We tried staying up for two nights; and
three days straight. We wanted to find out what would happen, what side
effects would happen, how we would react at school, and what drinks make
you stay awake. We did our project on a Sunday to a Monday, then Monday
to a Tuesday.
All of our friends said we were really hard
to deal with; and that we didn't have any patience for anything.
The drinks on the first night were Coke and
Water.
We bought a big two litter of coke, and we would just drink out from
there, and when there was no coke left, we drank water.
On the second night Indigo drank 'red rain' which is a sort of energy
drink that has a small amount of acid inside. While I, Bianca, drank
water and homemade juice the whole night.
The first night the coke really helped. We
only slept for about 30 minutes. Then when we got to school, we were
very energetic. We were having fun, and we couldn't wait for the day.
Then when we got into class, we felt dead. We were REALLY tired. I,
Bianca, even got kicked out of class because I wasn't paying attention,
because I was sleeping. Indigo didn't get kicked out, but she silently
slept, until one of her peers woke her up because they new this was part
of our project and we HAD to stay awake.
When we arrived back at Indigo's house, we started watching Maury;
because we thought all the drama would keep us awake. And we asked
Brando, Indigo's brother, to wake us up if we fell asleep. We ended up
pretty much passing out on her couch because we had to sleep. And then
he'd wake us up, and we didn't even remember falling asleep!
At the second night, when Indigo drank Red Rain, she felt SO SICK that
she had to fall asleep. So I was left to stay awake alone. I kept on
getting up and walking around her house every time I felt like I was
going to sleep. I didn't sleep that whole night.
When we woke up, Indigo was under the impression that she was on the
phone with our good friend Lynn's mom. She picked up her cell phone, and
started saying 'Oh HIIII KAREN (Lynn's mom). Nooo Lynn's not with usss...
Yeah I'll check. Buh byyeeee' and I had to prove to her that their was
no chance she was on the phone with Lynn's mom, because it was 6 AM; and
the phone wasn't even on.
We found that water and coke help you stay
awake the most.
And that most of the effects are very true. You feel nauseous, your head
starts throbbing, you forget a lot of things, and your mussels ache.
