Breaking the Movie-Watching Record

I don't know - I once watched the entire SW saga including both clone wars sets in a day and as much as I enjoyed it, it just about killed me. I can't fathom going for 5+ days on a movie binge...

I could endure that, but what I could not endure is being 5 days without sleep.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Watching movies always makes me sleepy anyway... I'd doze off mid-marathon, without a doubt.

With enough crystal meth, man is capable of anything.

I'm not clear on how long I'm able to stay awake before I can't stop my eyes from sliding shut, but I think it probably doesn't exceed two days. Not that I've ever tried more than about thirty hours.

Those people are crazy to be attempting this. I value my sleep very, very much.

I've pulled about 60 hours straight once, but was so burnt out I could hardly even speak, and things had to be repeated to me a few times at the end, and... ouch did I pay for it the next day.

But, I'm no stranger to having to go three days with only about five or six hours of sleep overall in that period. Conventions are draining...
