EnterTheVoid Posted November 15, 2009 Author Posted November 15, 2009 Paper finished, exams to go When your mind is truly focused and you are in the 'ZONE', you don't tend to notice the time and can pull off 4 - 5 hrs strech at a time. I am driven by the prospect of a decent job in my field during summer hence, I want to get these done a.s.a.p, one way or another. If you keep looking at your watch every five minutes and keep wondering when it would be over, it would be hard to last an hour.
DeXteR Posted November 16, 2009 Posted November 16, 2009 my record is 45 hours during exam time . and 20 hours was common once in a while during exam time.
karteekmvs Posted November 17, 2009 Posted November 17, 2009 42 was my max without planning. Should plan a Fri-Sun evening with enough interesting stuff to do(a deep analysis on Sachin's stats maybe). HAve done quite a few 34-36 hrs averaging 1 per month. And the same goes with sleeping continuously as well.
EnterTheVoid Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 Do energy drinks REALLY help or are you able to pull of marathon stretches because you know that you have to get it done and you have no option of deferrement / postponement available Red Bull / G / Mother etc, all energy drinks, all taste like shyt, like cough medicine. Rather not drink any of them, prefer to go outside, get some fresh air, recharge the batteries and start again. I can say, with some relief, I managed to get them done. Whether its of an acceptable standard or not, thats another story. Now, just sit and wait
punjabi_khota Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 ^Those drinks have caffeine and it is obviously well established that caffeine leads to higher level of alertness and can postpone the feeling of fatigue. Coffee is probably as good as those drinks I guess.
Master Blaster Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 More than 30+ hours on couple of occasions back in those fun days but now I just get real *****y when I get less than 6 hours of sleep.
EnterTheVoid Posted November 22, 2009 Author Posted November 22, 2009 Not by choice, but by circumstance, although you are your own worst enemy if you find yourself in this mess because of poor time management Luckily, these marathon stretches are only limited to exam time. I can't think of one other occasion where I went sleepless for so long to get something done.
Aaku Posted November 22, 2009 Posted November 22, 2009 Max 25-28hrs :| Goodness,40-50? You guys are craxy ! :|
