Answer 2

congradulations you stayed awake for more than 48 hours thats a world record

Answer 3

uhm, as long as your concious. (lol, sorry)

There's no way to tell, or say, but you really need to get sleep.

For your brain.  

Answer 4

Are you on drugs?  If not, sounds like a manic episode... are you bipolar?  I am, that's how my good manic episodes go... but if you let it go on too long, you could end up hospitalized as lack of sleep leads to hallucinations and paranoia.

No idea how long it can continue... depends on how much meth you have left and/or what the chemicals in your brain are up to.

Answer 5

This is a symptom of bipolar disorder.  See bipolar disorder, at ezy build, below, in section 10, and take the quiz, if unsure, and if the results are positive, ensure you get an expert diagnosis from a mental health professional, not doctors, who are much better dealing with physical ailments, and don't diagnose complex disorders like bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder often enough to develop any real expertise.

          Bipolar disorder usually (but not necessarily) involves major mood swings, which occur without apparent cause, and often over many months, or a matter of years, rather than days, as with most people (unless rapid cycling). I'd take 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements daily, replacing 2 of them with cod liver oil supplements in the winter months, (or, as probably a better alternative to the 2 cod liver oil supplements: 1 teaspoonful of cod liver oil, with a little butter, to ensure its use; I take mine on sourdough rye bread, or toast, covered with fishpaste, and pepper, to mask the strong taste). Those people who receive adequate exposure to sunlight, daily, won't need the vitamin D from cod liver oil, but many people, particularly those in latitudes far from the equator, find this difficult, to achieve.

         If you decide to use allopathy, (modern Western medicine) I recommend trying Lithium Carbonate, or Lithium Citrate. (regular tests are necessary, for these) before trying the other mood stabilisers, but if you aren't good at taking medications regularly, drinking adequate water, and keeping up your salt intake, something else, such as  Lamictal,  or Depakote, may suit you better. Check out "lithium"  at http://www.drugs.com/, and http://crazymeds.us/ and always research medications first, (read, and keep the labels/information sheets) so you will be aware of the risks, and on the lookout for side effects. (Personally, if I wasn't bipolar type 1, and didn't experience hallucinations, or serious delusional states, I know I'd first try the orthomolecular, and Omega 3 fish oil supplements, vitamins, minerals; a herbal remedy, and a mostly raw food diet, for several months. Note: St. John's wort, and also antidepressants, may cause mania, or hypomania, in people with bipolar disorder. I'd aso eat in accordance with my "nutritional type". Enter that term in the searchbar at http://www.mercola.com/  

         If not considerably improved, after a maximum of 6 months trial period, consult your primary mental health care provider: you may be one of those who need medications to prevent this serious disorder from worsening.  If you have bipolar type 1, an antipsychotic medication may also be needed. Everyone should take the Omega 3 supplements, or preferably "krill oil" for its other health benefits: use the searchbar at http://www.mercola.com/ . Some people refuse medication, using supplements, and a selective, mostly raw food diet (I do not recommended trying this, if bipolar 1, unless you aren't troubled by hallucinations, or delusional states).

         If applicable, maintain the treatments for the depressive phase, in section 2, at:  http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris  Some topics in section 10 include: treating bipolar disorder with supplements, vitamins, minerals, and herbal remedies (except for St. John's wort, which may cause mania, or hypomania).  As with all medications, there are risks, and the possibility of side effects, which is why I inform people of the alternatives, to see if they can cope sufficiently well, without resorting to medications or, at least use less of them. Don't use medications and supplements together, without medical advice, except for Omega 3, which is safe, anytime. It is not unknown for those discontinuing medication, and trying the alternative treatments, (which are not quick to work) to lose their jobs, because of unacceptable behavio(u)r, so I'd start 1 week before vacation, and closely monitor the situation, and use medical advice.

Answer 6

You need help. Talk to your parents or  a mental health professional.  

Answer 7

probably as long as the speed lasts

Answer 8

if you stay awake much longer you are going to start halucinating...take a sleeping pill if you dont want to go crazae.... seriously if you cant find one take a benadryll it works too

Answer 9

Until your muscle start to atrophate, like, start breaking down... Your body needs sleep to heal other wise everything will start breaking down.

Probably contact a docter, thats serous stuff you dont try to cure yourself with unless you're a coffee junky.

Answer 10

It will continue for however long you stay awake! But, be warned - when you wake up the next day, you will feel like death himself.

When you don't sleep for a pro-longed period of time, your brain produces a substance similar to LSD to keep your body going, as well as adrenaline. However, as mentioned above, the after effects aren't so great!

Go to bed!

Answer 11

ummm...do you have insomnia???

Answer 12

Your body needs its rest, and insomnia, as cool as it feels right now, can cause death eventually if you don't start sleeping soon. Talk to a doctor and get some sleeping pills, for your own sake.
