Just can't be arsed to sleep as I have so much coursework due. Regularily do all nighters and then go to bed sometime the next day, but this time i just think 'bollocks to it, i'll just skip sleeping till my works done...'
How long have you done?
I remember that sleep program which was like big brother but they had to stay awake to win a prize. They all started hallucinating (spelling) and hearing shit 
I'm a bit worried about that hah.

I remember watch a program where a guy ages ago did a test on how long he could stay awake with no sleep. Was something like over a week and he ended up with a serious mental illness
Longest ive done is around 40 hours

I just read online (I get distracted a lot when doing coursework) - that you are actually sleep without knowing it when you get really deprived. Like they monitored someone's brain waves and they were sitting there aware of their surroundings with their eyes open, but the brain waves showed they were technically in a light sleep for about 5-15 secs.
I just get that I feel fine, then occasionally just get a wave of 'passing out / disorientation' lasts for like a split sec, and then I'm normal again.

The current world record for the longest period without sleep is 11 days, set by Randy Gardner in 1965. Four days into the research, he began hallucinating. This was followed by a delusion where he thought he was a famous footballer.

Yeh I have that sometimes. Annoys the fuck out of me, I feel knackered, but can't sleep, just sit there in darkness waiting for the time to pass, wake up knackered (made a post about it the other day).

Ah, fair, I kinda live near jnc 2 of m40 really, but drive through slough on sun + fri going to and from home.

Cool - sounds good mate. Yeh this site's pretty good for wasting time on. Just be prepared for the banter.
Yeh to be fair not surprised you aint seen my car really, I don't really go to langley much, more driving through slough / windsor.
Do you get to the chav fest cruises at windsor on sunday?
I've been a couple of times, but doubt i'll go again - people handbrake turning right next to your parked car in stolen / £20 bangers - nice
I prefere to save it for the track, than driving like a nutter through normal roads.

ahh nah m8, can't stand chav fest cruises. Not really into all that, neons, stupidly over the top body kits and silly loud exhausts sounding like they're goin 300mph when they're just plodding along. I'm more into subtle mods ya know.
I'll go for a drive sometimes about Windsor up to maidenhead sometimes into reading just for the fun of it, but i dont cause no havoc. Unless that is if i see someone driving about Windsor in and aston martin or a 911 turbo, i have to admit i WILL make him drive that car how its supposed to be driven just to hear the sound of it lol.
As for the clear lights, i've got a few m8's with corsas so i'll ask about

k I'll double check if i still got them, but my dad's having a moan about me cleaning up my shed.
Got another 106 gti gearbox to shift and some gti wheels too lol.
yeh i know what you mean about making someone use their car properly I love it when people in flash cars underestimate the car I'm driving thinking it's just some 1.1 or something lol. but sadly I know my car isn't the quickest lol, so I'm not gonna go trying to race any ferrari's or anything. But my main targets are CTR's, etc

oh gosh, the old "clean that effin shed up" moan lol, Used to get that a lot from my mum coz i had all my tools and that in her shed, so i thought bollox and bought my own shed, then i moved out and now she has an extra shed full of my car crap lol.
I love makin people drive their flash cars proper wats the point of having a car with stupid amounts of power if you aint gonna use it.
This is the first car ive owned that i actually want to do stuff to engine wise. I used to have a bmw 316i compact which was a big fat slow piece of crap lol so i done a straight swap for the corsa fair trade i would say
I would love to have the power you've got in ur car, i bet its fun to drive.

I'm pretty bored of it to be fair. you can never have enough power sadly, you just get used to it.
I wish i had some spare cash, I'd chuck forged high comp pistons in, wilder cam and Throttle body it for like 180 ish bhp 
Would be ace.

Approaching the 24 hour mark since last slept, and to be honest I feel pretty alright now.
I reckon feeling as I am, I could do another day and night easy or maybe more. Sleep is overrated anyway.
