How many days without sleep is ... approaching dangerous levels? Factor in substituting Espresso.

Asking for a friend

Comments

[lioness_rampant]

How long has your friend gone without sleep? Hypothetically.

[shiro2hero]

uh

[Okay, he thought he was texting Krieg, but. Sleep deprivation and all.]

when was the Contest?

[lioness_rampant]

Shiro...

Is your friend hallucinating?

[fingersandteeth]

Something upward of 72 hours?

Shiro, are you okay?

[shiro2hero]

[Okay, he swears this is the wrong number but--]

Is that all?

Yeah I'm fine

[fingersandteeth]

Those are not the questions a fine person asks.

Do you need someone to hypnotize you to sleep?

[fuelthefire]

Blue says about 72 hours.

She also says espresso isn't a substitute for sleep.

Is your friend okay?

[shiro2hero]

I thought it was more...

Yeah. Just fine.




How are you?

[fuelthefire]

72 hours is a long time, Sugar.

I'm good! We had fun at the contest. But I don't know what we're gonna do next.

[schachmeister]

[Hey, guess what that is? Is it Shiro's gear signalling an incoming call? It sure is! Does Shiro have a custom ringtone set for Armin? Is it a Wailord? If so, that sure is the sound of a Wailord coming from Shiro's pants, and damnit, pick up that phone right now.]

audio;

[shiro2hero]

[It's totally a Wailord. Which makes this whole pants thing a little awkward.]

[It also goes to voicemail.]

[cyclonely]

all i know is there's an indie song that says it happens sooner than dehydration.

ok and also there were experiments on it i think? i am pretty sure if you start hallucinating it means you have been awake too long.

[shiro2hero]

... Who is this?

Why do you have Krieg's 'gear?

[Shiro that's not Krieg's number.]

[bendyandthepinkmachine]

the sleeping stuff is pretty new to me. i couldn't stay away for more then a day, and believe me i tried to

[shiro2hero]

[Well. Apparently Steven was right and this is... super public. Great.]

From what everyone has said so far, I ... apparently don't recommend staying awake that long.

[Even though that's pretty much standard practice for him.]

[brokencode]

Shiro.
I hope you'll forgive me for being presumptuous but. Please sleep.
I would hate to hear you yelling about nipple salads and other unpleasantries.

[shiro2hero]

Hey Angel


You're not presumptuous. Apparently my question to Krieg has... gone public.

But don't worry, that's definitely more his speed than mine

Hello to you too.

[angewiesen]

A friend, huh.

[shiro2hero]

That is what "asking for a friend" means, yes.

[pkemeter]

The human record for the longest period of time without any sleep is currently 264 hours, or 11 days. The body cannot go without sleep for three or four days without beginning to hallucinate. However, if you are aiming to stay up for longer periods of time to attempt to get more work done, I can inform you of a method that has helped me reduce my daily sleep average to about eight minutes a day.

[...Egon, no.]

[shiro2hero]

Then at some point I fell asleep, because that's a big no on hallucinations.

Thankfully.


okay, you know what? Sure. Not like I have anything to lose at this point.

Humans normally need a lot of sleep, don't they?

[There's a short pause between texts. Then:]

What is Espresso?

text

[shiro2hero]

Normally, yes.

It's a kind of coffee. Really strong, a lot of caffeine.
