  • 56 hours due to a move is my longest on record, but that wasn’t my most tired. Greentext form, just for shits and gigs

    Idk how long i had stayed up, but in high school i had a day where it had been too long.
    Had stayed up to write an essay.
    Usual procrastination had occurred but Hyper Focus had set in.
    Smash through essay, hit print as sun is rising
    I walked to school in those days, and I must have dozed walking because it is just a patchwork of memory fragments by the time I arrived.
    By the time I’m waiting for my first class, I’m pretty sure I’m microdosing naps between thoughts
    Time keeps jumping around, definitely not fully present.
    First period rolls around, English.
    Go to hand in essay on Romeo and Juliet.
    Glance at text
    Has nothing to with the play
    What
    Read more
    Essay is on track for first paragraph and start of the second. Then it just breaks down.
    Citing sources that don’t exist.
    Characters stop being ones from the play.
    Not relating my “points” to the thesis anymore.
    Not even talking about the play by the end.
    Mention the mickey mouse clock being a driving plot device of the Shakespeare play in question
    Mention my own personal fear of the clock and its ominous sound.
    Essay ends with final paragraph: “Okay im going to bed now. Bye.”
    Stomach turns to ice, drops 500ft.
    Sheepishly hand in essay, frantically explain to my teacher what happened.
    She laughs, tells me to re-do it by Friday.

    It may not have been the longest I went without sleep, but it was my most sleep-deprived experience. Now it takes a couple days before sleep deprivation symptoms really set in, so I usually have time to keep it from happening. Miserable when it does, though.














  • My flight is at 7, so i should be at the gate by 6 to be safe, and the line for security tends to be long, give it another two hours just in case, and I should give extra time in case something holds me up at check-in, so maybe be there by 3, and man traffic is going to be terrible, so i should leave the house at 1…

    Then it takes 45 minutes to get through the entire airport and I have 5 hours to kill. Better than being late though, right?
