunShawn]

I forgot I subbed to this channel

[@rellnumbah8245]

Aww Falcon I was hoping you went a little further in the time line to around 5 days so I can getta quick glance at hell week

[@niklasreisinger5215]

Kind of ironic. Im watching this at 3:00 a.m. ^^

[@Jargonloster]

The editing on this channel is top notch 👌

[@wastetime6194]

Thanks.

[@GE0attack]

i m watching this late night wow😩😩

[@skywardsmite]

I have the best reason not to sleep. Four words, BREATH OF THE WILD

[@florisdriessen2867]

kids don't try to halicunate by not sleeping just try lsd

[@annfranksus1531]

agreed... and fuck school too

[@TheFunnymix]

I have restless leg syndrome and it really really sucks, sometimes it keeps me up for days and I start seeing shit like shadow people and it no fun

[@juanramos4322]

9 years old and with Final Fantasy Tactics in my ps1 during a summer break, 2 days straight is my record.

[@ChristianOsorio-ed1qo]

That 72 hour looks nice af

[@gageharris3457]

I cant sleep because Videogames are just too damn fun.

[@Yostopn6i]

getting up to go to bed laying down in bed realizing that you're Wide Awake again

[@marc4008]

Once on black Friday from working and not getting sleep (pretty sure it was over 32 hours), I drove home and had one of those "microsleeps" and hit a mailbox.

[@ihereouou5474]

The only thing I knew from staying up late, the time goes faster.

[@ihereouou5474]

I sometime stay for at least 24 hours. I felt like a robot. I felt nothing. It's just that anything can happen. I have to predict everything my parents will ask, so no one will know about staying up late

[@TheLucifer92]

I study architecture and I had so many all nighters... none of them were chained into a 48h one but I experienced both micro sleeps and slight hallucinations every time.. (not serious hallucinations but quick trippy vision effects/disturbances)...

[@tristianpoore2214]

On the last day of school in 11th grade, my friends and I all agreed to stay up as long as we could in celebration. We had a Lan party at my house..... roughly 72 hours later I was passed out walking into a corner in gmod death run, to this day we argue over who passed out first, I'm pretty sure I won tho

[@rezzanurdianza1205]

Perfect, my sleeping time is a mess during my college break :D hope I can sleep like normal human before college start next week.

[@TheRychanek]

Being in the Army deprived me of having good sleep. Although, I never slept as a kid, before the Army I had nice R.E.M. sleep and took a bit to wake me. Now, after the Army I do not hit R.E.M. sleep much at all and now my dreams are all gone. I sad now. However, you guys need to upload more videos. Do one on blood cancers. That would be awesome.

[@raagenes102]

Longest I've ever been awake is 91 hours. I'm an insomniac w/ anxiety problems. Meds that I were on where causing the opposite effect, making me more anxious. At the end of the 91 hours, I ended up in the ER after a panic attack well driving. The docs gave me some sleep aids. I like to call them knock out pills. One of the main things I noticed during this experience was mood slings. I'd go into moments of rage, followed by crying, than be really happy & than start crying again.

[@jelle6370]

hallucinating starts at 56 hours not 72. i've been awake for 65 hours myself abd i didnt really hallucinate. i did see some things that didnt excist but nothing major. but most of the time hallucinations start earlier than 72 hours.

[@benjaminbeaudry8642]

Whenever I play civ 5 with my friends we always can't stop until the next day.

[@B1ueJesta]

I played Little Big Planet 2 four day straight one time. It turned into meeting new friend and the best sleep ever.

[@fletcherstange9338]

i have pulled an 24/30 and felt so good i couldn't get to sleep and i got an energy surge i since have thought that it is good to stay up really long every once and a while

[@seanwiltshire9529]

this has given me alot to think about based on how i sleep

[@monicarr8869]

After about 18-20 hours of no sleep i start to see black little blips in open spaces when i look around.

