36 hours awake...straight...

damn. no way in hell could I do that. after about 20 hours I'd be eating everything in sight because the more tired I am, the hungrier I get.

:lol:

Perhaps I won't go with the 36 hour day idea. I talked it over with a friend, and he said that it's really not healthy, and that the half-life of caffeine is 8 hours, and most people can't sleep with any more than 25 mgs of caffeine in their system. A can of soda contains about 50 mgs of caffeine, and I've been guzzling generic mountain dew for the past couple of days. So maybe I should lay off the soda for a while...

Ooo...some use for what I just learned in my pharmacy book...it takes 40 to 56 hours for caffeine to leave your system if the half-life is 8 hours. Wow...that's a lot longer than I though. No wonder I have trouble falling asleep.

Actually I have no problem with falling alseep on caffeine. I've seen myself have 15 cups of strong black tea back to back and still crash without a problem.

But Mountain Dew??? I heard a couple of years ago that it has more caffeine in it than ANYTHING else (except maybe Jolt or Red Bull). Has WAY more than coffee. No wonder you can't sleep!!

that's a day and HALF. you're going to get off schedule.
