unless you can stay awaake more than 6 days you wont beat my record.....
6 days, 12 hours, some unknown number of minutes and seconds.......... (afterwords i slept for 48 hrs straight.... ) that has to be the worst bit of insomnia i have had in my life... twards the end of it, i was hallucinating.... or dreaming while awake... or something....... now i'm down  to a more reasonable 15 hours awake, 4 hours not sleeping(not awake) 5 hrs sleep.... if you dont know what i mean by that, you have never had insomnia.... 4 hours in a semi-concious state, usually spent in front of the computer... usually cannot remember what i was doing on the computer the next morning.... only that i was online... (you may have seen posts here from me during this time, usually they are very incoherent...) anyways, back to semi-conciousness.... :yawn:
4:41 am.... almost time to sleep...

you poor bastard.

...and for some strange reason, the skin on my hands had dried out and turned red...

During finals week and pulling a stint similar to yours, I feel asleep with my wrist on the wrist pad of my iceBook.

Now it's all hard and icky and stuff. Reminds me off some people's feet. 

I don't want to scare you, but could you have developed eczema?

It sounds really fruity, but try some kind of moisturizer.

umm.. i think he was talking about his wrist pad being " all hard and icky and stuff"   

I don't know.  I think he was talking about his actual wrist being all hard and icky.  Why else would compare it to feet?  And they were just talking about wrists...

No, I'm talking about my wrist. After not using a computer for a few days though, it developed white folds. Odd looking. Not repulsive, just odd.

My mom had really bad eczema that hasn't popped up in awhile, so I did consider that as a possibility.

I dunno. I'll give myself another long computer break and see if it disappears.

I think you failed because you only relied of caffeine.  If you really want to stay up you need speed and lots of it.  Then again if you are too much of a pussy to take speed all the time,  like me, let me recommend diet pills.  I like thermogenesis .  Last year it helped me do a semesters worth of coding in 3 days straight,  no breaks longer than 20 minutes.

uh huh...

20 minute breaks interspersed with 1 minute work periods.