[@blindedbliss]

I experience night terrors on a nightly basis. But although it disrupts my sleep, and keep me from going to bed, I almost always sleep at least five hours. Not to say I don't wake up screaming in the middle of the night, but doing so has become so common to me that I just go right back to sleep after realizing it was just a dream. Once I did also stay up for 36 hours, playing Assasins Creed III for 30 hours straight, because the story became so fascinating.

[@Arthen_]

I try to avoid games ruining my sleep pattern but I remember final fantasy 13 releasing and I kept telling myself one more chapter and I ended up playing for 18 hours lol

[@Griever42605]

When my baby was born last July I set a new personal record of 83 hours awake. I have never been so happy and felt so bad at the same time.

[@catfishvodka6668]

I stayed up for about 50 hours once. started to hallucinate objects and see some weird stuff. I could also hear voices and noises that seemed to be calling out to me.

[@midnightheart8264]

I have health problems and very bad insomnia that keep me from sleeping. there have been times where i was stuck awake for a week. to put it lightly, it's an interesting experience being awake for that long.

[@savions4005]

Stayed up mostly 24 hours playing horizon zero dawn and my eyes where itchy red and hurts. I had headaches and felt sick but damn it was worth it

[@zakzerkich1788]

Savion Smith your eyes likely dried out as you will tend to blink less when watching a screen. In the future get some of those Visine saline eye drops.

[@savions4005]

Zak Zerkich noted

[@jesselozano5608]

The longest that I stayed up once was two nights straight playing my Nintendo ds with Pokemon heartgold when I was nine and I felt fine for most of the day until the second night I almost fell asleep but the third night I knocked out cold I couldn't stay up

[@timhd1362]

Should be sleeping but all these games keep calling my name

[@JoeyCannoli97]

I've done at most 78 hours for school and work, it is not fun. I wouldn't say you hallucinate, but it feels like your in a dream. Slight tunnel vision, day dreaming yet only thinking about how tired you are, short attention span, slow to notice when people are talking to you, nodding off, the such. I suffer from insomnia so I normally run on an every other day schedule.

[@AdrianRamos-px5oz]

What about too much sleep like sleeping do 24 hours?

[@TheCordero26]

Once I stayed up for 72 hours, it wasn't that bad, I didn't had hallucinations in the whole experience but it was hard, like very very hard to keep track of the time like it was Monday and I felt like it still was Sunday. After the 72 hours keeping myself awake with coffee and bread, my body finally said "You know what? I can't go further than this" I went to my room and slept for 24 hours like my body and my brain shutdown for a whole day to repair the damage of being awake that long. It was fun tho.

[@xeroforhire]

so there was this one time that i stayed up for 36 hours, and my friends were being so pushy about my going to sleep that i took it as a challenge. that is, until i saw the baby doll, and it was the scariest thing imaginable at the time. i screamed in front of everyone and then they made me go home. true story. Another time , i stayed up all night to drive home from across the state and my body went int auto pilot. I woke up at the exit for mu home town. thank god i didnt die.

[@christianstudios5359]

Idk why but when I hear Falcons voice I imagine he's a bald guy is that weird?

[@BuKoxy]

When I was in high school I picked up Call of Duty Black Ops 1 at a midnight release and proceeded to play for about 30ish hours at a friends house. I ended up passing out on his floor and woke 5 hours later abruptly and realized I had experienced my first, last and only wet dream. Either my friend raped me or my body wanted sleep so bad it was equivalent to sex lmfao.

[@redpanda416]

I once pulled a 72 hours counter-strike play session when I was young, I took a few naps about an hour each, but was mostly awake and playing counter-strike. At the end I remember I was really thirsty even I drank a lot of water and I was constantly sweating while It was really not hot. I didn't feel so bad but I guess my body was starting to collapse.

[@ddoober]

I stayed up for 48 hours and I decided to look at the clock, it was 3:12 pm, I look around for a second or 2, then I looked back at the clock... it was 3:43 pm! I was so confused and now it makes sense... I probably took an nap without knowing it! XD

[@evil_over_lord_213]

I regularly stay up all night and I usually feel fine during the day
