Holy shit, that is incredible.

Did you make an alt account just for this comment? Do you feel embarrassed by your lack of sleep for some reason?

I'm a reader of this forum, I've never really felt the need to comment on anything else.

Anyone who knows me could identify me from this post, there aren't a lot of people who have my relationship with sleep. I've met people who have insomnia, and they fall apart during day two of no sleep, it wears them out. Me, I'm just awake, I don't start slowing down because I'm awake for 72 or 96 hours. I worked 5 days straight with no break, everyone else worked in shifts,I was always observed there wasn't a period where I could sneak off and have a nap. It freaked everyone out that I was exactly the same on day 5 as I was on day 1, and they were all beat down because they were doing long hours with reduced sleep.

I imagine admitting drug use wouldn't do them any favours if they work at a job that drug tests.
