This one time, at band camp...

When I began reading the brief for this immersion assignment I was, inadvertently, already under way in terms of my immersion. I had decided to take a break from an ‘all-nighter’ for an assignment due in the morning, and once the brief was read I already had the idea to extend said ‘all-nighter’ for more than just one night. Essentially, I would try not to sleep for as long as possible.
Now the entire concept sounded like a great thing to write about in theory, but turns out that if you go without sleep for two and a half days, everything becomes extremely boring, and if, by chance, something interesting does happen, you struggle to remember it. By the time I reached the second afternoon without sleep I simply could not remember most things I usually should be able to remember. My last meal for example.
By the end of it all, exactly 40 hours without sleep, I was sufficiently impressed with myself and deemed it time to enjoy a day-long sleep. In hindsight I probably could have gone on sleepless for a while longer but am in no hurry to try that madness again.
